Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Hutan Adat Mukim Paloh Melalui Pengembangan Usaha Tani Berbasis Agroforestry

This community service activity aimed to facilitate the empowerment of the Mukim Paloh customary forest community through agroforestry-based farming development in Padang Tiji, Pidie, Aceh. The documented main activity took place on October 13, 2025, using local coordination, interactive extension, field-based learning, and farming discussions. Implementation was described from the activity report, attendance records, assignment and partner letters, and photographs, with attention to learning access, participation opportunities, and local coordination. Attendance records contained 83 name entries: 19 on the university team and student list and 64 on a separate participant list. Documented outputs included a learning forum, field-based explanations, and initial identification of needs concerning planting arrangements, land and water conditions, group coordination, and farm management and marketing. These outputs describe an initial empowerment process, while farming development remained at the learning and preliminary planning stage. Changes in capacity, self-reliance, adoption, income, and environmental conditions were not established. Continued support should prioritize site assessment, joint planning, and structured evaluation of participant learning and implementation.
