Prinsip Pemberdayaan Umat Dalam Agribisnis

Abstrak

Community empowerment in agribusiness is a strategic approach aimed at strengthening the capacity of local communities to manage agricultural resources independently, productively, and sustainably. This study examines the core principles of community empowerment—including self-reliance, participation, sustainability, and equity—and analyzes how these principles can be applied in community-based agribusiness development. Using a literature review method, this research synthesizes insights from books, scholarly journals, international institutional reports, and relevant policy documents. The findings indicate that community empowerment in agribusiness is not solely focused on increasing farmers’ income but also on enhancing their capacity through education and training, expanding access to technology and information, strengthening local institutions, and providing inclusive financing mechanisms, including Islamic finance schemes. Furthermore, transparent and integrative partnerships between farmers, government, the private sector, and religious institutions have been shown to create fairer and more competitive value chains. This study concludes that community empowerment in agribusiness is a multidimensional effort that generates economic, social, and ethical impacts, thereby serving as a crucial foundation for achieving food security, community self-sufficiency, and overall societal welfare.
