Workcamp Details

Description: The organic garden initiated by Mas Rengga and his father Sukirstioyono in 2013, 'Konco Tani' Garden, focuses on developing organic farming production facilities by using the natural resources available around the small garden which they manage independently. They carry the mission of liberating farmers from the influence of middlemen who cause many losses to farmers. Until, in early 2018, they met an Agro sociopreneur called Teman Berkebun/Bhumi Horta and decided to develop a permaculture garden in their area along with agricultural volunteers in Semarang City and surrounding. In early 2023, they were given responsibility to manage a waqf land from an Islamic educational institution and changed the name of their garden to "Konco Tani Nurul Haq" Garden.

Type of Work: By collaborating with Teman Berkebun/Bhumi Horta, "Konco Tani" intends to create a garden that applies the principles of permaculture in a sustainable manner. To make this happen, farmers and volunteers are starting a goat farm and an organic fertilizer production center for the organic farming community in Semarang city. Gradually, the Konco Tani garden will become a sustainable and educational agricultural system.
