Abstract: Although the Green
Revolution in Indonesia has shown an increase in theagricultural production, a
rapid marginalisation process among the farmers has taken place simultaneously.This
article aims to identify the role of Sekolah Lapang Petani (Farmer Field
School), which is one of the programs conducted byPengelolaan Hama Terpadu
(Integrated Pest Management,IPM). This program is conducted by the government
in response to the negative impacts of theGreen Revolution that is consideredto
be responsible in deteriorating the local knowledge andthe local wisdom
techniques, the power of creative-innovation and the freedom of the farmers.This
study was conducted in two different sites in South Sulawesi, namely:
Manjalling Village (Gowa) and Soreang Village (Maros). Our informants are those
who joined SLP-PHT program in the two locations. They consistof 17 farmers; 5
of them are from Manjalling, while rests arefrom Soreang. We triangulate,
in-depth interview, observation, life history, and focus group discussion (FGD)
as our data collection methods. The results showed that the implementation of
SLP-PHT program in Manjallingand Soreanghas played an important role in the
application process of the local knowledge and the farmers’creative-innovative
development in agricultural, such as productive, righteousness, adaptive, and
environmentally friendly.
