The demographic bonus is a condition where there are more productive people than non-productive people. Indonesia is predicted to experience the peak of the demographic bonus in 2023. This can be a momentum to boost the progress and quality of the nation. On September 5th 2023, the Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Study Program at Universitas Gadjah Mada held a guest lecture on the Agricultural Business and Project Analysis course with speaker Rikko Sajjad Nuir, S.E., M.BA. as Chief Financial Officer of PT Inamas Sintesis Teknologi (INASTEK). This guest lecture carried Good Agricultural Practices in the IoT Utilization Approach as the theme and was moderated by Hariyani Dwi Anjani, S.P., M.Sc. (Lecturer in Agricultural Projects and Business Analysis Courses).
INASTEK operates in the fields of electromechanical, electronics & IoT, as well as mid-mass production. Rikko Sajjad Nuir, S.E., M.BA. showed various tools that PT INASTEK successfully created in utilizing IoT, including Mini Smart Hydroponics which can measure plant needs, Amanda Controller Tool which can record data, and Growing Light to substitute sunlight. In 2023, Strawberry Indoor Farming is being developed to make strawberries bigger and sweeter using the Amanda Controller. All tools developed by PT INASTEK aim to make agriculture have added value (smart farming). Even though no one in the team has an agricultural background, through a long process and struggle, all of this has been created and will continue to be developed.
