What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in agricultural practices and supports local farmers.

I am a dedicated professional in forage and pasture science, with a strong commitment to enhancing livestock nutrition through innovative soil and crop management practices. My journey began at Universitas Gadjah Mada, where I earned my Bachelor of Animal Science and Industry, focusing on forage research. My thesis explored the productivity and nutrient content of alfalfa, showcasing my dedication to advancing agricultural practices.

In my role as an Agriculture Extension Officer, I successfully led seminars that educated local farmers on effective feeding strategies, significantly improving livestock productivity. I have also collaborated with various farms on sustainable forage cultivation projects, demonstrating my ability to implement research-based solutions in real-world settings. My goal is to establish a Forage Research Center in Indonesia, providing essential resources to local farmers, particularly in the dairy and goat industries.
