FERU

RY

outh is the days of when we are very energic. A tim e when

all feels beautiful and pleasing. Even though, sometimes often attacked a storm of sadness , but youth, those with unlimited vigor to do som ething. Something that is great . Something that could bring a change.

The Agriculture is a very important topic to be discussed . However, for som e reason this topic become taboo today. The formerly taboo topics to be discussed, just call it sex, even more often discussed in the media any time, everywhere. Detik.com has wollipop which is special to discusses sex, love, and it's sub-topic. Kaskus, the largest indonesian forum does not have a sub-forum dedicated to agriculture. Ironic.

Then what is the relation of youth and agriculture? If I were told to answer that question now, the youth+agriculture = tacky. Youth who is engaged in the field of agriculture is considered as a young man that tacky. If we heard agriculture, the things in our mind are about hoeing, rice paddies, farmers, and all words w hich is encapsulated as a word, tacky.

The effects, devotee for lecture course that concerns the field of agriculture are not much as technology, medicine, economics, etc. The less devotee make less competition, the less com petition will rarely give birth to a new hero. In this context the agricultural hero. But as w e all know, agriculture is not trivial, it is fundamental to human life. Even Sukarno had m entioned in his speech “Saoedara-saoedara, soal persediaan makanan rakjat ini, bagi kita adalah soal hidoep ataoe mati. Tjamkan, sekali lagi tjamkan, kalaoe kita tidak

“ampakkan” soal makanan rakjat ini setjara besar-besaran, setjara radikal dan revoloesioner, kita akan mengalami tjelaka…”.

Then, what exactly is the master puppet of all? The answ er is simple, we are undergoing degradation of loving agriculture. W e all know no one person in this world that can describe what love is. Love is so abstract. How ever, one thing about loving som ething is we will do everything for whom we love. W e will be staying out nights to simply say happy birthday, drop off and pick her/him up, etc. That's love.

Imagine if we love agriculture. We are going to desperately learn PIP compared to other subjects, when eating rem ember agriculture, when going to bed we can not sleep because agriculture. There is no second missed without agriculture. As a result, more and more discussions about agriculture, new s on television will continue to broadcast farm, more and more parents who support their children to enter the Department of agriculture, m ore and more agricultural students, farming heroes. And finally, Indonesia will be known as exporter agricultural commodity. Amin.

But funny if just me and you that read this essay w ho love agriculture, like Kahitna love song, “Cinta Sendiri”. Therefore w e should open up thousands of youth eyes out there to love agriculture together. 1000 Coco stick more difficult to be broken than if just 1, right? A movem ent of loving agriculture must be grounded in the youth.

The next question is, how we gonna make it?

I do not know. But I've described above, the im age of agriculture in the eyes of youth is tacky. So how do we change it all. Perhaps we need to know the tastes of youth today, what is the trend. A small example that was booming in the air of youth is twitter. W ho would not have twitter now ? Twitter became the most powerful media to

communicate, once w e update status hundreds of our follow ers will know. The addiction for twitter beat the addiction to the people w ho take drugs. W hy do we not try to create a twitter account about movement for loving agriculture. @ poconggg just can invite 1,6 million his followers to “galau” in congregation, we could be doing the sam e thing for agriculture. For Sure.

The next trend is money. Not a trend indeed, but we all need it. So the youth. Unfortunately, when we talk about money , agriculture not the right thing because in the eyes of them, agriculture is not a thing that promises to generate a lot of money. W e know, they are wrong. It is precisely in the field of agricultural business which will always survive. The human need to eat every day, and if no one is going to works on agriculture, w hat will the people eat? As its slogan from ITP, “Feed The W orld”.

Just two examples of it, but that's what's really happening now. So, what the Youth M ovem ent for Environment Sustainability toSupport Agriculture Development? The answer is brief, love. It’s all about how we love agriculture. How can we start the movem ent but we do not learn to love it first? Loving agriculture movem ents become the answer to this loving degradation. Don't need to think of anything to develop agriculture yet, just get everyone else to love agriculture. They who already in love w ith agriculture, will think the way to develop it. It will bring up new ideas for sure. This movem ent will be a candle that is ready to ignite other candles forward.

Then , at some point w e going to change the formula

youth + agriculture = tacky , become

youth + agriculture = love . Goodbye degradation of loving agriculture. W elcom e, i love agriculture ! !

Unfortunately, none of

CCNC could attend, so, the

monitoring reports of

CCNC were sent via email

and read alternately by a

representative of each LC.

@titistus (ND 2011/2012),

@Anggara2912 (VD

Finance 2011/2012),

@masamukti (VD

Exchange 2011/2012), and

@dewa_rahyang (VD

Communication

2011/2012) were still

being able to perform

’unify the hand’ ritual

together before

determining their report

accepted or not..

"The forum state

accepted ...

conditionally. :p "

The next agenda was set

of UGM as Natcon 2013

host. However, if within

one month forward UGM

states unable to be the

host, then it belongs to

the IPB.

Next, preparation of

After it finished, the next

session will be led by the

Election Committee who

had elected before,

@agathakinanthi,

@desinjez, and Asusti. The

next agenda (that has

been awaited by all of the

delegates) was the

presentation and

determination of NC and

CCNC 2012/2013. The

candidate leaders of

@IAAS_Indonesia

displayed in front of the

forum. We was sure, the

eyes of the delegates

dazzled at that time. The

candidates were

@diaserfan and @elvira_ch

as ND candidate,

@annisabebek

@ari_knowles and

@calistakezia as VDC

candidate, @naddiaelsa

@randy_sugarface and

Khusnul Khotimah as VDE

candidate. Presentation

and question and answer

session was last so long

time, so at 03.00 am the

session should be

suspended.

4 hours after the break,

delegates re-assembled in

the courtroom and the

session started at 07.00.

The closed discussion

about ND 2012/2013

began. In a fairly tough

session, the forum agreed

and the elected new NC

are....

National Director:

@elvira_ch

Vice Director of

Communication:

@annisabebek

Vice Director Exchange:

Khusnul Khotimah

Vice Director of

Partnership:

@randy_sugarface

Vice Director of

Finance: @calistakezia

After the determination of

Control Council National

Committe (CCNC), the

forum agreed that

@Anggara2912,

@dewa_rahyang and

@au_lola as the new CCNC

The next agenda was

discussion of IAAS Art

Festival (IAF) that

planned will be held by

@IAAS_UNS and

@IaasUndip this year.

However, with various

considerations, finally the

forum agreed not to hold

IAF in Indonesia. The

atmosphere of the session

which very frozen, melted

by @doddyhollic attractive

presentation about

alumnie board @iaasipb.

Then all delegates were

invited to go into a line

that has been provided in

the BOS II agenda. There

were exchange, finance,

communication, and

partnership. Each line was

guided by the each Vice

Director. The elected NC

socialized their next one

year working programs

after receiving

recommendation from

BOS II.

The next agenda became

livelier after @iaasipb

proposed a

reconsideration of IAF. For

XVII National Congress

the the good name of

@IAAS_Indonesia, finally

the forum agreed and

elected @IaasUndip and

@iaaslcugm as the host.

But there is little change

of the name, from IAF to

ISAF(IAAS Scientific and

Art Festival). About 00.00

am, the three-days-tiring-

session was officially

closed. Although it was

early days, the delegation

still had spirit to hold a

farewell party that

actually scheduled at

20.00. @iaasundip

delegates performed

amazingly although only

represented by a person

alone. The farewell party

winner was @IAAS_UB.

“Unforgetable night J”

In the morning we all

packed up and did

agendas that far from the

hot seat. We visited

Elementary School.

Unexpectedly, elementary

school children were very

enthusiastic about taking

a series of quizzes and

listening an explanation of

the environment that we

provide. The events in

elementary was finished

by the giving of tree

seedlings from

@IAAS_Indonesia.

After having fun with the

kids, we went to the

Kawah Putih. When we

got there, we had lunch

and ride the ontang-

anting. Although it was

raining, we were all still

excited to take pictures

in Kawah Putih area. We

didn’t know how much

sulfur that we breathe

there. On the schedule we

should be visiting

strawberry farm in

Ciwidey, but we didn't

because we've bought a

lot of strawberries in

Kawah Putih shop. Finally

we continued our trip to

Otto Iskandar Dinata to

buy typical souvenirs of

Bandung.

Overall @natconunpad

held attractively and the

foods were delicious!!

Hopefully National

Committee 2012/2013

can do their job well, and

next year's National

Congress will be more

interesting.

think globally, act

locally!
