Scheduled Activities and farming at home in the pandemic era

By Prof. I Gede Putu Wirawan

               Staying active, staying healthy, and having fun in this pandemic era is not an easy thing to do. After months of staying at home only with activities that are made minimalist, of course there is a sense of boredom, frustration, and a desire to get away from this kind of situation. In the midst of these limitations, we must always strive to find various activities that are safe and remain productive and are clever in interpreting these activities as joyous as our activities before the pandemic atmosphere, only the location is moved to our home. Only an activity that is interpreted with a happy heart will keep us excited and stay healthy. Of course, by still implementing good and orderly health protocols.

            The days that we pass we still do with scheduled morning, afternoon, evening, and night. With a schedule we will always try to stick to it - finish it and every success in completing work is interpreted as a success and a joy and raises new hope. While there is always hope we will always try well because hope is what leads us to actively live the days that we pass. Don't let the days go by without meaning and meaningless because it will make life feel lonely, lonely and empty.

            Agriculture provides various alternative choices for activities at home, especially for those who already have a steady income and take advantage of sports time and leisure time with farming activities at home only. Urban farming systems are very well implemented at home in the yard or the remaining land that can be used. Urban farming systems such as pot farming systems - fruit plants in pots, hydroponics with a vertical system for small vegetables and fruit plants such as strawberries, or if you have more capital by applying a plant factory system, where in this system we farm indoors in a vertical system with hydroponic patterns and temperature, humidity, and light are adjusted according to the needs of the plants and regulated by a computer system.

            There are many choices of urban agricultural activities that can be done on the sidelines of our routine activities by utilizing the narrow land. At least we can fulfill our daily food needs such as chilies, vegetables, eggplant, fruit, and others from our homes and even if they can develop properly, they can become commercial activities by utilizing digital technology that has become widespread in this provision. Come on, try it together.
