presently provide the financing of investment projects using a crowdsourcing platform

facilitated by securities brokers, thereby simplifying the investment model. Funding
platforms for projects of this nature are executed by furnishing comprehensive and

transparent information. This enables prospective investors and lenders, who express
interest in the investment project, to make informed decisions, mitigate potential

losses, and stimulate their inclination to seize investment prospects.
The Pinrang food security investment program aims to enhance investment in

agricultural production and maintain land fertility. This idea, proposed by Bumb &

Baanante (2020), has been well-received by the Regional Government of Pinrang Re-
gency. They view it as a means to develop the agricultural industrial area and contrib-

ute to city design development (Fu & Ng, 2020). The ultimate goal is to improve the
well-being of farmers and the entire Pinrang community (Green, 2020). To success-

fully carry out the investment project, it is crucial to have policy support that enables

the essential steps to be taken about water, energy, and food management. This sup-
port should come from the local government and provide an opportunity for execution

(Purwanto, 2021).

2.5. Demonstration Plots

To implement the investment program, it is necessary to carry out demonstra-
tion plots (demplots) that serve as examples of using organic fertilizers, such as the

research conducted by Arafah (Arafah, 2011). This aims to increase agricultural pro-
duction by 40 percent (Yomari International, 2021) through plantation activities planned

for the upcoming season. The rationale behind this is twofold: firstly, to achieve an
increase in agricultural productio, it is necessary to either increase the difference in

production compared to the previous period or maintain the same production level but

with a higher increase in price (PPL Disperta Bojonegoro, 2018). The current objective
of agricultural production is to enhance farmers' income by increasing production. Fur-

thermore, to promote fluctuations in rice prices among farmers during the ongoing har-
vest season, it is advisable to implement a warehouse receipt system, provided that it

does not disrupt the harvest timing and decreases prices (Balkrishna, et al., 2022).

Furthermore, to incentivize changes in the behavior of farmers when their in-
come increases, particularly after the harvest, they refrain from purchasing consuma-

ble goods (Green, 2020). Instead, they allocate more of their income towards depleting
