Founded on April 27, 1987 under West Nusa Tenggara Governor Decree No. 105, Perkumpulan YLKMP (Yaksa Lumbung Kemanusiaan Masyarakat Pedesaan) has dedicated nearly four decades to grassroots resilience across North Lombok.
Rooted in the post-earthquake mutual assistance of 1979 in Todo Bentek, our work is guided by the egalitarian tradition of the Berugaq—an open communal platform where village elders, women artisans, smallholder farmers, and youth deliberate collectively to protect their common heritage and direct their own future.
Autonomous civil society organization operating under Indonesian non-profit association law and provincial decree since 1987.
Field facilitators reside directly in agrarian and coastal villages, co-designing initiatives through participatory action research.
Financial stewardship and program results are deliberated publicly in village assemblies and certified by accredited external auditors.
Ecosystems do not operate in isolation. Ecological health in the Rinjani headwaters directly governs water availability in the agrarian valleys, which in turn protects coastal coral reefs and secures community livelihoods.
The upstream slopes of Mount Rinjani form the primary hydrological catchment for the entire island. YLKMP collaborates with Krama Adat communities to enforce traditional Awig-Awig customary conservation laws, preventing illegal logging and surveying recharge zones for 47 documented vital springs.
The agrarian midlands are home to smallholder farmers and customary villages. YLKMP facilitates farmer field schools, organic fertilizer multiplication, and communal grain banks (Lumbung Tanak Umbara), preserving native rice varieties without reliance on chemical inputs.
Where watersheds meet the Lombok Strait, YLKMP champions sustainable small-scale fishing, mangrove buffer restoration, and fair-trade market access for rural women weavers. Every intervention is backed by full donor accountability and open financial reporting.
Initiatives designed and implemented alongside customary village councils, farmer collectives, and women artisans across North Lombok.

Pengembangan terhadap hasil sekolah lapang yang telah di kerjakan selama 8 bulan yang di dukung oleh Penabulu
Pertanian merupakan sektor vital di Desa Pendua, Lombok Utara, di mana 80% penduduknya menggantungkan hidup pada sektor ini. Namun, penurunan debit air dan degradasi tanah akibat ketergantungan pupuk kimia telah memicu menurunnya hasil panen hingga 4.5 ton per tahun, sehingga memicu ancaman krisis pangan, serta perubahan fungsi lahan sedang berlangsung menjadi lahan perkebunan. Sebagai bentuk keberlanjutan program ketahanan pangan yang dilakukan oleh YLKMP di Desa Pendua, inisiatif ini dirancang untuk memulihkan ekosistem lahan, melalui 3 kegiatan utama: 1) pembenihan mandiri untuk menyeleksi dan mengonservasi varietas pangan lokal unggul (seperti sorgum) yang tahan cuaca ekstrem; 2) pembibitan terstruktur guna menyediakan bibit berkualitas sebelum dipindah tanam; serta 3) pengolahan pupuk organik (padat dan cair), dan pestisida nabati, berbasis pada optimalisasi limbah peternakan sapi dan ayam yang tersebar di Desa Pendua, Kecamatan Kayangan, Kabupaten Lombok Utara. Pengelolaan ini secara terpadu dilakukan di bawah inisiatif warga yaitu lumbung pangan desa "Tanak Umbara Berkah", program ini ditargetkan mampu memulihkan kesuburan tanah, menjamin ketersediaan benih lokal berkelanjutan, pemenuhan pasokan cadangan pangan masa krisis, serta memperkuat ekonomi sirkular masyarakat di Desa Pendua.
Documentary records, participatory agrarian research, and oral histories gathered directly from village meetings, customary forests, and coastal fishing fleets.

Perkumpulan YLKMP NTB bekerja sama dengan Yayasan Penabulu menggelar Pelatihan Diversifikasi Tanaman dan Pengendalian Hama Terpadu (PHT) Organik pada 24–25 Agustus 2026 di Sekolah Lapang Dusun Sentul, Desa Pendua, Lombok Utara. Diikuti 28 perwakilan petani dari Lumbung Pangan Desa "Tanak Umbara Berkah", P3A, Gapoktan, Poktan, hingga KWT, inisiatif ini dirancang untuk memperkuat kedaulatan pangan berbasis kearifan lokal, menerapkan pola tanam adaptif iklim, menekan food loss, serta membangun sistem pangan rendah karbon.
