3. Poverty is bad, not only because it restricts
people’s choices and their ability to participate
in society, but also because, over time, it
produces other bad effects on them, on their
children and on society as a whole.

8. SOLUTION

9. Social capital is good will, fellowship, mutual sympathy, and social
intercourse among a group of individuals and families who make up a social
unit.

10. Social Capital has been shown to extend
collective well being in a variety of ways. The
quantity and quality of social capital plays a
crucial role in a community’s resilience; its
ability to solve problems, act for the future and
participate in decreasing of poverty

11. •Involvement and participation in groups
can have positive consequences for the
individual and the community (Portes,
1998)
•Networks of relationships, defining it as
resources embedded in one’s social
networks, resources that can be accessed
or mobilized through ties in the networks
(Lin, 2001)
•The features of social organizations, such
as networks, norms, and trust that facilitate
action and cooperation for mutual benefit.
(Putnam, 1993)

13. How can Social Capital
reduce Poverty
 Promotes social interaction and associations between heterogeneous
groups of people, i.e., between people and groups across the usual
social divides
 Social capital is understood to be an essential ingredient in not only
building strong societies but in building strong economies as well
 Social capital also tends to cumulate when it is used, and be
depleted when not and, thus, creating the possibility of both virtuous
and vicious cycles that manifest themselves in highly civic and
uncivic communities
 Social capital at the community level increases with increases with
frequency of interaction
 Leads to improved coordination and communication which, in turn,
facilitates increased mutual trust and willingness to cooperate in
future activities or in new area

14. Development of Social Capital by
triggering Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable agriculture encompasses many
different production methods, systems, and
approaches that aim to meet the goals of
profitability, stewardship, and quality of life.
One of those approaches, but by no means
the only one, is organic farming.

15. Why Go Community-Based
Organic Farming
 Organic agriculture, while small in total output
relative to other types of farming, creates
more jobs per farm.
 Organic farming utilizes natural fertility and
human labor more than manufactured inputs
to produce value.
Urge of Development

16. Is it POSSIBLE? YES!
As long it contains of Fair Trade
Probably the best-known ethical food branding after organic
is fair trade. In brief, fair trade labeled products generally
have the following criteria:
 Fair price for the farmers
 Fair labor conditions for workers
 Direct trade relationships between growers, processors, and
retailers (no speculative intermediate buyers)
 Democratic and transparent organization of grower
organizations
 Community development and investment
 Environmental sustainability
