Muhammad Ridha Gabriel has demonstrated that former sago peatland can be utilized to grow Lipa F1 bitter melon. In just two harvests, the yield increased from 17 kg to 70 kg, with fruits weighing 0.8–1 kg each. The plants are still producing, opening up new opportunities for utilizing former sago land for vegetable cultivation.

By consistently applying Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Antonius Renyaan successfully improved the production of his Amara F1 watermelon crop. His story demonstrates how proper cultivation practices can increase productivity while creating meaningful improvements in farmers' livelihoods.

In 2025, Yayasan Bina Tani Sejahtera (YBTS) utilized demonstration plots as critical instruments to prove that high-quality seeds and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) directly enhance farmer welfare. Assisting 3,382 farmers—including 72% youth and 30% women—the program achieved a 100% adoption rate of certified seeds and reduced pesticide costs for 62% of participants. These technical improvements led to an average daily income of Rp 60,083, with success stories like Donata Bangus earning Rp 25,022,000 over three seasons. Furthermore, innovations like Biochar increased bitter gourd yields by 80% while cutting fertilizer use by half.

Riswadi (Pak Huda), a farmer leader in Central Java, promotes sustainable farming through biochar innovation, improving sweet corn productivity while encouraging local farmers to adopt climate-smart practices.

A field visit in Sorong highlights how hands-on learning through demonstration plots and Learning Farms is helping smallholder farmers in Papua strengthen vegetable cultivation practices, improve productivity, and build more resilient livelihoods.

YBTS, in collaboration with the Buru District Agricultural Office, held a Farmers Field Day (FFD) at the Class III Namlea Correctional Facility to support inmate rehabilitation and self-reliance. The program provided hands-on learning on quality seeds, pest management, and proper crop care, equipping inmates with practical agricultural skills they can use both inside the facility and upon reentering society.
