ABSTRAK
Sektor pertanian mengonsumsi 70% air Indonesia, terutama dari komoditas padi. Pertanian organik dapat menjadi alternatif efisiensi air. Riset ini bertujuan untuk melakukan kajian jejak air komoditas padi organik yang meliputi perhitungan jejak air (operasional dan rantai pasok), valuasi ekonomi, analisis keberlanjutan multidimensi, hingga perumusan strategi dengan analisis SWOT. Berdasarkan perhitungan jejak air, pertanian padi organik dapat menghemat 52,8% jejak air karena eliminasi jejak air abu-abu dari bahan kimia berbahaya. Sementara itu, status keberlanjutan tergolong sangat berkelanjutan untuk dimensi lingkungan, cukup berkelanjutan untuk dimensi sosial, namun dimensi sosial dinilai kurang berkelanjutan karena tidak tersedianya pasar bagi komoditas padi organik. Harga jual yang lebih tinggi dan biaya produksi yang relatif rendah menyebabkan valuasi ekonomi pertanian padi organik lebih tinggi dibandingkan pertanian padi konvensional, sehingga harga padi organik dapat ditekan. Rumah Mikroorganisme Lokal sebagai konsep pemberdayaan komunitas sosial menjadi strategi berbasis turn around yang ditawarkan untuk mengoptimalkan pertanian organik dalam perwujudan pertanian berkelanjutan.

ABSTRACT
Agricultural sector takes up to 70% to Indonesia water consumption, with rice as the highest. Organic farming comes up as an alternative for water efficiency. This research aims to assess water footprint of organic rice commodity, covering water footprint calculation (operational and supply chain), economic valuation, multidimensional sustainability analysis, and strategy conceptualization through SWOT analysis. According to water footprint calculation, organic rice farming saves 52.8% of water footprint due to elimination of gray water footprint as water polluted due to dangerous chemical used. Meanwhile, sustainability status is categorized as very sustainable for environment, fairly sustainable for social, meanwhile the economic is still less sustainable due to the limitation in market availability of organic rice. The higher selling price and lower production cost make the economic valuation of organic rice farming higher than the conventional. Therefore, the organic rice selling price should be lowered. Rumah Mikroorganisme Lokal as a concept of social community engagement is developed as turn around based strategy to optimize organic farming in achieving sustainable agriculture.
