The majority of people in Jorong Sawah Ampang are farmers; most people in Sawah Ampang are members of farmer groups. Although most people in Jorong Sawah Ampang are farmers, many people are not familiar with family medicinal plants, hereinafter referred to as TOGA, which have benefits as spices or cooking ingredients, but can also be used as an alternative to maintain and treat health naturally without side effects such as plants such as kencur, ginger, turmeric, and betel. Therefore, one way to preserve the cultural wisdom of medicinal plants in Nagari Muaro Paneh, especially in Jorong Sawah Ampang, is through socialization.

The community knows the beneficial use of planting these plants. They also know their economic value and safety level. This is the real result of the socialization program of this activity.
