The Panderman Forest Farmers Group is one of the groups that has succeeded in becoming an example of an indigenous community that can use technology to advance itself. This article aims to determine the use of applied technology, information and communication technology in the panderman forest farmer group. Data were collected by conducting in-person observations, in-depth interviews, and group forums with key informants. Interviews were conducted with twentyfive respondents, namely fifteen members of the panderman forest farmer group, five members of village institutions and five employees of related government agencies. The processing of the interview results was carried out using the help of Atlas. Ti application version 9, and the interview was carried out using the help of a voice recording tool. Data was collected from February 2021 to October 2022. The results of the study show that the panderman forest farmer group has made good use of agroforestry technology. There are three leading commodities that are produced and processed using technology, namely eucalyptus (Melaleuca Leucadendra) which is processed into essential oil, porang (Amorphophallus muelleri) processed into meatballs, Bees (Anthophila) produces processed honey. Marketing is also carried out through the use of information and communication technology, namely through cellphones and internet networks that are marketed in e-commerce directly. The use of this technology is an illustration of the group's success in carrying out empowerment.
