Development of Community-Based Urban Farming to Support Food Security and Environmental Sustainability in Residential Areas

2026-09-16T01:12:37+00:00

The expansion of urban residential areas has reduced the availability of land for food production and increased household dependence on external food supplies. This situation is also evident in Perumahan Pondok Tandala Kawalu, Tasikmalaya City, a partner community under the 2026 PPBM Community Service Program. Household yards and public spaces in the area have not been optimally utilized, while household organic waste management remains limited. These conditions have adversely affected household food security and the environmental quality of the residential area. This program aimed to develop community-based urban farming as an approach to strengthening household food security while promoting sustainable environmental management. A participatory community empowerment approach was adopted by integrating simple and appropriate technologies. The program was implemented through extension activities, training, and continuous mentoring. Its main activities included community outreach, training in crop cultivation using polybags and vertical gardening systems, the introduction of household composting technology for organic waste processing, and program monitoring and evaluation. The program also facilitated the establishment of an urban farming community named the Tandala Hijau Lestari Farmers’ Group to sustain activities at the community level and encourage their replication in other residential areas. Overall, the extension and training activities received positive responses and appreciation from the participants, who expressed their commitment to applying the knowledge and skills acquired at both household and group levels. The program also generated socioeconomic benefits by strengthening psychological, organizational, and human assets. The expected outputs include an article published in an ISSN-registered scientific journal, publication in print media, intellectual property rights, a video, and a poster.

Coffee Waste to Bioresources: Empowering Community Forestry Farmers through Coffee Husk Biocompost and Eco-Enzyme Production

2026-09-16T01:11:40+00:00

Coffee processing in community forestry landscapes generates substantial coffee-husk residues that are often underused despite their potential as locally available agricultural inputs. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen the capacity of GAPOKTAN Maju Jaya in Tanjung Dalam Village, Rejang Lebong, Bengkulu, to convert coffee husks into biocompost and eco-enzyme and to initiate a circular coffee-waste management system. The program was implemented from April to August 2026 using a participatory approach involving coordination, education, hands-on production, technology application, mentoring, and monitoring. Twenty participants completed a 35-item pre-test and post-test covering knowledge, skills, environmental cleanliness, economic potential, and group service/self-reliance. Participants also practiced biocompost production using a simple aerated reactor and eco-enzyme fermentation using 60-120 L drums. The overall empowerment score increased from 59.4% to 80.6%. Knowledge increased from 56.8% to 81.5%, skills from 49.6% to 76.8%, environmental cleanliness from 65.6% to 82.6%, economic potential from 63.4% to 80.4%, and group service/self-reliance from 61.6% to 83.2%. The largest gain occurred in skills (27.2 percentage points), and all 20 participants recorded higher post-test scores. Biocompost was produced, eco-enzyme fermentation was initiated, and simple processing facilities were adopted by the partner group. The program demonstrates that combining practical technology transfer with group-based participation can reposition coffee husks from production residues into useful bio-resources. Continued monitoring is required to verify product use, cost savings, and the long-term institutionalization of the system.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) at school is an important foundation for establishing healthy habits from school age. This community service activity aimed to strengthen fifth-grade students’ understanding and skills regarding PHBS, with an emphasis on handwashing with soap. The activity was conducted at SDN Kubang Kemanisan, Serang, involving 29 fifth-grade students. Preparation was carried out on 13–18 July 2026 and included coordination, material development, selection of interactive videos, preparation of educational media, and team task allocation. Implementation and evaluation were conducted on 20 July 2026 through participatory education using interactive videos, question-and-answer sessions, demonstrations, and direct handwashing practice. Evaluation used a simple pretest and posttest to identify students’ understanding, accompanied by observation of participation and practice. At pretest, 6 of 29 students (20.7%) were categorized as understanding the material; at posttest, this increased to 27 students (93.1%), representing an increase of 21 students or 72.4 percentage points. Activity documentation also showed active participation during discussions, demonstrations, and handwashing practice. Combining audiovisual media with demonstration offers a concrete learning experience appropriate for school-aged children. This activity indicates that interactive video-based PHBS education combined with hands-on practice is feasible as a school health promotion strategy. Continuous reinforcement by teachers and adequate handwashing facilities are required to support the development of sustained habits.

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum demands a shift toward deep learning; however, teachers at SD Laboratorium UM Blitar City faced challenges in systematically integrating local wisdom into teaching modules. This community service project aimed to enhance teachers' pedagogical capacity through the development of Blitar culture-based teaching modules using the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach. The method employed was the Participatory Action Learning System (PALS) with an "In-On-In" training model involving 26 target teachers over eight months. Activities included needs analysis, workshops, the development of Blitar culture-integrated instructional tools (such as Bung Karno's Tomb, Jaranan Tril, and Penataran Temple), and clinical supervision via sit-in observation. The evaluation results demonstrated a significant increase in teacher understanding of deep learning-based CRT, rising from a pre-test average of 45.2% to 89.6% on the post-test (high N-gain category). The developed instructional tools achieved an average feasibility score of 88.5% (highly feasible) and improved classroom management quality by up to 90%. This program proved effective in transforming teacher competence to design mindful, joyful, and meaningful learning while supporting the achievement of SDG 4.

Processing And Application Of Rice Straw Liquid Smoke For Pest And Disease Control In Sri-Method Rice Cultivation By The Lestari Farmer Group Lubuklinggau City

2026-09-14T07:53:35+00:00

A community service initiative focused on the production and application of rice straw liquid smoke for pest and disease control in SRI-method rice cultivation was conducted with the Lestari Farmer Group in Lubuklinggau City. The project was initiated following field surveys and discussions between the community service team and the farmer group. Observations revealed issues regarding rice straw waste which was typically burned in the fields and rice crop pests. The initiative aimed to introduce the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method, promote eco-friendly technology, utilize rice straw waste to produce liquid smoke, and plant refugia crops for integrated pest and disease management. These efforts sought to achieve healthy rice production, environmental sustainability, and safe-to-consume products. The project partner was the Lestari Farmer Group, located in Karang Ketuan Urban Village, South Lubuklinggau II District, Lubuklinggau City, South Sumatra. The implementation strategy involved field observations, the design of liquid smoke production equipment, extension services and training using the Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) approach, and ongoing mentoring. Results indicate that participating community members successfully adopted and applied these practices on their farms, demonstrating increased knowledge and skills regarding eco-friendly rice cultivation.

Calculation of Production Cost Using the Full Costing Method In the Conversion Cycle of Opak Sukadalem Umkm In the Era of Microeconomic Digitalization

2026-09-14T08:46:38+00:00

Precise calculation of the Cost of Goods Manufactured (COGM) is a crucial foundation for the financial resilience of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the microeconomy digitalization era. Most traditional food processing MSMEs still ignore fixed Factory Overhead Costs (FOC) and rely on estimation methods, which potentially triggers pricing distortion (underpricing or overpricing). This Community Service activity aims to assist and educate the Opak Sukadalem MSME partner in Sukadalem Village in reconstructing the COGM calculation process based on the Full Costing method across its conversion cycle. The implementation method utilized Participatory Action Research through four stages: field observation, cost reconstruction, digital COGM worksheet training/implementation, and partner capacity evaluation. The results showed that the Full Costing calculation yielded a real COGM of IDR 4,230 per pack (250 grams) from a total production cost of IDR 846,000 per cycle (output of 200 packs). This figure optimized the partner's initial estimate of IDR 5,200 per pack, which experienced overestimation due to the absence of a structured allocation for overhead costs and auxiliary materials. With a standardized selling price adjustment of IDR 8,000 per pack based on digital standing pouch packaging improvements, the partner's real gross profit margin increased from 25.7% to 47.1% (a 109.4% profitability increase per cycle). The N-Gain score evaluation of 0.72 confirms that this mentoring program is highly effective in improving the partner's cost accounting literacy and independence.

Circular Economy Based Community Empowerment through the Eco Circle Center Programme to Strengthen Waste Management and Microenterprises in Bengkulu City

2026-09-23T00:24:19+00:00

Household waste management and limited community enterprise capacity require mentoring that connects institutional development, skills, and operational infrastructure. This article describes the implementation of the Eco Circle Center Programme with TPS3R Sumber Jaya and the Serawai Jaya microenterprise group in Bengkulu City. The programme adopted a participatory approach comprising needs mapping, joint planning, institutional strengthening, training, infrastructure provision, mentoring, and evaluation. Findings were presented descriptively using observations, partner discussions, and programme documentation. TPS3R reportedly served two neighbourhood units with seven active members, diverted approximately 1–1.5 tonnes of waste per week from landfill, handled approximately 100 kg of plastic waste per week, and produced approximately 100 kg of compost per week. The microenterprise group had nine active members, produced approximately 250 packages per week, developed 16 food product varieties, and reported monthly turnover of approximately IDR 7,000,000. Reported social changes included source separation, clearer organisational roles, and coordination with local government. These findings indicate development in the capacities of both partner groups, but do not establish causal effectiveness because baseline data and measurement periods are insufficiently specified. Programme continuity requires consistent waste separation, infrastructure maintenance, operational and financial records, and stronger marketing for the microenterprise group.

Collaborative Development of a Circular Economy Model through Bamboo Sawdust Utilisation for Oyster Mushroom Cultivation

2026-09-23T00:33:24+00:00

Bamboo sawdust generated by bamboo processing in Banu Ayu Village has potential as a substrate for oyster mushroom cultivation. This activity aimed to describe the development of a circular economy model through collaboration among PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Fuel Terminal Baturaja, the Faculty of Agriculture at Baturaja University, students, and the community. Activities took place at the faculty’s research garden using a descriptive approach supported by cultivation practice. The stages comprised material identification, substrate formulation and bagging, heat treatment, inoculation, incubation, maintenance, and harvesting. Photographic documentation shows substrate preparation, mycelial growth, fruiting body development, and stakeholder involvement. Reported parameters included a baglog success rate of at least 85% and yields of 0.6–0.8 kg per baglog over 3–4 months with 4–6 flushes. These figures require confirmation as measured outcomes or technical benchmarks because baglog counts and harvest records were not specified. The proposed model connects bamboo sawdust utilisation, mushroom production as an economic output, and the planned use of spent substrate as a material for organic fertiliser. The activity indicates potential for waste utilisation and collaborative learning but does not establish increased household income or a zero-waste system. Further development requires standardised formulations, cultivation records, spent-substrate assessment, and evaluation of community benefits.
