Abstract

The economic sector is one of the areas that has experienced a decline as a result of global conflicts. In response to this issue, Universitas Bengkulu has undertaken efforts to support community economic empowerment. It is expected that these community service activities will contribute to improving the economic capacity of local communities. One of the initiatives implemented involves the socialization, cultivation, and marketing of organic vegetables. This program aims to promote healthier lifestyles through the consumption of organic produce. In addition to the health benefits, the use of non-pesticide fertilizers can be obtained at no cost from locally available livestock manure (organic compost). Furthermore, this initiative encourages community members to engage in vegetable cultivation, as the harvest can be utilized to meet daily household needs, thereby reducing expenditures amid rising prices of essential goods. Surplus produce can also be sold, providing an additional source of income for the community.
