Abstract

Tilapia fish cultivation using the biofloc system in Paccerakkang Village, Makassar City, utilizes tarpaulin ponds to efficiently manage costs and ensure water quality. These ponds are portable, maintain stable temperatures, and offer easier tilapia management than traditional cement ponds. However, farmers face challenges such as limited knowledge and skills in biofloc-based tilapia farming, improper cultivation practices, and inadequate financial management. To address these issues, a community service initiative was implemented, focusing on training, counseling, and guidance in biofloc tilapia farming. The training aimed to enhance participants' understanding of proper seed selection, water quality management, disease prevention, and efficient financial record-keeping. The biofloc system, which transforms fish waste into natural feed through probiotic action, was highlighted as an effective cultivation method. The activity provided hands-on learning and support in the preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages of tilapia farming. As a result, participants gained knowledge and improved practices, leading to better fish growth and increased income. Harvested tilapia are either sold to collectors or consumed by the farmers. This training significantly boosted local participation in biofloc-based tilapia farming and contributed to enhanced community livelihoods

Abstract

This research aims to empower mosque youth in Parangbanoa Village, Palangga District, Gowa Regency, in optimizing the use of existing natural resources, especially banana trees, through cultivating, processing and marketing banana-based snacks. Parangbanoa Village has natural potential in the form of abundant banana plants, but it has not been utilized optimally by the community, especially the mosque youth, in creating products of economic value. For this reason, training and mentoring activities are carried out involving mosque youth in the process of cultivating good bananas, processing bananas into snacks such as banana chips, banana cake and banana pudding, as well as effective marketing strategies to increase product competitiveness. The method used in this research is Mentoring and Empowering through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, where mosque youth are directly involved in every stage of the activity. The results of the activity show that mosque youth are increasingly skilled in processing bananas into various snack products which have good market potential. Apart from that, they also gain new knowledge about marketing techniques that can be used to introduce their products to a wider market. Through this program, it is hoped that mosque youth in Parangbanoa Village can improve the family economy, create new jobs, and make bananas a superior commodity that can be processed into high-value products.
