Abstract

Donowarih village, located in Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia, is closed to the Universitas Brawijaya’s Educational Forest (known as UB Forest). The village has various potential local commodities such as orange fruits and batik. During harvesting season, the price of orange fruits declined, and inadequate storage system has led to a rapid deterioration of orange fruits. Furthermore, various problems faced by the community, such as poverty and lack of knowledge/skills, are becoming the major challenges to be tackled. On the other hand, orange fruits and batik are potential to be diversified into high value-added products, which can be done through the introduction of post-harvesting technology and trainings for skills improvement. Furthermore, the Indonesian Government program of one village one product (OVOP) is becoming key drivers to any community engagement program in Indonesia.

Abstract

Malaysia faces significant challenges in food waste management, with approximately 8,000 tons of food waste generated daily, only 5% of which is treated. To address this issue, the "Doktor Mengabdi Pengembangan Kemitraan" and "KKN Tematik" programs introduced Black Soldier Fly (BSF)-based organic waste management in Tanjung Karang and Taman Dato’ Harun, Selangor. The program included socialization, BSF cage fabrication, and hands-on training on maggot cultivation. BSF larvae degrade organic waste and produce residue (kasgot) for use as organic fertilizer, while larvae can be processed into animal feed, such as dried maggots. Pre- and post-tests revealed significant knowledge gains: 60.84% in Tanjung Karang and 45.23% in Taman Dato’ Harun. Monitoring showed successful community adoption of BSF cultivation. This initiative not only addresses food waste management but also provides economic opportunities and supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG 13: Climate Action).

Abstract

Boyolali Regency, home to approximately 62,000 dairy cows, faces significant challenges related to the management of cow manure. To address this, the Boyolali Regency Government has introduced biogas digester technology to process cow manure, converting it into biogas for energy and digestate for fertilizer. This study evaluates the effectiveness of training, mentoring, and biogas digesters in enhancing the management of manure. The evaluation involves surveys, pre- and post-tests, and interviews with 160 participants, including 20 digester recipients from 2023 and 2024. Results indicate substantial improvements in participants' knowledge of biogas technology, with increases of 87.83% and 86.27% for 2023 and 2024 recipients, respectively. The study also highlights the environmental, economic, and social impacts of the program, including reduced methane emissions, cost savings, and enhanced soil fertility. Overall, the program has contributed to achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), particularly in renewable energy, waste management, and sustainable agriculture.
