Abstract

Integrated agricultural system is a management system (business) that combines agricultural components, such as plants, animals and fish in a unified whole. In addition to meeting the criteria for sustainable agricultural development, this system has a significant positive impact because it is organically based and developed/directed based on local potential (local resources). Warmadewa University offered a solution to the concept of integrated agricultural conservation starting from livestock and fisheries activities to post-harvest processing and encourage an entrepreneurial spirit in the younger generation. The engineering provided was an efficient technology resulting from research from professional agricultural experts that has been published in various journals. Among them are the development of organic cultivation and diversification using the SNT (System Nutrient Tank) method for exclusive vegetables, super local breed chicken farming in accordance with national poultry standards, fisheries with the concept of aquaponics (hydroponic system and poly culture system) and post-harvest processing of agricultural, livestock and fishery products, with the concept of food processing supporting local wisdom, all of which were integrated and with the concept of zero waste. The method used in this activity were delivering material, training, practice and mentoring to young people who are members of the partner, DUDI Tamiang Bali Mandiri Foundation in the Agro Learning Center (ALC) group. These youth were given integrated agricultural knowledge as well as fisheries and animal husbandry and the processing of agricultural products with the concept of "zero waste" based on Tri Hita Karana (Balinese local wisdom). There were 5 activities in this program. The output of Unwar's Matching Fund activities with the Industrial World was a young generation who are competent and have competency certificates from the Professional Certification Institute through the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP) for 8 people, and integrated agricultural training certificates for 25 people, so they are ready to be independent or work competent in agriculture. Other outputs were Activity Books and Standard Operation Procedure Books, IPRs, Modules, Product Launches, News in the Bali Post Newspaper, Product Exhibitions, Video activities, each targeted at one achievement target.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance the added value of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) through the development of kombucha as a functional beverage while empowering the GAPOKWATAN Lumbung Rasa women farmers’ group in Pitra Village, Bali. Prior to the intervention, roselle utilization was limited to dried tea production with low economic value, constrained by limited knowledge, technology, and market access. The program introduced appropriate postharvest technologies, including training in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP), fermentation using Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY), and product packaging and labeling. Members were also supported with fermentation and packaging equipment to standardize production. Pre- and post-program assessments revealed substantial improvements: hygienic processing increased from 30% to 80%, fermentation skills from 20% to 75%, packaging quality from 25% to 70%, technology adoption from 15% to 85%, and product diversification from 10% to 65%. Beyond technical capacity, the program fostered social empowerment, as women transitioned from supplementary laborers to key innovators and decision-makers in production and marketing. Economically, the group achieved routine production of 10–15 liters of kombucha per week, with an average selling price of IDR 20,000–25,000 per 250 ml bottle, resulting in a 40–50% increase in income compared to previous activities. Environmentally, the process is considered sustainable, as it relies on locally available raw materials without generating hazardous waste. Overall, this initiative demonstrates that roselle kombucha innovation can strengthen community empowerment, gender inclusivity, and local economic sustainability while contributing to functional food development.
