Abstract

This paper highlights a community outreach program aimed at promoting culinary diversification, enhancing food hygiene, and fostering sanitation practices among Culinary Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Serdang Wetan Village under BUMDES (Village-owned enterprise) Serdang Tirta Kencana, Tangerang, Indonesia. The primary objective of the outreach activities was to empower MSMEs with knowledge and skills to diversify their culinary offerings while ensuring compliance with essential food safety standards and sanitation guidelines. Through a cooking workshop and interactive demonstrations, participating MSMEs were introduced to new recipes, cooking techniques, and ingredient combinations that would enhance their menu options. The program also strongly emphasized food hygiene and sanitation practices to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses and uphold public health standards. Participants received comprehensive training on proper food handling, storage, and preparation techniques, emphasizing maintaining a clean and hygienic environment within their establishments. Overall, this program underscores the significance of community-driven initiatives in bolstering culinary diversification, food hygiene, and sanitation for MSMEs. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and collaboration, this outreach program holds the potential to promote sustainable development and elevate the food industry in Serdang Wetan Village while ensuring the health and well-being of its residents and visitors alike.

Abstract

Serdang Wetan Village is one of the villages in Tangerang Selatan, Indonesia which will focus on improving welfare through science and technology, MSMEs and human resource potential. Serdang Wetan village still has several problems, where the level of education is still low, as well as the type of business of the village community which is focused only on the culinary business. The human capital has very limited skills besides local food and beverage production. Thus, it is shown the importance of encouraging job creation in the village through e-commerce media. In this digital world, people are more likely to shop using online media. E-commerce can open up even greater business opportunities, both for culinary businesses and other MSMEs. The training provided is in the form of an introduction to online business (e-commerce) with a focus on social commerce or selling using social media, to tips and tricks for selling using e-commerce. In this training, a technopreneur in the culinary field will also be invited who share her experiences in doing business using the e-commerce platform. Apart from that, following the SDGs, this activity can help village communities to expand business opportunities, so it is hoped that it can help eradicate poverty and hunger, reduce inequality, sustainable consumption, and production as well as partnerships to achieve goals.Â
