Abstract

This research focuses on empowering coffee farmers in Enrekang Regency through transforming coffee husk waste into alternative fermented feed, using a counseling approach. Coffee husk waste is a common environmental problem in coffee producing areas, but has great potential to be processed into value-added products. A counseling approach is used to assist farmers in understanding the fermentation process, overcoming challenges, and improving their technical skills. The methods applied include direct training, ongoing assistance, and evaluation of the application of fermentation technology. The research results show that the counseling approach significantly increases farmers' knowledge and skills in processing coffee husk waste into fermented feed. The fermented feed produced is proven to have good nutritional quality and can be used as an economical and environmentally friendly alternative feed for livestock. Farmers involved in this program report increased income and reduced environmental problems caused by coffee husk waste. In conclusion, the counseling approach in empowering coffee farmers is not only effective in overcoming the problem of agricultural waste, but also contributes to improving farmer welfare through technological innovation. This research recommends expanding similar programs to other coffee producing regions to improve agricultural sustainability and farmer welfare in general.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate the KIPAS Counseling Model rooted in Bugis pappaseng to improve the interpersonal competence of university students. This model was designed using the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) framework. Data were collected through questionnaires, expert validation, pretest–posttest design, observation, and focus group discussions, with 60 students and five experts (counseling lecturers and cultural experts) participating. The results showed significant improvements in five dimensions of interpersonal competence: effective communication, positive interaction, understanding self and others, appreciation and empathy, and social solidarity. The overall average score increased from 61.2 (moderate category) to 81.3 (high category), with a t-value = 14.27, p < 0.001, and a large effect size (Cohen's d = 1.25). Qualitative data supported these results, where students reported increased self-confidence, deeper empathy, and stronger social ties after participating in culture-based counseling. Practically, the KIPAS Model offers a counseling framework that is contextual, sustainable, and relevant to students' needs, while revitalizing the value of local wisdom. Academically, this research contributes to the development of cross-cultural counseling literature and demonstrates that local wisdom can be the foundation for modern counseling innovation. The KIPAS Model also has the potential to be replicated and adapted to other cultural contexts in Indonesia, thereby strengthening multicultural education in higher education.
