Abstract

Evaluating the Impact of a Women's Empowerment Program on Environmental Sustainability through Eco-Friendly Fertilizer Production. The high potential in Grenden Village as a corn producer has the side effect of increasing corn plant waste. Most people do not utilize corn waste, especially corn cobs. Corn waste is rich in organic matter and can be reused for plant fertilization. Corn cobs can be used as an alternative fertilizer that can replace the role of chemical fertilizers. PPK Ormawa Team of HMPS S1 Science Education ASE held training for village residents through the Gayati Women's School to provide education and practical activities to residents to utilize corn waste as organic fertilizer. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a training program in teaching local women to utilize corn cobs as organic fertilizer. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method that focuses on describing the results obtained in real terms based on conditions in the field. Data were collected through observation, activity documentation, and interviews. The implementation of the activity was carried out in Grenden Village, Puger District in August 2024. The target of this activity was mothers who were members of the Gayatri Women's School, totaling around 20 people. The object of this activity is corn cobs which are one of the local wastes in Grenden Village. Evaluation of this activity through the results of the pretest and post-test shows that education and training in making fertilizer from Corn Cobs have a positive impact on the community such as waste reduction, economic improvement, soil health, and empowerment education.

Abstract

Abstrak Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di Desa Suci, Kecamatan Panti, Kabupaten Jember, yang memiliki potensi limbah batok kelapa melimpah namun belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Tujuan program ini adalah memberdayakan masyarakat melalui pelatihan pembuatan briket ramah lingkungan berbahan dasar limbah batok kelapa sebagai alternatif bahan bakar yang hemat, bersih, dan bernilai ekonomis. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi tiga tahapan, yaitu persiapan (perencanaan, pengadaan alat dan bahan, serta pembekalan konsep), pelaksanaan (pengarangan batok, penghalusan arang, pencampuran dengan perekat, pencetakan, dan pengeringan), serta evaluasi (penilaian kualitas briket dan refleksi bersama masyarakat). Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mengolah limbah menjadi produk bernilai tambah. Briket yang dihasilkan memiliki karakteristik padat, tahan lama, dan nilai kalor sekitar 4.000–5.000 kalori/kg dengan asap minimal,  sehingga ramah lingkungan. Harga jual briket yang direkomendasikan kepada peserta sebesar Rp20.000/kg. Program ini tidak hanya mengatasi masalah limbah, tetapi juga membuka peluang usaha baru, mengurangi ketergantungan pada LPG dan kayu bakar, serta meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Kata kunci: briket; batok kelapa; pemberdayaan masyarakat; energi alternatif; pengolahan limbah. Abstract This community service activity was carried out in Suci Village, Panti District, Jember Regency, which has abundant coconut shell waste potential but has not been optimally utilized. The goal of this program is to empower the community through training in making environmentally friendly briquettes from coconut shell waste as an alternative fuel that is economical, clean, and economically valuable. The implementation method includes three stages, namely preparation (planning, procurement of tools and materials, and providing a concept), implementation (shell composition, charcoal refinement, mixing with adhesive, molding, and drying), and evaluation (briquette quality assessment and reflection with the community). The results of the activity showed an increase in community understanding and skills in processing waste into value-added products. The resulting briquettes are characterized by being dense, durable, and have a calorific value of around 4,000–5,000 calories/kg with minimal smoke, making them environmentally friendly. This program not only addresses the waste problem, but also opens up new business opportunities, reduces dependence on LPG and firewood, and improves community welfare. Keywords: briquettes; coconut shells; community empowerment; alternative energy; waste processing
