Abstract

This community engagement project aimed to empower local microenterprises in Wanagiri Village, Buleleng, by introducing digital innovation and effective business management to enhance the production and market expansion of taro chips. Two main community partners, the PKK women's group and the Wanagiri Youth Taro Processing Group (KPT), previously relied on conventional methods with limited market reach and minimal waste utilisation. The intervention implemented a five-phase strategy: (1) socialisation and stakeholder mapping, (2) training and technology introduction, (3) hands-on practice, (4) mentoring, and (5) evaluation and sustainability planning. Key outputs included standardised hygienic production processes (GMP/SSOP), financial bookkeeping systems, digital marketing capability through social media and marketplaces, new branding and packaging, and a prototype for processing taro waste into animal feed. The program significantly improved partners' production volume, quality, digital literacy, and business sustainability. This initiative demonstrates how community-based digital innovation and management capacity building can transform local agribusinesses, increase household income, and contribute to sustainable rural development.

Abstract

The livestock areas are characterized by vast quantities of animal wastes that can be used as organic manure through composting and biochar production for soil fertility enhancement. This work aims to estimate the potential of increasing soil fertility and red chili production by employing biochar and poschar from different animal wastes. The design used for this study is a factorial pattern and randomized block. The first factor is the type of biochar used, including no biochar, biochar derived from cow manure, biochar derived from goat manure, and biochar derived from chicken manure. The second factor is the type of poschar; this includes poschar derived from cow manure, poschar derived from goat, poschar derived from chicken manure. It can be concluded from the investigation outcomes that applying biochar and poschar substantially affects soil factors such as water content, pH, EC, humic acid, fulvic acid, C, N, P, K, and CEC values. Red chilies increase and yield higher per hectare when various forms of biochar and poschar are applied. The combustion of cow manure and application of biochar products and biochar made from chicken manure produce the highest agronomic performance.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of biochar and poschar fertilisers derived from livestock manure on red chilli yields and soil organic matter variations. The results demonstrated that the interaction between biochar and poschar substantially affected the fresh chilli pod weight per plant and organic matter content. Applying biochar and poschar organic fertilisers derived from animal manure substantially influenced plant height, fresh fruit weight per plant, and soil organic matter. The interaction between cow manure and poschar from poultry manure produced the highest yield of chilli fruit weight per plant, or an increase of 323.88% compared to the absence of biochar and poschar. The organic matter content of the soil underwent a significant change, with the highest organic matter content resulting from the interaction between chicken biochar and chicken poschar, which increased by 143,00% compared to the control group.

Abstract

Coffee Husks produced from coffee processing are waste that can be used as raw material for making organic fertilizer. Utilizing coffee Husks as organic fertilizer can increase added value and farmers' income while reducing the smell from piles of coffee Husk waste, which can pollute the environment. Development efforts to overcome this problem include processing coffee Husk waste into compost. In this service activity, partners will be introduced to and trained in the technology for making quality compost fertilizer and managing coffee farming businesses to provide added value and improve the farmer's economy. This service aims to increase the added value (value added) of coffee Husk waste as organic fertilizer in the Windu Sari Farming Group. The problems found in farmer groups are the problem of piles of coffee husk waste, which have not been appropriately handled, and the problem of technology for making compost fertilizer, which has not been fully understood by partners, as well as farming business management problems related to group strengthening. The method used in community service in Batukaang Village is the Participatory Action and Learning System (PALS). This method aims to make the partner group an object in service activities through various forms such as education, training, counseling, as well as coaching and mentoring. The PALS method is implemented in several stages: (1) awareness phase, (2) capacity building phase, mentoring phase, and (3) institutionalization phase. The results obtained from this service program are in the form of a technology package for making compost fertilizer. From the service that has been carried out in the form of counseling, training, and the practice of making organic fertilizer compost, the response from the community, in this case, the Windu Sari Farmers Group, has been excellent. The participants' enthusiasm was seen from the many questions submitted to the service team regarding compost-making technology and its benefits for agriculture.

Abstract

The province administration of Bali consistently promotes the formation of livestock farming communities, namely in goat farming, using housing and livestock aid initiatives. The "Subak Abian Pebunut" goat farming group in Catur Village, Kintamani District, Bangli, is among the recipients of government aid in goat farming. Despite its relatively short duration of operation, the group above needs support and instruction, particularly in maintenance management and feeding techniques. This is particularly relevant in effectively utilizing a substantial quantity of coffee waste via fermentation. The primary objective of this community service initiative is to modify the behavior of individuals within the group. Specifically, the focus is on enhancing their knowledge, abilities, and attitudes. It is important to note that the delivered content is derived from prior research studies. The approach employed in this community service initiative involves disseminating educational resources, followed by practical instruction on the fermentation of coffee skins. Additionally, trials and evaluations are conducted on goats to assess their growth and gauge their response to the practices above. The implementation of community service has yielded notable outcomes in knowledge acquisition, specifically in the discovery of the potential for fermenting coffee skins to produce animal feed of superior quality. In terms of actual implementation, the active involvement of all group members is ensured to facilitate the subsequent execution of the probiotic component blending and coffee skin fermentation procedures. In the context of trials and assessments, it was seen that the administration of fermented coffee skins to goats yielded notable outcomes in terms of their growth, as opposed to a control group of goats that did not get coffee skins. Based on the findings of this community service initiative, it can be inferred that the participants expressed satisfaction in acquiring knowledge and hands-on experience in producing fermented feed using coffee skins. Additionally, they observed the direct impact of feeding fermented coffee skins to livestock over one month, specifically examining the animals' response to consumption and its influence on the growth of goats.

Abstract

This study focuses on accelerating the development of Arabica coffee production and processing in Kintamani, Bali, to enhance local business and economic growth. Kintamani, renowned for its distinctive Arabica coffee, faces challenges in productivity, post-harvest processing, and global market access. The program employed a combination of face-to-face methods, counseling, training, and hands-on practices to improve cultivation techniques, post-harvest methods, marketing strategies, and collaboration networks. The method involved direct practice guided by experts, with training on sustainable agricultural practices, modern post-harvest processing technologies, and effective marketing strategies. Results show a significant increase in participants' knowledge, with an understanding of marketing strategies improving from 21.05% to 84.21%, and awareness of product certification rising from 10.53% to 84.21%. These outcomes demonstrate the program's effectiveness in empowering local communities and fostering sustainable development. Recommendations include leveraging social media, certification systems, and stakeholder collaborations to enhance market access and ensure business continuity.
