Abstract

Talian Kereng Village, located in Katingan Hilir District, Central Kalimantan, faces challenges regarding the availability of fertilizers for upland rice farmers on peatlands, with a heavy reliance on government-subsidized chemical fertilizers. To address this issue, a community empowerment program was implemented to promote independent organic fertilizer production using local resources. The program involved education and training for the Maju Bersama farmer group on the production of decomposers, liquid organic fertilizer (eco enzyme), and compost from household waste and harvest residues. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, where initially, 53.9% of participants had limited understanding of decomposer and eco enzyme production, but after the training, 95.3% of participants fully comprehended the material. Furthermore, all participants became skilled in producing organic fertilizers. This program is expected to enhance farmers' self-sufficiency in meeting fertilizer needs, reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers, and support agricultural sustainability in Talian Kereng Village.

Abstract

This community service program was carried out in Talian Kereng Village, Katingan Regency, Central Kalimantan, with the aim of enhancing food self-sufficiency through training on probiotic-based fish pellet production and the implementation of aquaponic technology. The program involved 15 participants and included theoretical training sessions, practical fish feed production, and aquaponic system installation. Evaluation results indicated a significant increase in knowledge, with the average score rising from 40% to 85%. A total of 90% of participants successfully practiced fish pellet production with the correct composition, while 80% were able to independently operate the aquaponic system. The program also featured the handover of fish pellet production technology and the aquaponic system to the local fish farming group. Despite challenges related to the availability of probiotic ingredients and aquaponic system management, this initiative has opened opportunities for further development in rural fisheries and agriculture.
