Abstract

This community service activity was carried out by a team of lecturers from the 1945 Teachers' Union University (Universitas Persatuan Guru 1945) in East Nusa Tenggara in Merdeka Village, East Kupang District, with the aim of improving the community's knowledge and skills in processing organic waste into liquid and solid organic fertilizers. The background to this activity was based on the high volume of underutilized organic waste and the increasing community demand for organic fertilizers as an environmentally friendly and economical alternative. The implementation methods included observation, outreach, practical training, mentoring, and participatory evaluation. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in community understanding and skills related to organic waste management, the creation of solid and liquid organic fertilizer products, and the emergence of community initiatives to continue the activity independently. This activity also had a positive impact on environmental cleanliness and encouraged the development of new environmentally-based businesses. It was concluded that community-based waste management can be an effective solution in supporting sustainable agriculture and local economic empowerment. Future recommendations include the need for further mentoring, government support, the formation of local communities, and the integration of this program into food security strategies and further training.

Abstract

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is extracted coconut oil containing medium-chain fatty acids that are believed to have many health benefits. These fatty acids are easily digested and absorbed by the intestines because their molecules are relatively small, allowing the body to directly burn them to produce energy. Furthermore, VCO contains lauric acid, which can dissolve lipid membranes in the form of viruses, thus disrupting the immune system and inactivating the virus. VCO is processed without heating, without the addition of chemicals, dyes, or preservatives, allowing it to remain as pure vegetable oil without changing the composition or characteristics of the oil. VCO has high economic value. The manufacturing process is easy. The methods used in this Community Service are Counseling, hands-on practice, and discussion. It is hoped that the use of coconuts will not only be sold as unprocessed fruit, but that coconuts will be processed into pure coconut oil or Virgin Coconut Oil and can be developed more widely through group entrepreneurship programs, thereby increasing the income of the congregation, especially in the GMIT Elim Sialain Congregation, Uitao Village, Semau District, Kupang Regency.
