Abstract

The Sembalun Mushroom Initiative aims to strengthen food security and resilience to disasters in Sembalun Bumbung and circumstance villages through the utilization of biogas energy for the pasteurization process of mushrooms. These areas are prone to disasters, making the supply of food and sustainable energy a major challenge. The project utilizes cow dung waste as an environmentally friendly biogas source to support pasteurization and mushroom cultivation. Traditionally, mushroom pasteurization processes still use firewood, which triggers deforestation, high carbon emissions, and health risks from smoke. The community service team from the University of Mataram has developed biogas technology as an alternative solution. The biogas installation at the At-Tazkiyah Islamic Boarding School was completed in May 2024 and began operating in July 2024, thereafter a mushroom house has been built for mushroom cultivation in early 2025. During this community service project, a gas pasteurization system is installed and used for pasteurization, followed by training and capacity building for the community in utilizing green energy sources. The aim is to introduce a transition to environmentally friendly technologies, as well as to support innovation, sustainability, and community engagement. The activities are an international collaboration between the Postgraduate Program and the Faculty of Engineering at University of Mataram and the Fatoni University in Thailand. It is expected to expand Unram's international exposure and strengthen cooperation between countries.

Abstract

Sembalun Bumbung Village faces significant challenges in maintaining a stable food supply and achieving economic resilience due to its location in a disaster-prone area. The region is at risk, making it dangerous to clear new land for agricultural cultivation. To address these issues, the Sembalun Mushroom Initiative aims to enhance food security and disaster resilience in the village by improving the quality of mushroom products and providing support in business management. The cultivation of straw mushrooms presents an alternative agricultural development that can support food security and boost the local economy. The advantages of straw mushroom cultivation include the fact that it does not require clearing new land or forests, and it typically yields good market prices. However, farmers in Sembalun Bumbung Village currently lack the knowledge and technology necessary to produce high-quality straw mushrooms and manage their businesses effectively. To help overcome these challenges, a community service team from the University of Mataram is assisting with advanced cultivation technology and business management practices. Their efforts include developing training programs that cover business management, marketing strategies, and resource management.

Abstract

West Nusa Tenggara is a region prone to natural disasters, requiring strategies to strengthen food security as part of efforts to build community resilience. One potential alternative is mushroom cultivation based on simple technology. This community service activity aims to introduce and implement a technologically advanced mushroom cultivation model to support food security and disaster resilience in Sembalun Bumbung Village, East Lombok. The method used was participatory training with a learning-by-doing approach, involving the local community in all stages of mushroom cultivation, from media preparation and sensor-based environmental control to harvesting and post-harvest. The results of the activity showed that most participants initially lacked knowledge of mushroom cultivation, but after the training, there was an increase in interest and understanding of the economic and consumption benefits of mushroom cultivation. The implementation of mushroom houses with technology to monitor temperature, humidity, lighting, and biogas utilization was deemed effective and easily adopted by the community. Technologically advanced mushroom cultivation has the potential to become an adaptive and sustainable local food source, thus supporting food security and community resilience in the face of natural disasters.
