Abstract

This community service activity is part of the BINTANG PERTIWI Program (Empowering Climate-Friendly and Innovative Agriculture Villages), implemented by PT Pertamina EP Sangatta Field in Pinang Raya Village, South Sangatta District, East Kutai Regency. The main challenge faced by farmers in this area is the high cost of agricultural production, largely due to their dependence on chemical fertilisers and pesticides, as well as the underutilization of abundant organic waste, particularly tree branches that are often burned, resulting in air pollution and an increased risk of land fires. The innovative solution introduced is the management of tree branch waste through a pyrolysis process to produce grade-3 liquid smoke, which is then used as an eco-friendly bio-pesticide. The activities were carried out through awareness campaigns, technical training, mentoring, and continuous monitoring and evaluation. The program results show pesticide cost savings of approximately Rp600,000 per year, improved community awareness in waste management, and strengthened farmer group capacity in adopting semi-organic farming practices. The program not only has economic benefits but also contributes to mitigating land fire risks and fostering a more sustainable environment. These findings demonstrate that social innovations based on local potential can be replicated in other regions to support sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

The Tato Macan Program (Taman TOGA Makin Cantik) is part of Prokesmas Puja, an integrated community health initiative. It focuses on improving health and economic resilience by making better use of Family Medicinal Gardens (TOGA).The program was created to address two key issues: idle land that was not being utilised productively and the need for additional nutrition for tuberculosis patients and children at risk of stunted growth. Activities include transforming unused land into TOGA demo gardens, training health cadres and local people to cultivate and process herbal plants, and creating value-added products such as herbal teas, packaged jamu, and moringa chips.In line with circular economy principles, the program also promotes composting organic waste and using biogas to support production. These efforts have led to the development of stronger skills among health cadres and community members, the growth of model TOGA gardens, and the establishment of new micro-enterprises specialising in herbal products. Families benefit directly through extra income and reduced household expenses.Beyond its local impact, Tato Macan has inspired other communities through knowledge sharing, helping the program spread more widely. In short, it contributes to health by offering functional foods, to society by empowering cadres, and to the economy by diversifying community businesses.
