Abstract

This community service program, conducted in Sindangwangi Village, Brebes Regency, aims to optimize the use of unproductive village land to improve local welfare. A team from the University of Civilization initiated an empowerment project through the introduction of balsa tree (Ochroma pyramidale) cultivation as an alternative source of economic value. The program was implemented in several stages, including problem identification, land mapping, provision of agricultural equipment, training, and technical mentoring for the community. The villagers received practical guidance on nursery preparation, planting techniques, and tree maintenance. As a result, six hectares of idle land that had been overgrown with weeds were successfully cleared, and 1,000 balsa seedlings were planted as demonstration plots. In addition to improving land productivity, this activity significantly enhanced community knowledge and skills in sustainable forestry management. The harvested balsa is expected to generate approximately IDR 100 million in village income within five years. This success demonstrates that collaboration between higher education institutions and local governments can effectively transform non-productive assets into profitable and environmentally friendly economic resources, supporting sustainable rural development and the achievement of the SDGs at the village level.

Abstract

Salem District is one of the largest coffee commodities in Brebes Regency. This significant potential has yet to provide a meaningful contribution to the income of coffee farmers, especially in Gunung Jaya village, Salem District. The low income of coffee farmers is due to the fact that they still sell their coffee products in the form of cherry. Over time, in 2018, farmers began to develop small-scale and simple coffee processing from green beans to roasted beans and coffee powder, pioneered by the SME "Lulumpang Kopi". They still use simple tools and often have to travel out of town to obtain the desired coffee powder. Lulumpang Kopi can produce 100-150 packages of coffee weighing 100 grams. Seeing this potential, the Community Partnership Empowerment team (PKM) from the University of Civilisation and UNSOED, funded by DIKTISAINTEK, is conducting community service this year 2025 using training methods, workshops, and appropriate technology grants. Thus, technology has been granted in the form of 1 Huller machine with a capacity of 150kg/batch, 1 BBM Grinding machine with a capacity of 10kg/batch, and scales. This assistance aims to enhance farmers' capabilities to achieve greater economic independence and improve their competitiveness in the market. As a result of this activity, partners were able to increase the capacity and quality of coffee farmers' production through the grant of equipment such as huller, BBM grinder, and digital scales, making the processing faster, more efficient, and yielding better coffee compared to traditional methods. In addition, the training participants also demonstrated an increase in knowledge through pre-tests and post-tests, rising from 66.5% to 77.3%, an increase of 13.8% from the 40 participants who attended.
