Abstract

As an inclusive movement for independent farmers, who constitute the most dominant actors, accounting for 70% of palm oil plantation management in Riau Province in 2023, and supported by Riau Province's status, holding 23% of the largest palm oil plantation area in Indonesia in 2023. The service method employed is CARE's Pathways Approach, which encourages the capacity building of independent farmers through training and mentoring in more efficient and sustainable plantation administration techniques. By facilitating independent farmers' access to new technologies and innovations, CARE’s Pathways Approach can aid independent palm oil farmers in accelerating their participation in smallholder oil palm replanting, ISPO (Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil), RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), and maximizing efficiency in resource management, particularly in improving plantation administration skills. This includes the use of technology such as electronics, smartphones, email, and other features that can streamline the data collection process, especially for independent palm oil farmer groups, and simplify the process of applying for STDB (Smallholder Palm Oil Plantation Business Registration) and SPPL (Environmental Management and Monitoring Statement) as initial steps toward obtaining sustainable palm oil plantation certification in Indonesia. The findings indicate that Beringin Jaya Village Unit Cooperative (KUD) as the representative of palm oil farmers in Beringin Indah Village has fully participated in the education and socialization processes. This is evidenced by evaluation results showing the capacity and efficiency of this empowerment, which has had a positive impact on the cooperative.

Abstract

The peatlands in Tanjung Leban Village, Bandar Laksamana District, Bengkalis Regency, have great potential to be developed into conservation-based and creative economy-based educational tourism areas. One of the leading potentials is honeybee cultivation, which is not only environmentally friendly but can also increase community income. However, to date, this potential has not been developed sustainably. The purpose of this community service activity is to empower the community through honeybee educational tourism by increasing community capacity in honeybee cultivation, raising awareness of the importance of peatland conservation through an educational approach, and encouraging village economic growth through environmentally friendly tourism and creative economy sectors. The methods of this community service activity include counseling on honeybee cultivation techniques, training on peatland management for honeybee cultivation and educational tourism, workshops on modern bee cultivation techniques, group mentoring in honeybee educational tourism management and product marketing, and training on honeybee educational tourism promotion through social media and marketplaces. The results of community service show that there is an increase in community capacity and knowledge, diversification of livelihoods and improvement of the local economy, development of infrastructure and educational tourism destinations, contribution to peatland conservation and strengthening of community institutions.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the competitiveness of the local honey product “Madu Biene” in Bengkalis Regency through strengthening branding, packaging, and market access to support sustainable development. Prior to implementation, the partner MSME had no Trade Business License (IUD), which hindered market expansion and formal cooperation. The method employed was Participatory Action Research (PAR), involving local government, entrepreneurs, academics, communities, and the private sector as strategic partners. Activities included training on brand identity design, development of eco-friendly packaging, facilitation of online and offline marketing, and socialization as well as assistance in obtaining the IUD. The results showed improvements in packaging quality and brand image, expansion of marketing networks, increased understanding of sustainability principles among business actors, and the issuance of the IUD, which strengthened business legality. Multi-sectoral collaboration proved effective as a catalyst for empowering MSMEs based on local resources, while contributing to the achievement of SDGs, particularly goals 8, 12, and 17.
