Abstract

This paper presents a community engagement initiative in Kuwon Village, Magetan Regency, aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity through compost production mechanization. The project, a collaboration between university researchers and local farmers, introduced organic composting techniques using a specially designed compost chopper machine. The initiative sought to address the challenges of high fertilizer costs and limited subsidized fertilizers, promoting sustainable agricultural practices and improving farmers' livelihoods. The primary goal was to provide an efficient, cost-effective method for producing organic compost, reducing dependency on chemical fertilizers, and improving soil health. The project followed a participatory approach, involving farmers at every stage—from needs assessment to design, fabrication, training, and implementation—ensuring solutions suited to the local community's needs. The compost chopper machine reduced time and labor in compost production, and farmers reported improved soil health and higher crop yields. The project also fostered community collaboration as farmers worked together to adopt new practices. Economic benefits included lower input costs and increased income from higher productivity. The success of this initiative highlights the potential of combining technological innovation with community involvement to tackle challenges faced by rural farmers in Indonesia, promoting sustainable agricultural development and improving livelihoods.

Abstract

Abstrak Limbah organik jika tidak dikelola dengan baik akan menimbulkan berbagai masalah, baik bagi kesehatan, maupun lingkungan. Pengelolaannya menjadi pupuk cair dapat membantu petani memanfaatkan ulang limbah dapur dan pertanian mereka menjadi lebih berdaya guna bagi usaha tani mereka. Petani di Desa Jatimulyo, Jenggawah, Jember, Jawa Timur telah mengenal dan memanfatkan pupuk organik cair (POC) dengan proses pembuatan secara manual. Karena manual, proses pembuatannya memerlukan waktu sekitar enam pekan. Proses pembutaan POC dapat dipercepat dengan pengadukan masinal, terutama pada periode fermentasi yakni dengan pengadukan berkala dan teratur. Tim pengabdian terdiri atas gabungan mahasiswa Teknik Mesin dan Teknik Industri Pertanian melihat peluang ini dan membuat mesin pengaduk untuk POC. Pengenalan teknologi ini ke  masyarakat membuat kelompok tani sangat bergembira, karena dapat memercepat proses pembuatan POC menjadi tiga pekan. Para petani mengharapkan keberlanjutan program mahasiswa mengabdi di desa dengan berbagia inovasi dan teknologi yang lain untuk kemajuan mereka. Kata kunci: limbah organik, pupuk organic cair, mesin pengaduk, pengabdian masyarakat Abstract If not managed properly, organic waste can cause various problems, both for health and the environment. Processing it into liquid fertilizer can help farmers reuse their kitchen and agricultural waste, making it more effective for their farming businesses. Farmers in Jatimulyo Village, Jenggawah, Jember, East Java, have become familiar with and utilize liquid organic fertilizer (POC) through a manual manufacturing process. Due to the manual process, the manufacturing time is approximately six weeks. The POC manufacturing process can be accelerated by mechanical stirring, especially during the fermentation period, which requires periodic and regular stirring. A community service team consisting of Mechanical Engineering and Agricultural Industrial Engineering students saw this opportunity and created a mixing machine for POC. The introduction of this technology to the community greatly delighted the farmer group, as it can accelerate the POC manufacturing process to three weeks. The farmers hope for the continuation of the student service program in the village, along with various other innovations and technologies to further their progress.
