Abstract

Excessive sugar consumption is a significant public health concern linked to the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases. Housewives, as primary family food managers, play a crucial role in determining dietary patterns. This community service program aimed to empower housewives in Bangle Village, Lengkong District, through education on low-sugar healthy meal preparation. The program employed the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, focusing on identifying and mobilizing existing community assets rather than addressing deficits. Methods included asset mapping, interactive nutrition workshops, and participatory cooking practices. The initial mapping revealed key assets: the culinary skills of housewives, the structured network of the PKK (Family Welfare Empowerment), and the availability of local ingredients. The intervention resulted in a significant increase in participants' knowledge, with average pretest and post-test scores rising from 52.4 to 85.6. Furthermore, the program successfully mobilized these assets, as observed in the practical sessions where participants modified traditional recipes to reduce sugar content. More importantly, the ABCD approach fostered sustainable community ownership, leading to the formation of the "Bangle Healthy Mothers" group and the commitment of local cadres to integrate health messages into ongoing community activities. The program concludes that an asset-based, participatory approach is highly effective not only for immediate knowledge transfer and skill development but also for instigating lasting, community-driven change in health and nutrition behaviors.

Abstract

This community service program addresses the critical challenges faced by durian and strawberry farmers in Wonosalam, Jombang, namely significant post-harvest losses of non-premium grade fruit, dependency on middlemen leading to price suppression, and a lack of product diversification. The primary objectives were to enhance farmers’ capacity in low-sugar fruit processing, build their digital marketing literacy, and integrate these skills to increase added value and market competitiveness. Employing a Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology underpinned by an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, the six-month intervention involved 25 core farmers in a cycle of asset mapping, co-designing workshops on product processing (low-sugar jam, puree, chips) and digital marketing (WhatsApp Business, Instagram), and intensive mentoring. The results demonstrated a successful increase in practical skills and knowledge, the establishment of active online business profiles attracting over 2,300 followers, the generation of additional household income averaging IDR 285,000 from processed products, and enhanced group collaboration. The program concludes that an integrated strategy combining value-adding technology with digital market access, rooted in participatory empowerment and leveraging local assets, is an effective model for transforming farmers into market-savvy agripreneurs, offering a replicable blueprint for similar horticultural communities seeking sustainable economic improvement.
