Abstract

Ponggok Village, Blitar Regency, is one of the papaya production centers in East Java with abundant harvests every year. Unfortunately, most papayas are only sold fresh without further processing, and even young papayas and their skins are often wasted. This problem continues to occur every year. Therefore, this community service program aims to empower the Lumpang Sewu Farmer Group through training in the production of economically valuable papaya products. The products developed include papaya floss, papaya chips, papaya candy, and eco-enzymes from papaya peels. The program was implemented through observation, preparation of tools and materials, product testing, training, and business evaluation and assistance. The results of the activities show a significant increase in the knowledge and skills of the participants, as evidenced by the pretest and posttest results and participant testimonials. All participants stated that they were 100% capable of producing the products, and 95% were interested in selling them. This program not only provides practical skills but also encourages economic independence and the sustainable utilization of local potential.

Abstract

Organic waste management remains a major environmental challenge in Ngroto Village, Pujon District, Malang Regency, Indonesia, due to limited waste-sorting practices and inadequate facilities for organic waste processing. This community service program aims to enhance community understanding of waste management and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) bioconversion and assess participants’ willingness to adopt the promoted practices through the GreenFlow program. The program integrated two components: Green-Waste, which focused on waste sorting, and Green-Grow BSF, which focused on organic waste bioconversion through BSF cultivation. Activities comprised preparation, outreach and training, hands-on assistance, BSF cultivation, and evaluation. Changes in participants’ understanding were assessed using six pretest and posttest items, while their willingness to adopt the promoted practices was assessed separately using a four-point Likert-scale item. Data from 59 respondents with paired assessments, comprising members of the Family Welfare Movement (PKK) and Dasawisma groups in Ngroto Village, were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normalized gain (N-gain), and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Overall understanding increased from 58.3% on the pretest to 95.9% on the posttest, yielding a high N-gain of 0.90 and a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.001). Understanding of waste management increased from 67.4% to 97.0%, while understanding of BSF cultivation increased from 40.3% to 93.6%. Participants’ willingness to adopt the promoted practices also increased from 66.5% to 95.8% (p < 0.001). The Green-Grow BSF unit processed approximately 40–50 kg of organic waste per day. These findings indicate that GreenFlow improved community understanding and reported willingness to adopt integrated organic waste management practices involving BSF bioconversion.
