Abstract

Tangguh Waste Bank is a newly established waste bank located in Dusun Wonosuko, Magelang Regency, which has been successful in processing inorganic waste. However, there is no management of organic waste yet. The Wonosuko Asri Farmers' Women Group (KWT), as the waste bank manager, still has limited knowledge about farming and inadequate equipment. The purpose of this activity is to help KWT Wonosuko Asri improve their skills in organic waste management and transform vacant land into a nutritional garden as a step to increase food security. The focus of this activity is 1) increasing public awareness of stunting, 2) teaching compost making, 3) providing counseling on organic waste management, and 4) holding children's wide games to promote healthy eating patterns. The implementation of the activity begins with socialization, counseling, practice, mentoring, and evaluation. The results achieved through this activity include the formation of the KWT Dusun Wonosuko Asri organizational structure to implement follow-up programs, the creation of nutritional gardens and liquid organic fertilizer, and the stimulation of children to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
