This community service activity aims to strengthen integrated agricultural community business through synergy between academics, business actors, and farmers. The program was implemented by the Agribusiness Management Study Program team of Payakumbuh State Agricultural Polytechnic in collaboration with Solok Radjo Cooperative and LemBoo Farm in Solok and Limapuluh Kota Regencies, West Sumatra. Implementation methods include discussion and action plan formulation as well as integrated agricultural activity demonstrations. Main activities encompass silage production from corn straw as alternative livestock feed, organic fertilizer production from cattle manure waste, and community business management socialization for integrated farming system development. Results demonstrate the creation of collective innovation integrating technical, social, and environmental aspects. Solok Radjo Cooperative successfully increased Arabica coffee added value through processing to green beans and obtained international certification and awards. Agricultural waste utilization into economically valuable products enhanced farming efficiency and sustainability. University tri-dharma synergy with communities strengthened knowledge transfer through student field studies and internships. This program proves that collective approaches can improve competitiveness, farmer welfare, and environmental sustainability in community-based agribusiness systems.
