Abstract. The 2025 Student Organization Capacity Building Program (PPKO) of the Ahmad Dahlan University Student Association (HMTP) is a concrete manifestation of the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, particularly in the area of community service. The program partner is the Laras Pandowo Women's Farmers Group (KWT) in Pandowoharjo Village, Sleman, which boasts abundant local food potential but has not been optimally utilized. The goal of this program is to improve the entrepreneurial skills and insight of KWT members through training in processing local food ingredients into catfish basreng (basreng), catfish floss (flour), and chili flakes as a form of local food diversification. The implementation method includes preparation, Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), training, mentoring, evaluation, and follow-up. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge and skills of 56.9%, namely calculated from 58 points before the training to 91 points after the training. In addition, there was an average increase in side income of 55.7%, from Rp 227,272 before training to Rp 353,846 after training, which indicates the real application of training results in household economic activities. Participants were able to develop innovative flavors, packaging designs, and simple marketing strategies through social media. This program has successfully fostered the entrepreneurial spirit of village women and is the first step towards economic independence based on local potential. Abstrak.
