<![CDATA[Empowering Etawa crossbred (PE) goat farmers through crop-livestock integration is a sustainable strategy to increase productivity and income. This system synergizes the use of crop waste as feed and livestock manure as organic fertilizer, thereby increasing efficiency, reducing production costs, strengthening household economic resilience, and supporting the sustainability of the Genggelang Village agroecosystem, North Lombok. This community service program aims to: (1) increase the knowledge and skills of PE goat farmers through the implementation of a crop-Etawah crossbreed goat (PE) integration system, which is oriented towards increasing productivity and business efficiency, and strengthening group capacity; (2) provide hands-on practical examples and technical assistance in PE goat management, so that farmers not only understand the concept but are also able to implement it independently; (3) strengthen partnerships and build synergies between the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Mataram, and the farming community in the development and implementation of agricultural technology innovations. The method used was a community development approach based on adult learning, involving 15 farmer group members as participants. The results of the activity indicate that (1) there was an increase in the knowledge and skills of farmers through the implementation of a crop-Etawah crossbreed goat (PE) integration system, which is oriented towards increasing productivity and business efficiency. (2) This program can strengthen the group's managerial capacity in optimizing local potential, and (3) collaborative communication between academics and farmers/breeders in developing PE goat-based agriculture.]]>
