<![CDATA[Kemuning Lor Village in Jember Regency has considerable potential in the agricultural and livestock sectors; however, the utilization of waste from these sectors, including domestic waste, has not yet been optimized. Waste materials such as rice straw, livestock manure, and household waste are generally not properly managed, potentially causing environmental pollution while also missing opportunities for added economic value. This community service activity aims to improve the capacity of farmers and livestock breeders in processing waste into more valuable products through a sustainable agriculture approach. The methods applied include participatory training, technical demonstrations, direct field practice, and intensive assistance for members of the Makmur Farmers Group Association (GAPOKTAN). The products generated from this activity include fermented feed made from rice straw, solid organic fertilizer (SOF), liquid organic fertilizer (LOF), and botanical pesticides. The results of the program indicate an increase in participants’ knowledge and skills, with 92% of them being able to apply the techniques that had been taught. The utilization of fermented straw was proven to increase feed protein content while improving storage efficiency, whereas the processing of domestic and livestock waste reduced environmental pollution and production costs. Overall, this program contributes to promoting the implementation of the circular economy concept and sustainable agricultural systems, while also having the potential to improve the welfare of rural communities.]]>
