<![CDATA[Gendro Village, Tutur District, Pasuruan Regency has substantial dairy farming potential, but milk is still predominantly marketed as fresh milk, resulting in limited added value for the community. This community service activity aimed to improve community knowledge and skills in milk diversification through the production of milk crackers and to initiate their development as a village flagship product. The activity used a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach consisting of potential and needs identification, joint planning, material delivery, demonstration, production practice, and evaluation. The training was conducted on 12 August 2026 and involved 20 members of the Gendro Village PKK. Participants directly practiced material preparation, dough mixing and shaping, cooking, cooling, slicing, drying, and frying. The activity showed that locally available fresh cow milk can be used to produce milk crackers through relatively simple processing technology that can be applied at household scale. Participants also gained knowledge and direct experience in alternative milk utilization. Milk crackers therefore have potential to be developed as a flagship product of Gendro Village, although further commercialization requires formulation and process standardization, quality and shelf-life testing, packaging improvement, product licensing, and marketing strategy development.]]>
