<![CDATA[Nusuk Village, in Semidang Gumai Subdistrict, Kaur Regency, Bengkulu Province, generates large quantities of organic waste, including oil palm empty fruit bunches, rice husks, and livestock manure, traditionally burned or left to accumulate, posing environmental risks. This community service program (KKN) aimed to improve residents' knowledge and skills in processing this waste into compost using EM4 bioactivator, palm sugar solution, and dolomite lime as a pH buffer. The program ran for 45 days through a participatory approach, comprising socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation, targeting farmer groups, PKK women's groups, and villagers. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and pre-test/post-test questionnaires, then analyzed descriptively, qualitatively and quantitatively. Results showed increased participant understanding and successful production of mature compost with a C/N ratio meeting SNI 19-7030-2004. This activity reduced organic waste volume in Nusuk Village while opening economic opportunities through community-based compost production.]]>
