<![CDATA[Household organic waste management remains a significant challenge due to limited community knowledge and skills in transforming kitchen waste into value-added products. One practical solution is the conversion of kitchen waste into Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF). This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge, awareness, and skills of residents in Karya Indah Village, Tapung District, Kampar Regency, in processing kitchen waste into LOF as a sustainable household organic waste management strategy. The program applied a participatory descriptive approach involving preparation, educational outreach, LOF production demonstrations, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and evaluation through observation of participant involvement and responses. The results indicated that participants improved their understanding of suitable organic waste types, LOF benefits, fermentation processes, and proper application and storage methods. Participants showed high enthusiasm through active participation during demonstrations, discussions, and their willingness to produce LOF independently at home. The activity also promoted a positive perception shift, where kitchen waste was viewed as a resource with ecological and economic value. Thus, educational outreach combined with practical demonstrations effectively strengthened community awareness and readiness to implement sustainable organic waste management through LOF utilization.]]>
