Tilapia farming is one of the freshwater aquaculture activities with significant potential to improve community livelihoods. However, the high cost of commercial feed remains a major challenge in aquaculture production. This community service program aimed to introduce the utilization of locally available feed resources as a cost-effective alternative to the Giri Sari Tilapia Farmer Group in Bedulu Village, Blahbatuh District, Gianyar Regency. The program was implemented through educational socialization, including lectures, interactive discussions, and question-and-answer sessions, followed by evaluation using pre-test and post-test instruments. The partner group consisted of 11 members, all of whom were actively engaged in tilapia farming. Monitoring was conducted through direct observation of participants' involvement throughout the activity, while evaluation was carried out by comparing pre-test and post-test results to assess improvements in participants' knowledge
