<![CDATA[Suboptimal chicken-manure management and low soil fertility have constrained the use of home gardens in Dalangan Hamlet, Ngemplak Village, Kalikotes District. This community service program aimed to integrate the processing of chicken manure into organic fertilizer with small-scale cultivation to support household food security. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied through field observation, interviews, educational sessions, fertilizer-making practice, polybag planting practice, and evaluation. The ‘Gerakan Bersama Ketahanan Pangan’ program involved residents of Community Unit 12. The activities drew active participation during presentations, discussions, and hands-on sessions. Participants practiced processing dried chicken manure using a decomposer and preparing planting media for polybags. The program introduced practical knowledge concerning livestock-waste use, soil fertility, and home gardens as household food sources. It also showed that livestock waste could be processed into useful fertilizer for household-scale cultivation. Continued implementation requires independent practice by residents and periodic assistance from village officials.]]>
