<![CDATA[This community service program aims to enhance the capacity of the Randakari Urban Village community in ginger cultivation and waste management specifically through organic and inorganic waste sorting as a means to foster sustainable environmental practices. The activities involved housewives as well as the heads of five Community Units (RW) and twenty-eight Neighborhood Units (RT) in Randakari. The implementation utilized an "Edu-Action" approach, integrating education, discussion, demonstration, and hands on practice across three stages: preparation and needs assessment, education and capacity building, and field action and practice. Activities included instruction on basic ginger cultivation techniques, practical ginger planting, education on identifying organic and inorganic waste, and the implementation of waste sorting using segregated bins. The results indicate that the Edu-Action approach successfully increased community engagement in ginger cultivation and waste sorting practices while strengthening the roles of RW and RT heads as drivers of community-level activities. The program contributes a practice-based empowerment model that integrates productive, ecological, and participatory aspects. Program sustainability is ensured through the monitoring of ginger cultivation, consistent waste sorting, and the strengthening of environmental action groups at the RT and RW levels.]]>
