Abstract

The Taberau plant (Phragmites australis) grows abundantly across the peat swamps of Central Kalimantan, particularly in Tanjung Sangalang Village. Despite its high biomass potential, it is widely dismissed as an invasive weed and remains underutilized. This community service program aims to empower local farmer groups by introducing a simple, local wisdom-integrated pyrolysis method to convert Taberau into multifunctional biochar. The program was executed through a comprehensive framework including local coordination, site surveys, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), simple reactor fabrication, hands-on demonstrations, and empirical evaluations. The production trials demonstrated that 20 kg of raw Taberau biomass yielded 5 kg of biochar, achieving an efficiency rate of approximately 25%. The training workshop, which engaged 40 local farmers, significantly elevated participants' technical comprehension, as evidenced by post-test scores exceeding 90% across all pedagogical indicators. Furthermore, 85% of respondents reported a substantial increase in environmental literacy, and 87.5% validated the tangible socio-economic benefits of the program. Ultimately, this initiative serves as a highly replicable model for circular economy practices in regions facing similar biomass management challenges.

Abstract

Production processes in traditional blacksmith workshops often neglect Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) due to unmonitored exposure to smoke, dust, and extreme temperatures. This program aims to enhance workplace safety at Dapur Setiawan, Tulungagung, through the development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based environmental monitoring system. The system is designed to monitor dust concentration, smoke levels, room temperature, and furnace temperature in real-time via an Android application. The development methodology included hardware design using integrated sensors, Firebase database synchronization, and functional testing. Evaluation results showed that all sensors operated accurately, with responsive danger notification systems and buzzers. Field evaluations revealed that while temperature and smoke levels remained normal, dust concentrations during production hours reached "unhealthy" levels. The implementation of this technology allows partners to monitor working conditions precisely and rapidly, providing a data-driven basis for improving ventilation systems to minimize workplace accidents and occupational diseases.

Abstract

Fruit leather is a type of processed food product made from fruit pulp that is dehydrated to a moisture content of 10-15%, providing a shelf life of up to 12 months under proper storage conditions. Banjarsari Village is a strategic agricultural area with significant potential for melon cultivation; however, the downstream processing of harvests remains suboptimal. Melons that fail to meet market standards (low-grade) are often discarded or sold at extremely low prices, potentially leading to organic waste and economic losses. This community service program aims to enhance the income and welfare of the Banjarsari Village community by providing training on processing local melons into healthy snacks, branded as "Meloop" fruit leather, and assisting in marketing through digital retargeting technology. The program's implementation stages included socialization with melon farmers and PKK (Family Welfare Movement) members, training on processing technology using food dehydrators, vacuum packaging techniques, and digital marketing management. The results indicated that the partners successfully understood and implemented fruit leather production, vacuum packaging, and digital marketing strategies, as evidenced by an average post-test score exceeding 7. The implementation of this program successfully transformed non-marketable harvests into high-value economic products while supporting a green lifestyle through agricultural waste reduction (zero waste) in Banjarsari Village, Bandarkedungmulyo, Jombang.
