Abstract

Snack food agro-industry is a potential agribusiness to be developed. Agro-industrial activities produce fresh waste that has yet to be utilized. This waste is in the form of organic solid and liquid waste. Waste left or disposed of will result in pollution. The solution to solve these problems is that waste can be recycled, reduced, and reused, named the 3R concept. This community activity involved advanced service methods, including education and demonstrations to apply the 3R concept for waste—further, the activity team also handovers decomposers and some useful equipment’s for making compost. About ten snack agro-industries attended this service activity. The extension service has provided an understanding to the snack agro-industry regarding implementing 3R and alternatives to reduce the amount of their fresh waste. Demonstrations were related to recycling solid waste into compost and assembling filtering equipment to purify liquid waste. This agro-industry counselling needs to be sustained to consistently apply the 3R concept in the production activities carried out.

Abstract

Reproductive health is a topic that needs to be known in adolescents because there is a critical period that is both normative and maladaptive in adolescent development. Junior high school (SMP) students are categorized as early adolescents (12–15 years old). Their characteristics include unstable behaviour, tending to be emotional and unrealistic, and being a critical period for various information so that they can experience problems such as promiscuity, teenage pregnancy, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and others. Grade 7 students at SMP Ma'arif Borobudur have not yet received information about reproductive health. The method used was providing reproductive health education using multimedia and group discussions. The sub-topics of this health counselling consisted of material on introducing reproductive organs, sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy, premarital sex, and healthy reproductive tips. The activity was carried out in four stages: problem assessment, socialization of plans, education, and evaluation. The activity improved knowledge among adolescents about reproductive health, seen in pretest results with a mean of 81.08 and posttest scores of 86.70 in the range of 0-100. It shows that reproductive health education can improve adolescents' knowledge, so this activity needs to be carried out periodically.

Abstract

Community empowerment initiatives are pivotal in bolstering the financial stability of rural communities, particularly those facing challenges in marketing local products such as fresh milk. One of the strategic actions taken for the village populace involves enhancing the marketability of Etawa goat milk—a product with significant demand. The principal objective of this service activity is to inject innovation into the sales techniques of Jegglik Village's community outputs. It was achieved through the creation of distinctive logos or labels and leveraging Google Maps to extend the customer base, thereby amplifying the visibility of Etawa goat milk production far and wide. The approach employed in these community service efforts was Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), which focuses on fostering social cohesion and enabling community-led environmental and economic development, also known as Community-Driven Development (CDD). The outcomes of this initiative have been markedly positive, yielding beneficial impacts for the community, such as expanded market reach and the ability to forge contractual relationships with milk production enterprises.

Abstract

Stunting is a major nutritional problem in Indonesia because it will have a long-term impact on the quality of human resources. Stunting impacts intelligence levels' susceptibility to disease and reduces productivity, hampering economic growth and increasing poverty and inequality in the future.

The method used monitoring, counselling, and intervention methods for toddlers. Respondents were taken by total sampling: all toddlers in the working area of ​​Posyandu Harapan Ibu 6. Based on the results of monitoring the nutritional status of the 64 toddlers, about 62.5% have had standard nutritional status, and 37.5% have nutritional problems. There are seven toddlers (10.9%) experienced stunting, two toddlers (3.1%) had poor nutritional status, 15 toddlers (23.4%) experienced malnutrition, eight toddlers (12.5%) experienced underweight, and two toddlers (3.1%) experienced the most underweight.

Abstract

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are essential for economic growth, especially in rural areas. However, many MSMEs need help marketing their products, including Geplak Salak MSMEs in Jengglik Village. Mentoring aims to assist in marketing by utilizing social media and product labels to increase market reach and product selling value. The assistance was carried out in March-April 2022. The target of the assistance was MSMEs that produce food using snake-fruit as the primary ingredient, which was processed into ready-to-eat food, namely Geplak Salak. This assistance used an asset-based community development (ABCD) approach to improve marketing strategies through training in social media. The result of this training was the creation of a product logo that suits the preferences of MSME owners and increased product exposure on the Instagram and Facebook platforms, which can help expand the product's market reach. In conclusion, promoting social media can be an effective solution to overcome the marketing challenges MSMEs face.

Abstract

One of the nutritional problems faced today is stunting, a condition in which a child's growth is restricted due to a lack of adequate dietary intake. Providing nutrition education to mothers of toddlers with stunted children is crucial in overcoming this problem. This activity aims to increase mothers' nutritional knowledge of toddlers with stunted children in Nanggalo District, Padang City. The method used education through counselling and local food recipe books. The target group of this activity was 22 mothers of stunted toddlers. The results of this activity were effective in enhancing mothers' understanding and awareness of the importance of balanced nutrition for children. These results can be seen from the answers given by stunted toddler mothers, who initially did not know but became aware, with correct answers reaching 90% after the counselling sessions. The counselling methods allow mothers to understand more deeply the concept of nutrition and the nutritional needs of children. Food recipe books are a source of information that mothers can access again at home, providing practical guidance in choosing and preparing healthy foods quickly and affordably. With a holistic approach through counselling and food recipe books, it is hoped that mothers with toddlers can have better nutrition knowledge, implement changes in family eating patterns, and ultimately help overcome the problem of stunting in their children.

Abstract

Adolescents are exposed to a variety of stressors during the challenging adolescent transition phase. Nowadays, adolescents are more susceptible to mental health issues, which are reportedly becoming more prevalent globally. Involve schools in initiatives to address adolescent mental health to raise teenage understanding and awareness. Adolescents' mental health status can be assessed by mental health screening and education, and mental health education can help them know more about their mental health. This activity aims to expand students' awareness of mental health issues at public junior high schools in Padang. The IDASS-Y adolescent health self-reporting instrument was used to implement the intervention. The dissemination of information about adolescents' mental health issues and strategies for preventing them served as the basis for educational initiatives. According to the activity's findings, 25 students in Junior High School had mild depression (92.6%), one who had moderate depression (3.7%), and one who had severe depression (3.7%). The prevalence of anxiety among SMPN 23 students was 25 mildly anxious individuals (92.6%) and two moderately anxious individuals (7.4%). Twenty participants (74.1%) reported light stress, six (22.2%) reported moderate stress, and one (3.7%) reported severe stress. The knowledge score has improved before and during mental health education—the importance of involving schools in mental health management, including education and screening.

Abstract

The stunting rate in toddlers is still high in West Sumatra Province, including Padang City. These nutritional problems are inseparable from the mother's role in maintaining her health and nutrition before, during, and after pregnancy or childbirth. Nutritious food is recommended to meet the mother's needs and the fetus's growth and development. The activity aims to increase mothers' understanding of the consumption of nutritious food during pregnancy and their ability to apply it in their daily lives. The activity was carried out through nutrition education accompanied by individual counselling from house to house in the work area of the Public Medical Center in Belimbing, Padang City. Leaflets were distributed to pregnant women to help them understand the material presented. A total of 20 pregnant women were involved in this activity and were enthusiastic about it, as can be seen from the questions asked of the educators. The activity resulting in this education effectively increases the mother's knowledge. With personal communication, this problem can be overcome. Thus, mothers with malnutrition will better understand the nutritious food that must be consumed.
