Abstract

Waste remains a major issue in various regions, particularly organic waste. Unmanaged organic waste can cause environmental pollution and contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Action on Climate Change), innovative solutions are needed to manage organic waste more effectively and efficiently. Waste banks, as environmental advocates, are currently focusing more on managing inorganic waste because it is considered to have greater market value than organic waste. Black Soldier Fly is an alternative in processing organic waste that has economic value. Community service activities aim to strengthen the economy of the community in Demakan Village, Mojolaban District, Sukoharjo Regency through black soldier fly training as an environmentally friendly and sustainable method of managing organic waste. This activity includes outreach, training, and mentoring for waste bank members in Demakan Village, Mojolaban District, Sukoharjo Regency. The black soldier flies produced can be used as alternative feed for the fisheries and poultry sectors, thus supporting the circular economy concept. This activity is expected to raise public awareness of more productive organic waste management, reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment, and create business opportunities based on local resources. Thus, this activity not only contributes to improving community welfare but also accelerates the achievement of the SDGs through more inclusive and sustainable economic development.

Abstract

Sanggang Village is one of the areas where dwarf coconuts are widely planted, managed by the Karya Makmur farmer group (gapoktan). The young coconut trees can be tapped for sap, which can then be processed into palm sugar as an alternative to granulated sugar. However, the farmer group in Sanggang Village still does not understand the potential of coconut sap and its processing. Therefore, the purpose of this community service is to provide understanding and competency to the farmer group in Sanggang Village regarding the development of dwarf coconut sap processing. The target group of the team is the Karya Makmur farmer group, which is responsible for the maintenance and processing of dwarf coconuts. The methods used by the team are training (socialization and practice), application of technology on tapping coconut sap and processing it into palm sugar using several evaluation instruments, such as pre-tests and post-tests, visual observations, and community testimonials. The results of the community service activities show an 80% increase in community understanding regarding coconut sap processing and its economic potential. These results are accompanied by enthusiasm and increased community skills in processing palm sugar into derivative products in the form of cakes. This community service initiative has sparked enthusiasm and enthusiasm in processing and downstreaming dwarf coconuts, creating valuable products and, hopefully, providing a new source of income for the Sanggang Village community. This initiative has the potential to be developed and expanded into a palm sugar-based product marketing venture, which could be implemented in collaboration with the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDES) in Sanggang Village, specifically for the snack business.

Abstract

The high cost of fish feed has become the main problem in fish farming in Karangasem Village, Bulu District, Sukoharjo Regency. The “GP” Fish Farmers Group has long depended on commercial feed, which continues to increase in price and reduce profit margins. Meanwhile, local raw materials such as tofu waste, rice bran, and fish meal are abundantly available but have not been fully utilized due to the lack of processing technology. This community service program was carried out to implement a floating pellet machine as a solution to support feed self-sufficiency. The method consisted of three stages: preparation, implementation, and monitoring-evaluation. The preparation stage involved identifying partner needs and designing the pellet machine. The implementation stage included discussions, machine assembly, and feed production trials using local ingredients. Monitoring and evaluation were conducted through technical assistance and interviews with the group. The results indicate that the partners were able to operate the machine independently and produce floating pellets suitable for gourami and catfish farming. The use of this machine has proven effective in reducing feed costs, improving farming efficiency, and strengthening the group’s economic independence.

Abstract

Caring for premature infants remains a major challenge for mothers, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Infants born before 37 weeks of gestation require specialized care not only during hospitalization but also after discharge. Unfortunately, many mothers still lack adequate knowledge and skills to independently manage the care of premature infants, especially in key aspects such as safe bathing, maintaining body temperature to prevent hypothermia, providing optimal nutrition, and preventing infection. The limited availability of practical training and health education further constrains the transition from hospital-based to home-based care. This community service program was designed to strengthen maternal competence in caring for premature infants through structured training that combined theoretical instruction with hands-on practice. The activity was conducted at Soediran Mangun Sumarso Regional Hospital, Wonogiri, in May 2025, and involved six mothers with premature infants. The methods included health education, demonstrations, simulation exercises, and pre- and post-training evaluations. The results indicated a significant improvement in maternal competence across the four targeted skills. These findings highlight the effectiveness of practice-based educational interventions in preparing mothers for independent premature infant care. Furthermore, this initiative provides a foundation for developing scalable educational models that can reduce complications and improve the quality of life of premature infants, while empowering mothers as primary caregivers after NICU discharge.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Some Indonesian students aged 10–12 at the Indonesian Embassy in Malaysia's PNF Learning Center (PKBM PNF) still demonstrate low basic literacy skills. This condition is related to family backgrounds that do not have clear legal status due to unregistered marriages and the lack of valid citizenship documents. In addition, parental involvement in accompanying children's learning process at home is relatively low due to the demands of full-time work. This study aims to accompany and improve basic literacy skills through the ABACAGA Guidebook and contextual fiqh materials. The population in this study were PMI elementary school children in grades 1 and 2 with a sample of 20 students. This study used a qualitative empirical method with a participatory approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, pre-tests and post-tests, and direct documentation in the field. The conclusion from the results of this mentoring was able to improve basic literacy skills, strengthen children's learning habits, and introduce basic fiqh understanding such as ablution, prayer, and short readings. Each child we support shows varying levels of progress, proving that all children excel in their own talents, and with the right approach, they can develop optimally, even with limitations.   Keywords: literacy, abacaga method, Islamic jurisprudence

Abstract

ABSTRACT Technological advances in agriculture continue to develop, especially in land optimization. One of these technologies is the development of shade-tolerant plants. This technology is widely used in crop diversification programs such as oil palm plants and shade-tolerant chili plants. Palm oil is a plant that has wide spacing, making it possible to optimize land by planting shade-tolerant chili plants. Chili is a crop that has economic value that can increase finances if the cultivation techniques and farming analysis are appropriate. Planting shade-tolerant chilies can increase finances for oil palm farmers, especially in the young TM phase of oil palm plants. This community service aims to provide education to oil palm farmers about efforts to increase their financial income by utilizing the spacing of oil palm plants planted with shade-tolerant chili plants as well as improving their farming analysis skills. This activity was carried out in Sukaramebaru village, Kualu Hulu subdistrict, North Labuhanbatu district, North Sumatra province. The method used in the community service activities was primary data collection through questionnaires distributed to the community. The questionnaire results showed an increase in public understanding of shade-tolerant plants, land diversification, land optimization, and techniques for planting shade-tolerant chilies.    Keywords: shade tolerant chilies, land optimization, oil palm farmers

Abstract

ABSTRACT Sahabat Petani Porang Sukoharjo (SPPS) is a productive partner engaged in the field of porang and its derivative products. SPPS has successfully processed porang tubers into glucomannan which has added value and potential. However, demand for glucomannan is still low, resulting in a lot of glucomannan being unsold. A community service team from Veteran Bangun Nusantara University, through the Community Partnership Empowerment (PKM) scheme, took the initiative to develop the downstream processing of glucomannan into healthy, low-gluten instant noodles. The main objective of this PKM activity is to be able to develop a derivative product of porang glucomannan in the form of healthy instant noodles. The problem aspect addressed by the community service team is the production aspect of healthy instant noodles. The solution provided is training in making healthy instant noodles, with the hope that SPPS will experience increased product diversity. The stages undertaken by the community service team include socialization and training accompanied by the application of technology and innovation. The results of the PKM activity are an increase in understanding of how to make healthy instant noodles by 80% and an increase in healthy instant noodle making skills by 40%. The resulting product is a healthy, low-gluten instant noodle. Future plans include intensive and regular mentoring for the production and marketing of healthy instant noodles. Keywords: Glucomannan, Porang tuber, Instant noodles, Training, SPPS
