Coffee marketing by members of Gapoktan Mugi Lestari is currently still limited to offline, so it has a limited market share and is less well-known by the wider community. Coffee, as a commodity with high demand, has a wider market opportunity. This community service activity aims to increase the understanding of farmer group members about the importance of effective online marketing and introducing environmentally friendly packaging as an added value. The activity was carried out at Gapoktan Mugi Lestari, Temanggung, using lecture, discussion, and digital marketing practice methods using Shopee. The level of understanding and knowledge of members was evaluated through pre-tests and post-tests, which showed a significant increase from 63% to 85%, which was analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test. The members' enthusiasm was very good because this activity could open up wider marketing opportunities and improve the household economy. In the future, the activity is expected to help with business licensing, assistance in standardizing coffee product quality, and managing certification, as well as training and counseling on digital marketing strategies. In addition, support is needed from the local government regarding the development of digital infrastructure in agricultural areas as well as digital literacy training, and the provision of subsidies or incentives for farmers who use environmentally friendly packaging.

The threat is that it has to compete with other water tourism in the Sukoharjo and Wonogiri areas. From the results of the SWOT analysis, a decision was obtained to develop the embung into a fishing tourist attraction and floating net cages. Keywords: embung, SWOT, fishing, cages

Abstract

Menstruation is a natural process that all adolescent girls experience. However, many young women feel uncomfortable or experience dysmenorrhea during this time. The main issues surrounding this topic are the lack of information about dysmenorrhea, the underutilization of android applications, and the lack of training on how to use these applications for health purposes, specifically for dysmenorrhea. To address these problems, the proposed solutions include increasing awareness and understanding about dysmenorrhea and providing training on how to use android applications for health, specifically for dysmenorrhea. The goal of this activity is to utilize android-based health applications, such as menstrual cycle reminder apps, to help adolescent girls manage dysmenorrhea and continue with their daily activities. This activity was conducted with 410 students from MTS Negeri 1 Boyolali in grades VII and VIII. The implementation of this activity involves several stages, including socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, evaluation, and planning for program sustainability. The partners' knowledge and understanding were evaluated by comparing pretest and posttest results, which showed an average score increase of 26.2 from 58.18 to 84.34. The students' enthusiasm for participating in the activity was also high, as evidenced by their active participation and application of the knowledge gained. The follow-up plan that will be carried out based on the results of community service includes optimizing the role of the School Health Unit in improving the reproductive health of students through collaboration with local health centers.

Abstract

Paper is a material with various daily applications, as a medium for writing, printing, drawing, wrapping, etc. Although in the digital era the role of paper is increasingly minimal, it cannot be denied that the use of paper continues. Besides being useful, paper also leaves a problematic side when it becomes waste. Paper waste that is tried to be eliminated by burning will cause air pollution in the form of disturbing and dangerous smelling smoke, especially in large and continuous volumes. Recycling paper waste is important in order to prevent and minimize environmental damage due to inappropriate handling. The process of recycling paper aims to process paper waste into "new" paper that can be reused and has a selling value. By utilizing household equipment that is generally available at home, this training activity is carried out through simple traditional methods, namely soaking, blending, to the process of filtering paper pulp and drying. The training was carried out on 45 students of SMK N 1 Trucuk, Klaten. This training produces practical solutions for dealing with paper waste while providing basic provisions for students to be able to recycle used paper, so that the implementation of creativity in the future is useful. With the uniqueness of the visuals of paper that is made artistically, it can also be applied as a material in making handicraft products that have sales value.
