Abstract

Background: Organic waste management in rural areas remains a significant challenge, where household and agricultural waste accounts for approximately 65% of total waste volume, contributing to environmental degradation and increasing greenhouse gas emissions.Aims: This Community Service Program aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Effective Microorganisms 4 (EM4) in converting organic waste into compost in Garahan Village, Silo District, Jember Regency.Methods: The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving 50 households. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and physicochemical analyses conducted during a 21-day fermentation process consisting of anaerobic and aerobic stages.Results: The results demonstrated that the application of EM4 significantly enhanced the waste decomposition process. The final compost achieved a stable temperature of 35°C on the third day, a neutral pH of 6.8, a nitrogen content of 1.8%, and a C/N ratio of 25:1. The program reduced waste volume by 65%, achieved an 85% community participation rate, and produced compost that met the SNI 19-7030-2004 standard. These findings support the implementation of a sustainable bioremediation model that reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers and contributes to the achievement of SDGs 11 and 12.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of hypertension in Banyumas Regency in 2023 was 172,022 people. Rawalo District, specifically Sanggreman Village, ranked eighth in terms of the number of hypertension cases among the productive age group, with 105 people with hypertension.Aims: This activity aims to provide interventions for the prevention and control of hypertension in the productive age group through extension and counseling using flipchart media and anti-hypertension exercises.Methods: This intervention was implemented at a community health post (Posbindu) with 55 people with hypertension. The activity began with a questionnaire for the Pre-test, followed by socialization using flipcharts and anti-hypertension exercises, and concluded with a Post-test. This activity used a pre-experimental approach with a one-group pre-post test design. The sampling technique used accidental sampling. The Pre-test and Post-test methods were used to measure the level of knowledge and attitudes before and after the intervention.Results: The results of a bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon test on the knowledge and attitude variables for hypertension prevention and control interventions in the productive age group yielded a p-value of 0.000 <0.05. This means that the intervention, through socialization and counseling using flipcharts and anti-hypertension exercises, was deemed successful, as knowledge and attitudes improved. There was a significant increase in the difference between the mean Pre-test and Post-test scores, namely 2.15 for the knowledge variable and 1.71 for the attitude variable. This indicates that people with hypertension were able to receive the information provided well through flipchart media. Anti-hypertension exercise is an example of a positive physical activity that can be easily performed by patients as a preventive effort. It is recommended that anti-hypertension exercise and flipcharts be used as health education media to reduce the incidence of hypertension in Sanggreman Village, Rawalo District.

Abstract

Background: Bulotalangi Timur Village is dominated by vegetable farmers who rely heavily on chemical fertilizers, making them vulnerable to fertilizer shortages that can negatively affect crop productivity. Although organic fertilizers derived from organic waste offer a sustainable alternative, farmers’ knowledge and skills regarding their production and application remain limited.Aims: This activity aimed to improve farmers’ knowledge and skills in producing liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) from organic waste as an environmentally friendly approach to enhance crop productivity and support sustainable village development.Method: The activity was conducted in Bulotalangi Timur Village, Bulango Timur District, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province, in October 2023. It consisted of three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The implementation employed training methods that combined socialization and participatory demonstrations to facilitate hands-on learning.Results: The training program was implemented smoothly and received a very positive response from participants, as indicated by their high level of enthusiasm and satisfaction. Participants expressed a strong expectation for the continuation of similar activities in the future. However, several challenges were identified, including limited initial awareness of organic waste utilization and scheduling constraints that led to relatively low participation rates.

Abstract

Background: Bananas are among the most important horticultural commodities in Indonesia. In West Java, Purwakarta is a center of banana production. Farmers rely on traditional propagation and production methods, resulting in low yields and productivity. The main problem for banana farmers is the lack of seed availability, where almost no farmer used seed from tissue culture and only 10% of the respondent did not know about post-harvest processing technology.Aims: The aim of this activity is to improve the skills of farmers in the propagation of banana plants by in vitro culture, banana production, and post-harvest technology. This activity took place in Wanasari, Purwakarta City.Methods: The methodology for these activities was to deliver lectures and conduct practice sessions with farmers on banana propagation, production, and postharvest technology. Additionally, we provided them with a banana plant from in vitro culture.Result: The community service activity showed that the farmers were highly interested and enthusiastic about the technology introduced to them with increasing the post-test score of those audiences. The participants' enthusiasm and confidence in implementing banana cultivation and post-harvest techniques demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the training methods in supporting banana cultivation. This work is expected to empower farmers to manage their gardens and post-harvest banana handling, thereby contributing to economic resilience and food security.

Abstract

Background: The halal industry is a rapidly growing sector with significant potential in Indonesia, particularly in Riau Province, which is known as a center of coconut- and palm oil-based agroindustry. However, halal literacy, especially regarding the Halal Product Assurance System (SJPH) and certification procedures, remains low among vocational high school students.Aims: This community service program aims to improve students’ understanding and competence in halal food and certification through a contextual, practice-based learning approach.Methods: A quantitative method with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was applied to 25 students of SMK Negeri Pertanian Terpadu Riau. Data were collected through tests, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using paired sample t-test and N-Gain.Result: The results showed a significant improvement in students’ scores, with the mean increasing from 72.53 to 88.00 and a t-value of 9.43 exceeding the critical value (2.064) at a 5% significance level. The N-Gain score of 0.56 indicates moderate effectiveness. The program also enhanced students’ higher-order thinking skills in identifying halal critical points and certification procedures. This activity effectively improves halal literacy and can serve as a relevant learning model for strengthening vocational competencies in the halal industry.

Abstract

Background: Climate literacy and actions should be developed from primary-school age, particularly in rural communities where educational and environmental vulnerabilities intersect. This community-service program evaluated the Climate Pioneer School implemented at SDN Kadusewu Kelas Jauh, Rumpin, Bogor, Indonesia, on 20-21 September 2024.Aims: The primary objective of this activity was to strengthen climate literacy and environmental awareness among rural primary school students while encouraging practical pro-environmental behavior.Methods: The intervention combined age-adjusted climate and carbon-footprint lessons, participatory games, tree planting, waste sorting, disaster-risk literacy, a collective environmental pledge, and provision of basic learning and sanitation facilities.Result: The program reached 100 students in grades 1-6 and three teachers, while a descriptive endline survey involved 56 students in grades 3-6. Direct outputs included three symbolic tree plantings, distribution of 50 seedlings, and provision of three segregated waste bins. Aggregated positive responses to the intention to apply learning, material quality, learning media, and teaching methods ranged from 93.75% to 97.62%. In contrast, the recorded knowledge increase was only 0.85%, indicating that positive reactions did not automatically represent cognitive mastery. The discrepancy was interpreted in relation to the two-day duration, heterogeneous age groups, reading ability, and the absence of standardized age-differentiated pre- and post-tests. The program enhanced student engagement and strengthened students’ readiness to adopt environmentally responsible behaviors. The program successfully but sustained outcomes require repeated teacher-led activities, child-friendly assessment, behavior observation, seedling and waste monitoring, and integration into whole-school routines. The core implementation model integrates climate literacy, participatory learning, practical low-carbon actions, and school-based follow-up while allowing adaptation to local needs and capacities.

Abstract

Background: Highland farming in the Dieng landscape faces land degradation and climate uncertainty. Technical recommendations may not endure when authority, work, and benefits are not negotiated among local actors.Aims: This community-service evaluation mapped stakeholder interests, influence, participation, and relationships in a climate-smart agroforestry program in Serang Village, Central Java.Methods: Activities were held on 4–5 October 2025, with 18 attendance records on the first day and 19 on the second. Evidence came from documents, field observation, group dialogue, semi-structured conversations, and UII–UNSIQ team validation.Result: Stakeholders were assessed through a power–interest matrix, salience attributes, and the IAP2 participation spectrum. Farmer groups, UII, and UNSIQ emerged as key players; the village government as a context setter; and KWT/PKK and students as interested actors with limited decision power. Participation remained at involve–collaborate rather than empowerment. Priorities are a joint demonstration plot, stronger KWT/PKK decision roles, village coordination, shared monitoring, and selective engagement with extension and government. The findings also show that combining power–interest, stakeholder salience, and participation analysis can reveal differences in influence that may not be visible from attendance or participation records alone.
