Abstract

This community service program was implemented to strengthen the village agribusiness system through environmentally friendly cultivation, institutional strengthening, product downstreaming, and business legalization facilitation. A before–after (baseline–endline) evaluation approach was applied to measure impacts on production, economic performance, institutional capacity, and market access. Prior to assistance, partners faced moderate productivity, high dependence on chemical inputs, weak collective marketing, limited product differentiation, and inadequate financial administration. After phased mentoring, significant improvements were observed. Farmers adopted organic fertilizers and integrated pest management, reducing chemical input costs and increasing productivity from 5.2 to 5.8 tons/ha. Rice was repackaged into 5 kg and 10 kg branded products, increasing selling prices by 35% and farmer profit margins by 62.5%. Horticulture and livestock products were sorted, hygienically packaged, and labeled, expanding market access and increasing margins by 10–25%. Institutional performance improved through regular meetings, structured financial recording, and collective marketing. Overall, the program transformed subsistence practices into a sustainable, market-oriented collective agribusiness model, enhancing economic resilience and social participation within the farming community.

Abstract

Land ecosystem degradation in Wonogiri Regency, characterized by seasonal drought, land degradation, and land use change, requires management approaches based on ecological principles and geospatial technologies. However, the utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in geography education remains suboptimal, particularly at the teacher level. Therefore, this community service activity aimed to enhance the capacity of geography teachers in the MGMP (Subject Teacher Forum) of Wonogiri Regency in understanding regional ecology and integrating GIS into geography learning. The method employed was participatory training based on a service learning approach through workshops, with evaluation conducted using pre-test, post-test, and questionnaires. The activity involved 21 geography teachers. The results showed that the average pre-test score of 9.81 increased to 10.00 in the post-test, representing a 1.94% improvement with an N-gain value of 0.037 (low category). The paired sample t-test indicated that the improvement was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Nevertheless, questionnaire results revealed positive responses from participants, with the majority reporting increased understanding, ease of material comprehension, and readiness to implement GIS in teaching. This indicates that the workshop was more effective in enhancing affective aspects and implementation readiness rather than short-term cognitive improvement. In conclusion, this activity serves as an initial stage in developing geospatial-based teacher capacity. Further intensive and sustainable programs are required to achieve more significant improvements in learning effectiveness.
