Abstract

Low selling prices of fresh milk and the rejection of substandard milk by the Milk Processing Industry have reduced the income of dairy groups in Gunungpati, Semarang, and caused environmental problems due to milk disposal. This community service program aimed to increase the economic value of fresh milk through diversification into yogurt products. The program involved entrepreneurship motivation, assembly of a milk pasteurization unit, provision of a yogurt incubator, and hands-on yogurt production training for 20 members of a dairy processing group. The activity emphasized appropriate technology application and skill development to enable independent household-scale production. Results showed improved technical competence in yogurt processing, increased entrepreneurial motivation, and initial product trials for market testing. Fresh milk diversification into yogurt provides an alternative strategy to enhance income, reduce environmental waste, and strengthen community-based dairy business sustainability.

Abstract

Organic waste management in schools remains a persistent environmental challenge that affects hygiene, air quality, and the overall learning climate. In many schools, organic waste is still burned or buried, reflecting limited ecological literacy and insufficient technical capacity to convert waste into productive resources. At the same time, the integration of entrepreneurship education within science learning remains underdeveloped. This community service programme introduced a school-based organic waste management innovation through the P4-E approach (Training, Practice Implementation, Marketing, and Evaluation) to develop greenpreneurship among science teachers and students. The programme involved 50 participants from the Science Teachers’ Working Group (MGMP IPA) and SMP Negeri 1 Slawi, Tegal Regency. Activities included EM-4 biofermentation compost training, practical compost production and packaging, digital marketing development, and financial management mentoring. Findings indicate substantial improvement in ecological awareness, technical composting skills, and entrepreneurial capacity. Participants demonstrated the ability to produce market-ready compost products and implement digital promotion strategies. The P4-E approach functioned as an integrative empowerment model that linked science education, environmental action, and entrepreneurship development. The programme contributes to advancing SDGs 4, 8, 12, and 13 by institutionalizing sustainable waste management practices within the school context.

Abstract

Household organic waste in urban settlements remains a persistent environmental challenge due to limited community-based processing systems and low levels of waste valorization. Many waste management initiatives are still activity-oriented and lack an integrated participatory circular framework that connects environmental, economic, and social dimensions. This community engagement program aimed to develop a Participatory Circular Community Model through the conversion of household organic waste into biofertilizer and Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) feed production in Plamongansari, Semarang, Indonesia. The program applied a collaborative approach involving youth organizations and women’s community groups through structured training, hands-on practice, production mentoring, and evaluation using pre- and post-assessment instruments. Organic household waste was processed into liquid and solid biofertilizer, while carbohydrate-rich residues were utilized as substrate for Black Soldier Fly larvae cultivation. The results demonstrate significant improvements in community knowledge, technical skills, and environmental awareness, accompanied by the production of economically valuable organic fertilizer and maggot feed. The developed model illustrates how participatory circular practices can reduce household waste volume while generating micro-economic opportunities. This model offers a structured framework for sustainable urban waste management and presents strong replication potential for other urban communities seeking environmentally and economically viable waste solutions.
