Abstract

Women Farmers Groups play a strategic role in meeting local food security and empowering women in the agricultural sector. This community service activity aims to empower Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT-Women Farmers Group) Roay Lestari in Tasikmalaya through innovative healthy beverage products made from local ingredients. This activity is carried out based on an analysis of potential situations that have not been optimally utilized to improve the economic welfare of its members. The main problems faced are limited knowledge about processing agricultural products into value-added products, lack of market access, and low entrepreneurial skills. Through a participatory approach, this activity provides training in making healthy beverages using cold-pressed juice techniques, product packaging assistance, and entrepreneurship training. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the knowledge and skills of KWT members regarding the processing of healthy beverage products. Three types of healthy drinks, namely green juice, yellow juice, and orange juice without additives, became the best-selling consumer products, as well as two types of herbal drinks, namely lemongrass lemon tea and turmeric tamarind. KWT Roay Lestari has successfully developed innovative health drink products made from local ingredients, including other derivative products such as spiced tea and rhizomes.

Abstract

Karangsari Village is one of the villages that has developed oyster mushroom cultivation through the Shodaqoh Sampah Group. The effectiveness of this enterprise is not only determined by the technical aspects of cultivation but also by community responses toward oyster mushroom cultivation. This activity aims to analyze community responses to oyster mushroom cultivation and to identify internal and external factors correlated with these responses. Community responses were measured through three aspects: cognitive, affective, and conative. The method employed emphasized a participatory approach. Community responses were collected through focus group discussions (FGDs), questionnaires, and interviews. The data obtained were then analyzed descriptively to determine the tendency of community responses. The results indicate that community responses in the cognitive, affective, and conative aspects were categorized as very good. Correlation analysis showed that age had a significant negative correlation with responses, while income had a significant positive relationship. External factors, such as access to information and social support, had more dominant positive influence on all response aspects. These findings emphasize that the sustainability of oyster mushroom cultivation in Karangsari Village can be strengthened through improving access to information and enhancing community social support.

Abstract

Coconut plays an important role in the economic, cultural, and social life of Ternate City. Coconut is a leading commodity spread across several areas, namely in the Ternate Island sub-district (34.8 ha), Moti (205 ha), Batang Dua Island (365.6 ha), Hiri Island (58 ha), West Ternate (339.6 ha), South Ternate (12.6 ha), Central Ternate (36.7 ha), and North Ternate (26.6 ha). Of these sub-districts, West Ternate sub-district has a wider coconut distribution. The village in West Ternate sub-district that has coconut potential is Kulaba Village. The community uses coconut as its main product in the form of fresh coconut. Meanwhile, waste in the form of coconut fiber has not been utilized. This community service activity can be one solution to the problem of coconut fiber waste that has not been utilized so far and become a solution to the limited supply of planting media in Ternate City. The series of community service activities includes preparation, outreach, and training, covering the entire cocopeat production process, from sorting and chopping to washing and drying to packaging. The final stage is evaluation, which assesses the effectiveness and benefits of the activities.

Abstract

Adolescents are in a development stage characterized by identity exploration and are often easily influenced by lifestyle trends, including cosmetic use. However, many teenagers still have limited awareness regarding the safety of ingredients used in commercial cosmetic products, which may potentially cause adverse effects on skin health. On the other hand, natural-based body care products are increasingly preferred due to their perceived safety and environmental friendliness. This community engagement program aimed to improve the knowledge and practical skills of SMPIT Al-Fikri Makassar students in selecting safe cosmetics and producing natural body care products, namely deodorant spray, deodorant stick, and lip balm. A total of 138 students participated in the program, while evaluation was conducted on 30 representative respondents selected purposively from each class. The program applied the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach by optimizing locally available natural resources. The implementation stages included socialization, education on safe, natural, and healthy cosmetics, product-making workshops, and evaluation using pre-test and post-tests methods. The results showed that the participants’ knowledge increased from 45-53% (pre-test) to 85-90% (post-test). Practical skills in product preparation also improved from 40-45% (pre-test) to 87-90% (post-test). These findings indicate that practice-based training is effective in enhancing cosmetic literacy and empowering adolescents to produce safe and eco-friendly natural body care products. Then, we hope that SMPIT Al-Fikri Makassar students will be able to apply the knowledge and skills gained to make informed choices and adopt healthy practices in their daily lives.
