2025-11-21T00:44:56+08:00

The Farming Club Unit (UFC) is a student organization that focuses on sustainable agriculture through hydroponic cultivation. However, limited business diversification has hindered its economic potential, necessitating innovations to strengthen the institution and increase revenue. One promising solution is the farming of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots as an alternative for organic waste management and sustainable animal feed production. This community service program was implemented using a participatory-educational approach, which included lectures, interactive discussions, BSF farming demonstrations, and independent maintenance practices conducted by participants under the guidance of the service team. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test instruments, analyzed descriptively, and supported by gain score calculation to measure program effectiveness. The results revealed a significant improvement in participants' knowledge, from an average pre-test score of 31.0% to a post-test score of 95.3%, with an average gain score of 0.92 (in the high category). These findings indicate that the training effectively enhanced the capacity of UFC managers in mastering BSF maggot farming skills. The implication of this program is the creation of opportunities for UFC to diversify its business, generate additional income, and contribute to reducing organic waste generation through sustainable agricultural practices.

Penyuluhan penanganan panen dan pasca panen padi gogo di Desa Pollewani, Kecamatan Tubbi Taramanu, Polewali Mandar

Polewali Mandar Regency comprises 16 sub-districts, with the most significant administrative area being Tubbi Taramanu Sub-district, which is one reason this region remains less "touched" by the local government. One of the main agricultural products of the residents of Tubbi Taramanu Sub-district is upland rice with a yield of 3.97 tons.ha^–1 in 2023. However, this yield, compared with other major food crops, is still much lower than that of cassava, paddy, and corn. One effort to reduce harvest loss, especially for dryland rice, is to implement good harvesting practices and technology, as well as good post-harvest handling and technology, thereby ensuring that low productivity can still guarantee stable food availability for the residents of Tubbi Taramanu Sub-district, especially in Pollewani Village. This community service activity was implemented through extension services, which included providing materials and facilitating interactive discussions. The counseling sessions were evaluated using questionnaires administered before and after the sessions. The evaluation results showed an increase in farmers' knowledge, as evidenced by the average participant score rising from 45.88 to 62.94.

Pelatihan sistem akuaponik berbasis sumbu menggunakan limbah di Desa Simbang Wetan, Kabupaten Pekalongan

Simbang Wetan Village faces a dual challenge: the accumulation of unmanaged flannel waste from the local convection industry and the need to enhance household-level food security. This community service activity aimed to transfer appropriate technology in the form of an innovative aquaponics wick system that utilizes flannel waste as a key functional component. The method employed a participatory learning approach, combining presentations, hands-on practice, and discussions. This activity was conducted on September 8, 2025, at the Simbang Wetan Village Hall, involving 24 residents. The program's success was measured quantitatively using pre-test and post-test instruments. Data analysis revealed a highly significant improvement in understanding and skills. Specific knowledge regarding the function of flannel fabric as an aquaponics wick surged dramatically from 8.3% in the pre-test to 100% in the post-test. Similarly, practical understanding of assembling the system from recycled materials increased from 4.1% to 87.5%. These results indicate that the workshop was highly effective in transferring knowledge and shifting the community's paradigm towards waste management. The broader adoption of this technology at the household level, along with continuous mentoring, is recommended to ensure program sustainability.

Pembuatan kompos dari daun lamtoro dan serbuk kayu di Green House Universitas Sulawesi Barat sebagai media pembelajaran bagi mahasiswa

Using inorganic fertilizers can increase crop productivity, but excessive and continuous use can degrade soil and cause environmental pollution. To overcome this problem, compost from lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) leaves can be an environmentally friendly alternative solution. This activity aims to explain the process of making lamtoro leaf compost and its impact on soil fertility and plant growth. Through this activity, organic fertilizer has been produced in the form of compost from lamtoro leaves and wood dust, which is suitable for use as fertilizer. The manufacturing process includes collection, chopping, mixing with an organic activator, and fermentation until the compost is mature. From this activity, students can gain a direct understanding of compost production and the importance of using local organic materials for sustainable agriculture.
