dc.description.abstract | Jember is part of East Java with 65% of the area dominated by
agriculture. Agricultural waste produced from various crop commodities in
each region has a large amount of biomass. Hope farmer groups located in
the Ledokombo area, precisely in Slateng Village, have a group of 25-30
members with an area of 15-30 hectares. The potential for waste generated
from each crop commodity in farmer groups is expected to be abundant
after each harvest and most of it is not utilized properly and is sometimes
spread by the side of the road. The aim of the service program is to provide
counseling and training on the use of agricultural waste as organic fertilizer
and mulch. Community service activities were carried out in the Hope
Farmers' Group, Slateng Village, Ledokombo District, Jember Regency
from July to August 2022. Service activities were carried out through
several methods, namely counseling/socialization, and training. Among
85% of participants were very satisfied and 15% satisfied with the material
presented and 90% of the participants supported about the sustainability of
the program and could carry out training activities with different programs. | en_US |
