dc.description.abstract | One problem faced by the community in Sukamakmur Village, Ajung District, East Java, is that its
youth groups do not have a program to improve the community welfare. Another issue is the lack
of public knowledge regarding the use of potential resources, including water resources. The newly
established BUMDes and youth organization seem not to have any business programs, which has
become an obstacle to the efforts to improve the welfare of the rural community. To address these
problems, a community service program was conducted to assist the youth groups, karang taruna,
by empowering them and developing agro-sociopreneurship. Given the abundant water resources,
they can be used to apply the biofloc technology for catfish farming. The activities in the program
included needs analysis using the ABCD analysis of the FGD sessions, education on agrosociopreneurship, training, monitoring, and evaluation. The result showed that through the agrosociopreneurship mentorship, (i) as many as 33% of karang taruna members and livestock farmers
attempted to engage in agro-sociopreneurship and (ii) livestock farmers have been able to apply
biofloc technology in catfish farming. | en_US |
