Bagasse Abundance Processed into Mushroom Medium

Bagasse Abundance Processed into Mushroom Medium

COMMUNITY SERVICE: Biotechnology FMIPA UM consist of lecturers and students train empowerment and fFamily welfare women to make mushroom medium from bagasse.

The community service team from Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) has long been dedicated to empowering rural communities through innovative and sustainable practices. The training session in Kebonduren Village, which focused on creating mushroom medium from bagasse, is a prime example of this commitment. Bagasse, a byproduct of sugarcane processing, has been largely overlooked despite its potential. By teaching local women how to repurpose it into a valuable resource, the team not only addressed a waste management issue but also provided the community with a new source of income.

During the training, the participants learned about the nutritional benefits of mushrooms and the economic advantages of cultivating them. Mushrooms are rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a healthy addition to the local diet. The women were shown step-by-step how to prepare the bagasse as a growing medium, inoculate it with mushroom spores, and maintain the ideal conditions for growth. The hands-on approach ensured that each participant could confidently replicate the process at home.

In addition to the practical training, the session included discussions on the broader implications of their work. The team emphasized how this initiative aligns with global efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By reducing waste, promoting sustainable agriculture, and fostering economic growth, the project supports the community in multiple ways. The women expressed their excitement about the potential to turn this new skill into a small business, which could significantly impact their families’ livelihoods.

Looking ahead, Ratna Juwita Ph.D and her team plan to continue supporting the women of Kebonduren Village. They aim to provide further guidance on business development, marketing, and scaling up production. The ultimate goal is to create a sustainable and profitable enterprise that can serve as a model for other rural communities. With the skills and knowledge gained from the training, the women of Kebonduren Village are now better equipped to contribute to their local economy while also promoting environmental sustainability. The positive survey feedback has encouraged the team to expand similar training sessions to other villages in the region, ensuring that more communities can benefit from these innovative approaches.

Encouraging Kebonduren Residents To Engage In Entrepreneurship: Turning Pineapple Peels Into Tepache Drinks To Support SDGS 3, 7, 8, And 15

Encouraging Kebonduren Residents To Engage In Entrepreneurship: Turning Pineapple Peels Into Tepache Drinks To Support SDGS 3, 7, 8, And 15

A team of lecturers and students from the Biotechnology Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Science Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) conducted a training session on making tepache drinks from pineapple peels in Kebonduren Village, Ponggok District, Blitar Regency. The event, held on Saturday (13/7) at the Kebonduren Village Office, was attended by empowerment and family welfare. This activity supports SDGs 3, 7, 8, and 15.

Mrs. Sukarman, the head of empowerment and family welfare, expressed that this training was highly anticipated as it provided new ideas to the empowerment and family welfare women for innovating with the abundant and easily accessible pineapples in Kebonduren Village. Up until now, pineapples in Kebonduren Village have only been consumed as fresh fruit, with the unsold ones used as livestock feed, thus ensuring sustainable land ecosystem utilization, maintaining a clean environment, and being affordable (supporting SDGs 7 and 15). Therefore, the community service team, led by Ratna Juwita, Ph.D., innovated by turning pineapple peels into tepache drinks, which are popular among all age groups and can be enjoyed at any time. “This tepache drink can maintain digestive health, making it good for daily consumption, supporting SDG 3,” she said.

The tepache drink-making training from pineapple peels also provided new entrepreneurial ideas, opening up job opportunities and boosting economic growth, especially in Kebonduren Village (supporting SDG 8). The empowerment and family welfare women of Kebonduren Village, were very enthusiastic about the training and guidance, as evidenced by the many questions posed by the training participants. Each participant received a brief tutorial on how to make tepache drinks from pineapple peels. Ratna hopes that after the training, the empowerment and fFamily welfare women can practice it at home and that it can eventually become a small business product of Kebonduren Village. “We also provided samples of our self-produced tepache on a small scale to all training participants,” she added. Ratna also hopes that this training activity can enhance the skills of empowerment and family welfare women in Kebonduren Village. “From the survey results filled out by the participants, it shows positive feedback, as they feel they have gained additional skills with new knowledge they had never known before,” she concluded.

FMIPA UM Trains Indonesian Migrant Workers in Taiwan on Brewing Tea from Local Fruits to Support SDGs

FMIPA UM Trains Indonesian Migrant Workers in Taiwan on Brewing Tea from Local Fruits to Support SDGs

The Community Service Team from Universitas Negeri Malang (UM), represented by the Biotechnology Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Science, has gone beyond borders by conducting training abroad. This time, the training focused on making fruit tea from local Indonesian fruits as a ready-to-drink beverage at the Indonesian Economic and Trade Office (KDEI) in Taipei, Taiwan.

The event took place directly at KDEI Taipei last Sunday (21/7) and was attended by KDEI representatives Novrizal from the field of protection of Indonesian citizens and cultural-social information, as well as Muhammad Reza Dharmawan from KDEI administration and Indonesian Migrant Workers (TKI) who are part of the Community Learning Activity Center (PKBM) of the Indonesian Student Association (PPI) Taiwan.

The event began with a welcome speech by the principal of PKBM PPI Taiwan, Ir. Ananda Insan Firdausy, ST., MT., M.Sc. Ananda stated that PKBM PPI Taiwan is an institution engaged in non-formal education through package programs, allowing migrant workers to continue their education in Taiwan. “This training aligns with the programs at PKBM PPI Taiwan related to community empowerment, which involves providing training for PKBM PPI Taiwan students, consisting of migrant workers,” he explained. This activity supports SDGs 3, 7, 8, and 15.

Fruit tea training using local Indonesian fruits was chosen because of the abundance and variety of fruits available. However, their use has been limited to fresh consumption and some are dried for chips. During the harvest season, the quantity is abundant and the price is low. Therefore, the Community Service Team from Universitas Negeri Malang, led by Ratna Juwita, Ph.D., innovated by turning them into fruit tea, a ready-to-drink beverage rich in nutrients and vitamins, especially vitamins A and C. “We hope that this fruit tea-making training will provide new ideas for migrant workers in entrepreneurship,” she said.
