Community service is the implementation of knowledge aimed at addressing societal issues. Universitas Negeri Malang is committed to engaging in these community service activities as part of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. One of the initiatives has been undertaken by a team of lecturers and students from the Biotechnology Study Program of FMIPA UM in the village of Samar, Tulungagung Regency, where the main training event took place on Monday, June 10, 2024.
As a fostered village of UM, the women of the Samar village PKK group mentioned that, until now, fruit and vegetable waste from daily cooking activities has just been discarded. The Biotechnology Program team from UM saw an opportunity to utilize this organic waste to produce eco-enzymes. “The fermentation technique used in the production of eco-enzymes will result in a brown, acidic liquid that can be used as a multi-purpose solution, ranging from a cleaning agent to an insecticide and even a fertilizer,” said Dr. Norman Yoshi Haryono, the head of the activity team, to the participants.
A positive response was shown by the participants during the dissemination session, where they were directly trained in the relatively easy process of making eco-enzymes. Enthusiasm was also displayed by Mr. Rubik Astono, the Head of Samar Village, who advised all participants of this community service activity, “My hope is that the women can continue making eco-enzymes at home and that this training activity doesn’t end today. Moreover, if the production of eco-enzymes can be coordinated into one of the flagship products of Samar Village,” he concluded. This community service activity, focusing on processing waste into marketable products, represents UM’s support in realizing the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly concerning climate action (point 13) and life on land (point 15).

BENEFICIAL: Training Atmosphere of UM in Jatirejoyoso Village, Malang Regency
The Community Service Team of Universitas Negeri Malang (UM), consisting of lecturers and students from the Biotechnology Study Program, Department Applied Science, Faculty of Mathematics and Sciences, held a training on making organic fertilizer from agricultural waste for plant fertilizers in Jatirejoyoso Village, Malang Regency. This activity, which took place at the house of the head of the Family Welfare Empowerment of Jatirejoyoso Village last Wednesday (12/6), was attended by the women of the Family Welfare Empowerment of Jatirejoyoso Village.
Mrs. Didit, as the head of the Family Welfare Empowerment of Jatirejoyoso Village, stated that Jatirejoyoso Village is predominantly inhabited by farmers. Therefore, the training on making organic fertilizer from corn husks and straw waste is very suitable as a skill set for the residents. Until now, corn husks in Jatirejoyoso Village have been limited in use, primarily as animal feed, and have not been used as fertilizer, the same goes for straw, said the Family Welfare Empowerment chairwoman. Hence, the Community Service Team, led by Ratna Juwita Ph.D, innovated by turning corn husk and straw waste into liquid organic fertilizer for environmentally friendly agriculture.
The training activity on making organic fertilizer from agricultural waste also provided new business ideas for the Family Welfare Empowerment women. The Family Welfare Empowerment women in Jatirejoyoso Village, Malang Regency were very enthusiastic about participating in the training and mentoring, as evidenced by the numerous questions asked by the participants. Each participant received a brief tutorial on how to make the organic fertilizer. Ratna hopes that after the training ends, the Family Welfare Empowerment women can practice making organic fertilizer at home and that one day it could become a product of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises in Jatirejoyoso Village. “We provided a set of fermentor equipment and also gave the products we had produced on a small scale to the training participants,” she stated. Ratna also hopes that this training activity can improve the skills of the Family Welfare Empowerment women in Jatirejoyoso Village. “The results of the survey filled out by the participants showed a desire for more training utilizing other village potentials,” she concluded.
