Integrasi Sampah Rumah Tangga menjadi POC Dukung Ketahanan Pangan Keluarga dan Zero Waste Desa Pontang

2026-02-08T01:06:00+00:00

Household waste issues, particularly organic waste, along with the suboptimal utilization of home gardens, remain significant challenges in supporting household food security in rural areas. This community service activity aimed to integrate the utilization of household waste into liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) and apply it to home-garden vegetable cultivation as an effort to support household food security and implement the zero-waste concept in Pontang Village. The activity employed a participatory approach through the collection of household waste over a 20-day period from partner households, waste segregation and weighing, processing organic waste into LOF, and applying the LOF to the cultivation of short-cycle vegetables such as water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica), spinach (Amaranthus spp.), and caisim (Brassica juncea) in home gardens. The results indicated that, quantitatively, approximately 44.58% of the total household waste generated had the potential to be processed into liquid organic fertilizer, thereby contributing to the reduction of household waste generation. However, home-garden management did not fully achieve the targeted harvest due to constraints related to seed quality, pest attacks, high rainfall, waterlogging, and limited knowledge of garden managers. Nevertheless, the successful harvest achieved in several home gardens demonstrates the potential effectiveness of LOF as an organic fertilizer when supported by appropriate cultivation practices. This activity highlights that the integration of waste management and home-garden utilization requires continuous assistance, the selection of adaptive seed varieties, and strengthening community capacity to sustainably support household food security.

This community service program aimed to improve English learning autonomy and digital literacy skills of 11th-grade students of SMA IT Imam Syafi’i Cendikia Pekanbaru through the use of Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning applications. This issue was raised due to the low level of independence in learning English and digital literacy among Year 11 students at Imam Syafi'i Cendikia Islamic High School in Pekanbaru. The English learning process still tends to rely on teacher explanations and textbooks, so students are not accustomed to learning independently and utilising digital technology optimally.The activity was conducted through three stages: preparation, implementation, and continuous mentoring. The preparation stage involved needs analysis, interviews with English teachers, and material development based on the school curriculum. The implementation phase was carried out through digital media socialization, demonstration, and direct practice using AR applications to support vocabulary mastery, pronunciation, and daily communication. A total of 30 students participated actively in the training and were guided to operate the digital learning applications independently. The final stage involved online mentoring through WhatsApp, email, and phone communication to ensure learning sustainability. This implementation proves that reality ‘enhanced’ through AR is not merely a tool, but a new ecosystem that improves the quality of language education. This technology is considered highly feasible, with a feasibility rating of 93.13% from media experts. Although this simulation is hyperrealistic, its educational impact on students' motivation, confidence, and linguistic mastery is very real.
