The goal of this community service is to improve society and the environment. One type of service that tries to inform the public about eco-friendly methods for handling organic waste is eco enzyme training. Delivering interactive content, giving demonstrations, and getting hands-on experience creating eco enzymes are all part of the implementation strategy. The community's understanding of the advantages and production processes of eco enzymes, as well as their capacity to efficiently handle organic waste, has increased as a result of this eco enzyme training exercise. It is envisaged that following this training, people will be able to incorporate eco-friendly habits into their daily life, lessen the quantity of organic waste that is disposed of, and generally enhance environmental circumstances. The relevance of a participatory and educational approach in altering people's behavior toward the environment is the training's conclusion. By using this method, people can gain practical skills to support environmental conservation initiatives and have a greater understanding of how their actions affect the environment. In addition, cooperation between many stakeholders, including the community, government, and educational institutions, is crucial to achieving sustainable development goals in prudent and long-term environmental management.

Socialization of the Utilization of Salak Fruit Peel as a Potential Natural Material for Periodontal Health for Agricultural Students

Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral health problems and may reduce quality of life if not properly prevented. At the same time, agricultural waste such as snake fruit peel (Salacca zalacca) has potential value because it contains bioactive compounds that may support further health-related research. This community service program aimed to improve students’ knowledge and awareness of periodontal disease prevention and the potential utilization of snake fruit peel as an agricultural-based natural material. The activity was conducted through an interactive lecture involving 40 students from the Agribusiness and agrotechnology Study Programs at Universitas Tunas Pembangunan Surakarta. The program consisted of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test questionnaires based on six indicators. The results showed an increase in all indicators after the socialization. The highest improvement was found in knowledge of bioactive compounds in snake fruit peel, which increased by 55 points, followed by understanding of the potential of snake fruit peel with an increase of 46 points. Understanding of periodontal disease and its prevention also increased by 45 points. These findings indicate that interactive socialization was effective in improving students’ knowledge, awareness, and interest in connecting agricultural waste utilization with oral health promotion and natural product innovation.
