To capitalize on these opportunities, the produced yields must adhere to specific standards, notably organic certification. This community service initiative aimed to enhance farmers' technical proficiency in the production and implementation of organic fertilizers, as well as to improve their capacity in implementing quality control systems. The program was conducted in Gudangharjo Village, Paranggupito District, Wonogiri Regency, utilizing the Farmer Field School (FFS) methodology. The outcomes of this activity include: (1) An increase in farmers' knowledge regarding Javanese long pepper cultivation through the application of both solid and liquid organic fertilizer technologies. (2) The establishment of demonstration plots (demplots) to facilitate direct participation in organic cultivation practices aligned with organic Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). (3) The successful formulation of organic GAP Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) by farmers, serving as a formal guideline for cultivation to ensure uniform and high-quality organic Javanese long pepper production.</em></p> Mutiarra Ridyo Arum, Suswadi; Dewi Rahmawati Intan Permatasari; A.

This activity was motivated by the low level of students’ knowledge and skills in utilizing oil palm plantation land for additional commodities and their limited ability to process agricultural products into value-added goods. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge, motivation, and entrepreneurial interest through jamu production training. The activity was conducted using an interactive lecture method by inviting a jamu MSME entrepreneur as the resource person and involved 50 students of the oil palm education program. The evaluation was carried out using pre- and post-training questionnaires and participant observation. The results showed an average increase of 44% in participants’ understanding of spice crop potential, jamu production processes, business opportunities, and entrepreneurial interest. In addition, 84% of participants expressed interest in independently producing jamu and 78% were interested in developing a jamu business. The activity also increased participants’ awareness of optimizing land use and developing agro-industry-based businesses. These findings indicate that practitioner-based training is effective in improving students’ entrepreneurial capacity and has strong potential to support the development of new sustainable herbal-based enterprises.</em></p> Norbertus Citra Irawan, Dewi Rahmawati Intan Permatasari, Mahananto, Wahyu Hidayat, Adhisty Puri Damayanti, Ermareta Hanasya Rachman Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Community Capacity Empowerment https://ejournal.utp.ac.id/index.php/JCCE/article/view/6309 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 10:49:54 +0700
