Membangun Harmoni: Kolaborasi Masyarakat dan Ilmu Pengetahuan dalam Mengolah Limbah Wortel dan Melati untuk Kesejahteraan Petani

Abstract

Along with the increase in carrot and jasmine production, the amount of waste produced is also increasing. This waste is often disposed of in landfills, which can lead to environmental pollution. In addition, excessive use of chemical fertilizers can damage soil fertility and endanger human health. This service program aims to utilize the remaining fermentation of carrot and jasmine waste as environmentally friendly compost. Carrot and jasmine waste is mixed with other organic matter such as dry leaves and rice husks. This mixture is then fermented for several weeks to produce compost. Compost fertilizer produced from the fermentation of carrot and jasmine waste has a high nutrient content, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This fertilizer is also rich in organic matter that can increase soil fertility and help plant growth. Compost fertilizer from the fermentation of carrot and jasmine waste is an environmentally friendly solution to increase soil fertility and crop yields. This fertilizer is easy to make and can be applied by farmers independently. This fertilizer innovation not only nourishes plants but also creates economic opportunities for partners. A concrete step towards the 12th point of the Sacred Development Goals (SDGs), namely the Consumption and Production of Environmentally Conscious Villages.
