Enhancing Farmer Capacity Through Socialization and Training on Biosaka Elicitor Production in Telaga Biru District, Gorontalo Regency
This community service activity aims to improve the capacity of farmers through socialization and training in the production of Biosaka elicitors in Telaga Biru District, Gorontalo Regency. Biosaka is a natural elicitor produced by the manual crushing of healthy plants in pure water, not fertilizers, hormones, or enzymes, thereby triggering the plant's natural defense response and holistically improving soil health. The activity was carried out on April 26, 2024, at the local Agricultural Extension Center (BPP), involving a group of farmers selected based on their high dependence on synthetic chemical inputs. The methodology of the activity combined interactive lectures, reflective discussions, and hands-on training guided by agricultural extension workers. The results showed that all participants were able to correctly understand the concept of Biosaka and successfully produced the elicitor independently with consistent quality—characterized by visual features (no sedimentation, no foaming, thick and shiny appearance) and an increase in the average Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) value of 250–350 ppm. Beyond the technical aspects, this activity built collective awareness of the importance of reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers and transitioning to sustainable agricultural practices based on local resources. By actively involving farmers and supported by local agricultural extension workers, this activity became the first step towards realizing more independent, environmentally friendly, and equitable agriculture in Telaga Biru District.

Optimization of Livestock Waste Through the Production of Liquid Organic Fertilizer from Animal Feces as an Ecological Step in Kalikuning Village
Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) is the utilization of animal fecal waste, which contains nutrients and beneficial microbes that can be applied to plants. The animal feces are mixed with EM4, which serves as a source of microbes, while molasses comes from sugar production waste and functions as food for the EM4. By doing so, mixing livestock manure with these materials and then fermenting them for 7 days allows them to be used on plants, making them more fertile. This activity is used as an ecological step to reduce environmental pollution that can cause unpleasant odors and serve as a breeding ground for disease. The activity was conducted using Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) through the Student Community Service Program for Community Empowerment (KKN-PMM) for farmer groups and livestock breeder groups to increase harvest yields and reduce unpleasant odors released along with animal feces. The community of Kalikuning Village, especially farmers and livestock breeders, gained knowledge about making liquid organic fertilizer to improve soil fertility for their crops. Conclusion: The community of Kalikuning Village gained new knowledge and insights into spraying liquid organic fertilizer to achieve good crop quality through the transfer of knowledge from the UNSOED KKN-PMM Team to the local residents.

Simple Downflow Water Filtration System in Sasake Village
The availability of clean water needs to be a special concern in the community, because there are several cases in various regions in Indonesia where the availability of clean water sources becomes difficult to obtain during the long dry season, one of which is in the West Nusa Tenggara region, specifically in Sasake Village, Praya Tengah District, Central Lombok Regency. The main water source used in Sasake Village is PDAM water. However, in recent years, several villages in Central Lombok Regency have experienced drought, making it difficult to obtain clean water. The BPBD of Central Lombok Regency must prepare clean water at the peak of the dry season for several villages, including Sasake Village. Alternative water sources in Sasake Village are wells and the Batujai Reservoir. However, at the peak of the dry season, the water in several wells becomes cloudy and smelly, so residents cannot use it as clean water. This community service initiative seeks to implement a user-friendly downflow water filtration system designed for community-level ownership, operation, and maintenance. The design of this filter uses a 4" PVC pipe containing filter media, including sand, palm fiber, charcoal (activated carbon), and cotton. This physical water purification process excludes chemical and biological reactions, relying instead on gravity-driven separation of suspended solids from the fluid phase. Based on the filtering results, it is known that this tool can reduce turbidity concentration by 69.3% and eliminate odors. According to the evaluation results of the counseling participants, there has been a significant increase in understanding of simple water filtration methods. Counseling regarding this water filtration tool is crucial so that the community can overcome clean water problems independently.

Dispute Prevention in Culinary Business Transactions: An Introduction to ADR/Arbitration Clauses for MSMEs
This Community Service Program aimed to introduce the concept of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), particularly arbitration, as a preventive approach in managing business dispute risks within micro, small, and medium-scale culinary enterprises. Culinary-based MSMEs generally rely on trust and informal communication in their commercial transactions, making them vulnerable to conflicts arising from differences in interpretation, delayed payments, price changes, or contract breaches. Through this program, participants were provided with knowledge of the legal position of arbitration as a dispute-resolution forum outside the state court system, the final and binding nature of arbitral awards, and the importance of incorporating simple arbitration clauses into business agreements as a tool for dispute prevention. The activity was implemented using a combination of lecture, discussion, and question-and-answer methods. The results show that participants demonstrated a high level of interest due to limited access to information related to non-litigation dispute resolution mechanisms. Participants also acknowledged that inserting simple arbitration clauses—even in order forms commonly used in day-to-day operations—constitutes a realistic approach. This program has encouraged an increased awareness of the need for more structured contractual practices as part of improving business governance among MSMEs. It is expected that this knowledge could stimulate MSMEs to develop transactional systems that not only rely on trust but are also equipped with adequate preventive instruments, thereby strengthening the stability, security, and competitiveness of their business practices.

Socialization of the "Three Green Pillars" Program in Empowering Dharma Wanita
This research was conducted to explore the environment and culture of Tobongon Boltim village. This research also aligns with the theme assigned by the university to our Community Service Program students. We used observational, ethnographic, and historical methods. We used observational methods, observing directly how the community engages in gardening and plastic waste processing. In addition to observational methods, we also employed ethnographic methods, focusing on the community and specific groups in understanding natural or non-chemical pesticides. Furthermore, we used historical methods, which involved listening to stories from local residents who frequently visited our post. Using these three methods, we discovered that the Tobongon village community rarely uses natural pesticides and disposes of a lot of used cooking oil, which then hardens and clogs the drains. We also heard that children in Tobongon village hold daily TPQ (Quran study parks) during the day. Therefore, we took the initiative to create Syu'batul al-Lughatul Arabiyah in the afternoons to help the children learn to write the hijaiyah letters correctly. In addition to teaching the hijaiyah alphabet, we also teach Arabic vocabulary to familiarize them with vocabulary in other languages. Throughout our work program, the Tobongon village community has been very enthusiastic and has provided significant assistance. Nearly all of our programs have been implemented successfully.

Empowering Kadilanggon Village-Owned Enterprises through Dissemination of Undegradable Nutrients (RUNs) Rumen Supplement Technology to Increase Livestock Productivity in Klaten Regency
Klaten Regency is a food production area designated by the Province of Central Java. Livestock farming has the potential to be developed to improve the community's economy. Inadequate feed nutrient requirements have an impact on low livestock productivity. Farmers will also incur additional costs for feed procurement, which increases production costs and tends to be detrimental to farmers. The empowerment program aims to disseminate concentrate feed technology with the addition of Rumen Undegradable Nutrients (RUNs) supplements to the Kadilanggon Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) in Wedi District, Klaten Regency. Rumen Undegradable Nutrients is a feed supplement technology that contains fat protection and protected amino acids (lysine and methionine) to increase livestock productivity. The implementation process consisted of 1) socialization of the program implementation plan, 2) training in the production of RUNs supplements, 3) production of concentrate feed with the addition of RUNs supplements, 4) testing of concentrate feed on livestock, and 5) monitoring and evaluation of program implementation. The empowerment program has increased the knowledge and skills of livestock group members regarding feed and concentrate production methods using RUNs feed supplement technology. Additionally, the developed feed factory has generated economic value and provided employment opportunities.

Gampong Aware of Stunting Through Strengthening Health Posts Based on Technology Transfer in Alue Naga, Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh
Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has long-term impacts on a child's physical and cognitive development. The Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) and the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) reported that the incidence rate of stunting in Banda Aceh in 2023 was 21.7% (Diskominfo Banda Aceh, 2024). This prevalence rate has decreased compared to the previous year, but the achievement in 2024 still does not meet the target set by the Aceh government, which is 14% (Aceh Social Service, 2024). This highlights the urgency of this activity. The goal of the service is to provide direct and interactive education to the community and to enhance the capacity of posyandu counselors through training, as well as to conduct technology transfer in the form of modules and educational videos about stunting. This service has carried out technology transfer in the form of modules and educational videos about stunting, which are used in training health post counselors with the aim of increasing the knowledge and skills of cadres in educating the community. The measurement results show that training and technology transfer in the form of modules and educational videos increased the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of cadres and the community (p<0.05). Strengthening the implementation of this service needs to be carried out through improvements in posyandu procedures and regular monitoring and evaluation. Replication of this service can also be implemented to support program expansion and sustainability.

Improvement of Mushroom Business Management Technique
Sembalun Bumbung Village faces significant challenges in maintaining a stable food supply and achieving economic resilience due to its location in a disaster-prone area. The region is at risk, making it dangerous to clear new land for agricultural cultivation. To address these issues, the Sembalun Mushroom Initiative aims to enhance food security and disaster resilience in the village by improving the quality of mushroom products and providing support in business management. The cultivation of straw mushrooms presents an alternative agricultural development that can support food security and boost the local economy. The advantages of straw mushroom cultivation include the fact that it does not require clearing new land or forests, and it typically yields good market prices. However, farmers in Sembalun Bumbung Village currently lack the knowledge and technology necessary to produce high-quality straw mushrooms and manage their businesses effectively. To help overcome these challenges, a community service team from the University of Mataram is assisting with advanced cultivation technology and business management practices.

Smart Mompreneur: Digitizing Village Women's MSMEs for Economic Independence and Family Sustainability
Rural women's Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the pillars of the family economy. However, the management of village MSMEs is still constrained by low product added value, simple product packaging, and a conventional marketing system. This service aims to empower these MSMEs through an innovative mompreneurship approach to achieve economic independence and family sustainability. The implementation method uses participatory training and technical assistance, including four integrative modules: (1) compost fertilizer production for sustainable agriculture; (2) packaging design and standardization; (3) the creation of promotional materials with Canva; and (4) digital marketing and e-commerce strategies. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants' competencies, especially in transitioning from traditional to digital marketing. Agricultural products, such as chili, melon, and others, after undergoing quality improvement and branding, have penetrated the modern market through sustainable channels, including local minimarkets and online stores. The "Smart Mompreneur" program is effective in digitizing and increasing the economic value of MSMEs. For sustainability, it is recommended to strengthen joint business groups and provide follow-up assistance. This model can be replicated to support gender equality and inclusive economic growth in line with the SDGs.

Effectiveness of Using the Hypnosleep Method in Shaping Children's Character Based on Ibn Kathir's Interpretation of Quran Surah Al-Baqarah Verses 285-286
This Community Service Program aims to enhance the role of parents in shaping their children's character through the application of the Hypnosleep method, inspired by Ibn Kathir's interpretation of verses 285-286 of Surah Al-Baqarah. Current issues in character building show a gap between theoretical religious understanding and the internalization of moral and spiritual values in daily actions. As a solution, Hypnosleep is introduced, a subconscious suggestion technique applied when children are in a light sleep state, when the mind is more receptive to positive suggestions. This program was carried out using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving mothers from the Nurul Amin Religious Study Group in Tangerang, Indonesia, as active participants in every process of planning, implementation, and evaluation. The training provided theoretical insights and practical guidance on how to incorporate Qur'anic values—such as faith, responsibility, belief in God, and Divine love—into Hypnosleep practices based on the understanding of Ibn Kathir. Evaluation showed a high level of participant engagement and satisfaction, as well as an improvement in parents' understanding, skills, and self-confidence in utilizing positive subconscious communication to support their children's character development. These results indicate that Hypnosleep has the potential to be an effective, gentle, and spiritually aligned strategy for instilling Islamic character, as long as it is applied ethically and sustainably within a supportive family environment. The program highlights the potential for collaboration between Islamic spirituality and educational psychology, offering a comprehensive framework for character education that complements formal education. Moving forward, this approach is expected to contribute to the development of young generations with strong Qur'anic character, emotional stability, and moral integrity.
