SEBACEM SEBAGAI SOLUSI KEBUTUHAN PUPUK PADA PROGRAM PERTANIAN KOTA DI DESA CEMOROKANDANG KECAMATAN KEDUNG KANDANG KOTA MALANG

Abstract

Abstract

Urban farming in the Buring area of Malang faces the challenge of accumulating organic waste from bamboo and pine leaf litter. Despite its potential for processing, this waste has not been optimally utilized. This research aims to optimize the utilization of this waste into organic fertilizer through an appropriate technology (TTG) approach to support sustainable and efficient urban farming activities. The method used is counseling and mentoring in the production of organic fertilizer called SEBACEM Fertilizer (Bamboo Leaf and Pine Flower Litter). The activity stages include: 1) collecting raw materials to maintain environmental cleanliness; 2) fertilizer production to provide new skills; 3) outreach and demonstration plots to provide direct education; 4) utilizing TTG to overcome limitations in capital and raw materials; 5) fertilizer application to increase crop yields and reduce production costs; and 6) ongoing mentoring to support environmentally friendly agricultural practices. As a result, this initiative successfully converted leaf waste into economically valuable organic fertilizer, helping to reduce production costs and improve soil fertility. The positive impact is not only on the economic aspect for urban farmers, but also on environmental cleanliness and improving community skills. This research shows that with an innovative and participatory approach, waste can become a valuable resource that supports the independence and sustainability of urban agriculture.
