unpleasant odors, and increased dependency on chemical fertilizers and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The main constraints are limited knowledge, skills, and access to waste processing technology. This community service program aims to optimize the utilization of cattle waste as organic fertilizer and alternative energy through the implementation of the Sustainability Techno-Integrated Agrofarm model. The method employed involves a participatory approach through extension, training, consultation, and the application of the appropriate MetaCow technology as a household-scale biogas digester. Program success was evaluated using pre-test and post-test instruments, analyzed by n-gain and paired sample t-test to assess improvements in participants’ knowledge and skills. The results demonstrate a significant enhancement in the community’s ability to process waste into economically valuable organic fertilizer and biogas, while also strengthening the institutional capacity of Sanggar Tani as a center for sustainable agricultural technology learning. This program contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in clean energy, sustainable production, and environmental preservation.

ough the utilization of agricultural waste. The main problem faced by the school is the lack of integration of environmental potential into the curriculum, resulting in limited opportunities for children to gain direct experience in processing local resources. The activities were carried out through socialization, teacher and student training, implementation of simple technologies, mentoring, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The training materials included compost production, handicrafts made from agricultural waste such as dried banana leaves and corn husks, and digital promotion through social media platforms. The results of the program indicate improvements in three main aspects. First, teachers and students demonstrated increased knowledge regarding the concepts of ecotourism and waste management. Second, there was a positive shift in attitudes, reflected in stronger environmental concern and higher interest in entrepreneurship. Third, skills in processing agricultural waste developed, although they still require continuous improvement. Furthermore, community involvement contributed to the establishment of a holistic, empowered, and sustainable educational ecosystem.

e era of digital transformation, when tourism villages are required to adapt through technology-based smart tourism approaches, digital promotion, and information services. One area with significant potential is Lembar Selatan Village in West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Surrounded by 70 hectares of mangrove forest, a coastline, marine life, and well-preserved local traditions, the village has the potential to be developed into a coastal ecotourism destination. The Lembar Selatan Ecotourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) has begun managing tourism based on conservation and environmental education. However, obstacles remain, such as low digital literacy, the lack of an online promotion and reservation system, and limited destination management training. These conditions impact market reach and low tourist visits. Therefore, Community Service (PKM) activities are designed to increase Pokdarwis capacity, strengthen tourism digitalization through websites and promotional media, and encourage local community empowerment. This program is expected to realize inclusive, participatory, and sustainable coastal ecotourism, as well as strengthen the competitiveness and branding of Lembar Selatan Tourism Village.

HSAR Jaso Danau in Nagari Tikalak, Solok Regency, experienced a 35% decline in sales turnover over the past two years due to limited digital marketing and reliance on conventional sales. In addition, production capacity could only meet about 60% of market demand, with inconsistent product quality caused by the absence of written SOPs. The program was implemented using a participatory approach through stages of socialization, technical training, innovation adoption, and mentoring. The main focus included the development of production SOPs, logbooks and digital bookkeeping, organizational structuring, and digital marketing strategies using websites, QR Codes, and social media. The results revealed significant improvement in five key aspects: business recording, production, distribution, branding, and digital marketing. The average score increased from 2.7 (fair) in 2024 to 4.0 (good) in 2025, with the highest achievement in business recording and digital marketing through the activation of an official website and marketplace integration. This transformation demonstrates that digitalization of local food MSMEs not only improves product quality and consistency but also expands distribution channels, strengthens competitiveness, and supports the achievement of the SDGs, particularly women’s empowerment, poverty alleviation, economic growth, and sustainable consumption and production.
