The community service implementation team plays an active role in helping to improve the understanding and skills of farmer groups regarding optimal waste utilization through counseling, technical guidance, and demonstration plots with this Community Partnership Program PKM) activity. The community partnership program has been welcome and accepted by all group members and the rest community, and it was hoped to increase knowledge and understanding of organic fertilizer processing will have a positive impact on farmers' income.
