Pelatihan Membuat Pupuk Organik Cair (POC) Untuk Mewujudkan Pertanian Ramah Lingkungan Di Yayasan Insan Berguna Nusantara Kota Pekanbaru

Abstract

Indonesia is known as an agricultural country where agriculture is the main sector for livelihood. Agricultural land is predicted to decrease in the future, which will have an impact on the yields produced. The condition of agricultural land in Indonesia is currently experiencing a decline in fertility and productivity levels. This is caused nutrient deficit, decreased levels of soil organic matter, and contamination by agrochemicals and waste. Communities consume agricultural products such as chilies and vegetables from their agricultural land. Farmers at the Insan Berguna Nusantara Foundation generally use chemical fertilizers, both urea, and growth regulators, to accelerate crop production. This agricultural system is considered less friendly to the environment and only thinks about production without thinking about quality. This service aims to provide knowledge and understanding to farmers at the Insan Berguna Nusantara Foundation regarding the use of household waste which can be used as liquid organic fertilizer in increasing the growth and production of chili plants. The results of the training and evaluation activities during the activity can concluded that the community welcomes this activity and this activity provides benefits and can improve the skills of participants in processing.
