Abstract

This community service activity aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of aloe vera farmers in Rendang Subdistrict, Karangasem, in applying organic farming practices. Conducted in October 2025 at Besakih Village, the program involved 15 farmers, local officials, and lecturers from Universitas Pendidikan Nasional. The methods included socialization, participatory discussions, and field demonstrations on compost production. Results showed improved farmer understanding of composting, natural pest control, and water management. Some participants started using organic fertilizers produced during the training, and a village composting group was established. Limited compost materials, water scarcity, and simple tools were identified as challenges. This program highlights the role of university–community collaboration in promoting sustainable agriculture at the local level.
