Pemanfaatan Limbah Perikanan Menjadi Pupuk Organik Cair sebagai Solusi Budidaya Berkelanjutan

Abstract

The escalation of aquaculture production in Indonesia generates substantial fish waste, contributing to odor and environmental pollution. This community service program at Poklahsar Naminasang Farm & Co., Mandalamekar Village, aimed to educate partners on converting fish mortality waste into Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) through controlled anaerobic fermentation, supporting circular economy principles and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A participatory-narrative approach was implemented through problem identification, stakeholder coordination, module development, and intensive training involving Poklahsar and Eggpartment partners. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants’ knowledge, with post-test scores reaching 100% and a net knowledge increase of 74.20%. The program also enabled participants to understand strategies for reducing accumulated organic waste by 75%, minimizing odor and pathogen risks, and supporting organic agriculture. Furthermore, the village website was utilized as a digital promotion channel to strengthen the market potential of the resulting organic fertilizer as a green community-based initiative.
