Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Melalui Pemanfaatan Limbah Kulit Bawang Sebagai Pupuk Cair Organik dalam Mendukung Ekonomi Sirkular

Abstrak

Onion peel waste is a type of household and agricultural waste that is abundant but not optimally utilized. In fact, onion peels contain bioactive compounds and minerals that have the potential to be processed into liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). This community service program aims to empower the community through education and training on the production of liquid organic fertilizer from onion peel waste as an implementation of circular economy and sustainable agriculture. The methods used include initial observation, counseling, hands-on training, and mentoring in product application. The activity was carried out at the Gintung Forest Farmer Group, South Jakarta. The results indicate an increase in participants’ knowledge and skills in processing onion peel waste into liquid organic fertilizer. Furthermore, this program enhances community awareness of environmentally friendly and economically valuable organic waste management. This activity is expected to contribute to household food security and community-based circular economy development.
