Waste management remains a serious problem, particularly in rural areas, which generally have relatively low levels of environmental awareness. Inorganic waste such as plastic, glass, and aluminum is a major concern because it takes hundreds of years to decompose naturally. This situation poses potential long-term environmental hazards, including soil and water pollution, and ecosystem disruption. Therefore, effective educational efforts are needed to raise public awareness of waste issues. This community service activity was carried out in Sarah Perlak Village, Sungai Mas District, West Aceh Regency. The focus of the activity was the installation of educational signs containing information about the decomposition time of various types of waste. Implementation methods included direct observation to identify specific problems at the site, informal outreach to local residents, demonstrations related to waste sorting, and the creation and installation of educational signs. The signs were made from wooden planks and decorated with real waste such as plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and used paper, thus providing a tangible visualization to the community. The results of the activity showed that the visual approach through educational signs was able to attract the attention of residents, both children and adults. The information was presented clearly and accompanied by real-life examples, making the message easier to understand and remember. In addition, direct interaction through outreach and demonstrations provided an opportunity for residents to ask questions and share experiences related to waste management. Overall, this educational medium has proven effective in conveying environmental messages, raising awareness, and motivating the community to start sorting and reducing waste at the source. Going forward, this program is planned to be expanded through training in processing waste into useful products, thereby not only reducing pollution but also providing economic benefits to the community.

This service aims to introduce a hydroponic vegetable cultivation system using the wick method in Sungai Pagar Village. The environment in Sungai Pagar Village is characterized by sandy soil due to the accumulation of peat soil, so plant cultivation activities are still limited. In this context the wick method is adopted as a relevant solution. Training activities were carried out through several stages, including field surveys, delivery of materials, sowing seeds, making AB mix nutrition, making a hydroponic wick system from used plastic bottles, and monitoring and evaluation. The results of the training showed an increase in participants' knowledge about hydroponic cultivation and their abilities in caring for hydroponic plants. Each training participant succeeded in making a hydroponic wick system using used plastic bottles and was given a hydroponic cultivation package to continue cultivation at home. In order to improve food security and the community's economy, this training made a positive contribution by introducing an environmentally friendly and hydroponic vegetable cultivation system. efficient. In conclusion, this training was successful in introducing and training the public in hydroponic vegetable cultivation using the wick method.

Aquaponics is a combined system of fish farming techniques and hydroponic plant cultivation. Fish manure and feed residues are very dependent on the supply of nutrients in the aquaponic system of red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) aquaculture. The level of production of vegetable crops in a certain area is also influenced by the total nutrient input ratio of feed to domestic fish per day. The aquaponic system utilizes optimum water supply for each commodity by utilizing a recirculation system. The type of fish used is fish that live in freshwater, a type of tilapia. Fish farming includes the maintenance of fish, which pays attention to the growth and development of fish. Hydroponics itself is a way of farming without using soil as a medium but using water which contains controlled nutrients containing the essential elements needed for plant growth. The location of this research was conducted in Losari Village, Kec. Gondang, Kab. sleepy. It aims to increase the demand for vegetables, limited land and space, efficiency in land use, and decoration. In addition, this cultivation system allows for increased production of cultivated products with limited land and water sources, and creates its own beauty. (9 pt).

Akibat adanya Pandemi Covid-19, aktifitas masyarakat dari rumah meningkat, maka anggota kelompok PKK Mandalle digiatkan pemeliharaan berbagai jenis tanaman hias lokal maupun import. Terdapat banyak jenis tanaman Hias “berumbi” atau “berbatang bonggol” yang sangat popular dan nilai ekonomi yang cukup tinggi, seperti jenis Alocasia_sp maupun Aglonema_sp. Pelatihan bertujuan membekali masyarakat pengetahuan  teknis perbanyakan dengan cacah bonggol menggunakan Media Non-Tanah (Soilless). Pelatihan dilakukan dengan ijin Satgas Covid19 Kabupaten Pangkep. Pasca pelatihan dilakukan pendampingan anggota kelompok mengenai pasca pembiakan tanaman yaitu Transplanting tanaman kedalam Pot yang baru serta pemeliharaan tanaman yang baik. Tingkat keberhasilan rata-rata lebih dari 80% dimana setiap anggota yang diberi bekal minimal 5 buah bonggol Cacah mampu menumbuhkan setidaknya 4 atau bahkan 5 bonggol menjadi tanaman hias yang ditransplanting dan dipelihara.  Pelatihan Pembiakan Umbi/bonggol tanaman Hias system cacah dan Metode Tanpa Tanah (Soilless) mampu memberi pengetahuan bagi masyarakatdan diharap berlanjut pada masa yang akan datang.
