Lake Toba, designated as a National Tourism Strategic Area, faces ecological disruption due to the invasive Red Devil fish (Amphilophus labiatus), which threatens the sustainability of native aquatic species. This study aims to enhance the knowledge of the Tapian Nauli farmer group in Hariara Pohan Village, Samosir Regency, in utilizing the Red Devil fish as Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) and processed food. Methods employed include agricultural extension activities, practical demonstrations, pre-tests and post-tests, and evaluation through questionnaires. Results showed a significant improvement in farmers' knowledge after the extension, with 70% moving from the "poor" to "good" category.

Early science education has a strategic role in forming critical and innovative thinking patterns in children as a provision to face challenges in the era of globalization and technological advancement. However, the implementation of the scientific approach at the early childhood education (PAUD) and elementary school levels still faces various obstacles, such as limited teacher knowledge, lack of contextual learning facilities, and teaching methods that tend to be one-way. In fact, childhood is a phase of cognitive development that is very potential to foster curiosity and scientific thinking skills. The low science literacy scores of Indonesian students in international studies indicate the need for intervention from an early age. Therefore, community service programs that aim to build a foundation for children's science from an early age are very important. This program includes teacher training, development of learning media, and exploratory activities based on simple experiments that are appropriate to the world of children. Through this approach, it is hoped that a young generation can be created who not only understand science conceptually, but also have the ability to think critically, creatively, and find solutions in facing problems in the future.

This Community Service activity aims to increase the capacity of women farmer groups (KWT) in developing human resources (HR) in the agricultural sector. KWT plays a crucial role as agents of change in improving food security and family welfare. However, limited knowledge, managerial skills, and access to technology are often major obstacles. The research method used was a qualitative approach with a case study technique. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with KWT members. The results showed that capacity building can be achieved through several strategies, including: 1) Continuous training on innovative cultivation techniques, financial management, and agricultural product marketing; 2) Intensive mentoring by agricultural extension workers in implementing new practices; and 3) Facilitating access to resources such as capital, market information, and appropriate technology. This capacity building not only increases agricultural productivity but also strengthens women's economic independence, self-confidence, and strategic roles in decision-making at the community level. Thus, strengthening KWT in human resource development is an important investment to realize a more sustainable and gender-equitable agriculture. Furthermore, this community service activity highlights the importance of community participation in maintaining the program's sustainability. Active participation by KWT members in every stage of the program, from planning to evaluation, is crucial to ensuring that the program is tailored to local needs and conditions. Through collaboration between KWT, agricultural extension workers, and various other stakeholders, such as microfinance institutions and local governments, it is hoped that an ecosystem will be created that supports the growth and development of an inclusive and sustainable agricultural sector. This program is expected to have a long-term impact, not only on the welfare of KWT members but also on improving food security at the community level.

The rise in sea levels caused by climate change has compelled island nations such as Kiribati to implement strategic policies, including climate adaptation, to address its impacts. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with an analytical framework grounded in the theories of human security and ecofeminism to assess the effects of climate change adaptation strategies on women in Kiribati. Climate change has affected every aspect of human security—from economic conditions to personal safety—posing layered and disproportionate challenges for women, who often bear primary responsibility within the household. The study finds that women are not merely victims but also agents of change and drivers of climate adaptation through advocacy rooted in their lived experiences and environmental knowledge. This research underscores the importance of inclusive, participatory, and gender-just adaptation policies. Only through such approaches can climate crisis responses foster truly sustainable resilience across all sectors of society.

This means that Age (X1), and Parental Education Level (X2) simultaneously (together) have a significant effect on the Financial Literacy variable (Y). Based on the magnitude of the determination coefficient (R Square) of 0.902 or equal to 90.2%. This figure means that the variables Age (X1), and Parental Education Level (X2) simultaneously (together) influence the Financial Literacy variable (Y) by 90.2%. Management study program students are expected to be able to better understand Financial Literacy because this will be knowledge in the future and is also very important for the role of parents. The Adjusted R Square level reached 89.9% and the remaining 10.1% was influenced by other variables outside this regression equation or variables that were not studied or significant
