The southern district of Rejowingan in Magelang faces challenges like large dumpstores, poor water quality, floods, and rising food needs. Villagers are working with the Ormawa DPM KM PPK team to address these issues. The government launched the Climate Village Program to improve the region's climate and resilience to natural disasters. Permaculture principles can be applied to organic waste management through maggot cultivation, which reduces waste volume and supports sustainable agriculture. This combination of permaculture and maggot cultivation can be an effective and environmentally friendly model for addressing organic waste and ecosystem sustainability.

This research aims to determine the effect of promotions on the income of clothing businesses in Pasar Baru Panyabungan, Mandailing Natal Regency, North Sumatra. Data collection was carried out through a survey of 56 respondents consisting of market traders, where 35.71% of the respondents were men and 64.29% were women. The majority of respondents were aged between 26-40 years (35.71) and had a high school education or equivalent (62.50%). The results of simple linear regression analysis show that promotion has a significant influence on income, with a regression coefficient of 0.484. This means that every one unit increase in the promotion variable has the potential to increase revenue by 0.484 units. The regression model obtained is Y= 82.586 + 0.484 The validity test shows that all statement items are valid with a calculated r value greater than r table (0.2221), while the reliability test with Cronbach alpha shows a value of 0.685 for promotion and 0.839 for income, which means the instrument used is reliable. In addition, the classical assumption test ensures that the data is normally distributed and there is no heteroscedasticity. The research also identifies challenges such as intense competition and environmental issues in the market. These findings emphasize the importance of effective promotional strategies, supported by government policies that encourage sustainable economic growth in traditional markets.

As people's consumption levels increase, the plastic waste produced will also increase. It's normal if in the future it becomes a serious environmental problem. We need a technology that is able to replace plastic waste into products that have a long life so that they do not return to waste in a short time. Making paving block products from plastic waste is another way of utilizing plastic waste over a long period of time, in order to increase utilization efficiency and reduce the environmental burden on plastic waste and form innovative products into building materials. The most important problem with plastic is plastic waste which cannot be decomposed naturally. Cleaning up plastic waste takes a very long time, and also the use of plastic can hardly be regulated. Based on the results of surveys, interviews and observations conducted on the community around Kuala Village, the community's awareness of waste processing is very minimal and there are lots of piles of plastic waste which can have a negative impact on health and disrupt the preservation of environmental functions, including residential environments, forests, rice fields, and rivers. To reduce the volume of plastic waste that is not managed properly, efforts are being made to utilize plastic waste to make paving blocks in Kuala Lemang Village. to explore the potential for using plastic waste as an alternative material in making environmentally friendly and sustainable paving blocks. Plastic waste collected from the surrounding environment is processed into mixed materials in making paving blocks. This process involves chopping, mixing with conventional materials such as sand, and testing the strength of the final product. Public acceptance of plastic-based paving blocks has proven positive, especially after trials in the local environment. This research contributes to better plastic waste management and offers new economic opportunities in the construction sector, while supporting sustainable development.

Organic waste remains a major issue in several areas as it causes negative impacts such as environmental pollution. One of the causes is the lack of public understanding of how to process organic waste. Organic waste processing can be carried out using BSF maggot. Utilizing BSF maggot for organic waste processing is a form of sustainable benefit. BSF maggot can be used as animal feed, and its residue can be used as organic fertilizer. This study employs a qualitative method to deeply describe the sequence and results of community service activities conducted for the PKK mothers' community. The community service was conducted in the form of a socialization event aimed at providing an understanding of organic waste processing using BSF maggot and its potential as an alternative chicken feed. The activities included socialization on BSF maggot farming techniques, the role of BSF maggot in processing organic waste, the benefits that can be obtained, and the provision of BSF maggot samples for independent farming. The evaluation results show that all participants understood the BSF maggot farming techniques for processing organic waste and applying it as chicken feed in their surroundings.

Land scarcity in urban areas encourages people to look for efficient alternatives to plant cultivation. Hydroponics, as a soil-free cultivation technique, offers a potential solution. This activity aims to carry out socialization and training on hydroponics to improve knowledge and skills in independent plant cultivation that can support household food security in urban communities. The method used was socialization and hands-on practice of making simple hydroponic systems. The results of the socialization and training showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge of the principles of hydroponics.  The evaluation percentage is 78% of residents of Nginden Jangkungan sub-district, Sukolilo sub-district, Surabaya city are able to independently apply the Hydroponic system in the yard of each house and can take economic benefits from farming through the hydroponic system, but in the application of this hydroponic system requires high production costs, so that people pay more attention to the use of input allocations used to get more added value. Hydroponics is one of the sustainable agricultural efforts in urban environments that have limited land with the introduction of hydroponic systems, socialization, and application practices in urban areas that have been implemented.
