Women's empowerment is a modern concept that marks progressive changes in efforts to liberate from patriarchal culture, where women's involvement in society was previously very minimal. Efforts to align the portion of involvement of all genders are often referred to as the equal rights movement or women's liberation movement. In Setren Village, women's involvement is still low, with the achievement of SDG 5 point "Village Women's Involvement" only 26.32%. Based on this assessment, our community service work program is focused on increasing women's involvement. We initiated two main programs: empowerment of Village PKK Organizations through the creation of Village Gardens and education on Verticulture planting media, as well as rebranding of Mrs. Sri's Village MSMEs which operate in the soybean juice beverage sector. By partnering with the PKK, this women's empowerment organization is expected to be able to contribute to community development. Support for MSMEs also aims to improve the economic and environmental aspects of villages. This research aims to evaluate the results of the women's empowerment program in Setren Village. In contrast to previous research which focused on crafts, our approach uses planting media education and MSME support. The service will be carried out for three months, from March to July 2024, in accordance with the SDGs of Setren Village. The methods used include surveys, discussions and problem identification. Surveys were conducted at the Village Hall and the Village Head's house to obtain initial information. The second visit was made to Mrs. Sri's house to understand the condition of MSMEs.

Coffee is a plantation crop that has long been planted and cultivated in Lombok. Senaru Village, Bayan District, North Lombok Regency is the largest robusta coffee producing area in Lombok with 225 hectares of coffee land. One of the coffee processing places in Senaru Village is the producer of Ayah Senaru Fermented Coffee which still uses the dry sun method with a tool called a widik. This drying method has many disadvantages because it takes a long time, is very dependent on the weather and is unhygienic. The process of drying coffee is the main factor that can determine the quality of coffee, which is why there is a need for technology as a coffee drying medium that is capable of producing quality coffee. Handling after harvest can be improved by applying modern coffee drying technology, namely greenhouses. The aim of this activity is to increase partner profits through an IoT integrated coffee drying greenhouse (GEEOTI) which is able to streamline coffee drying time and produce hygienic coffee skin waste. The method applied is the creation of GEEOTI, socialization of its use and analysis of the impact on increasing partner profits. The results of the research are that greenhouses can have a positive effect in speeding up, flattening the drying process and improving the quality of coffee compared to conventional methods. The waste from the coffee skins produced also becomes more hygienic coffee waste so it can be used as cascara tea. This activity can certainly increase partner profits by up to 100%. The partner's income, which was initially only IDR 5,100,000, was able to become IDR 13,950,000 per month because with the use of GEEOTI there was an increase in the price of coffee and the addition of a by-product in the form of cascara tea from coffee skin waste.
