This study aims to analyze the forms, processes, and impacts of agricultural entrepreneurship service and product innovation conducted by university students on the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Sumbawa Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis as data collection techniques. The participants included student entrepreneurs, agricultural MSME actors, and academic supervisors. The findings indicate that students play a significant role in developing knowledge- and technology-based innovations, particularly through local product branding, digital marketing, and the application of design thinking. These innovations contribute to increasing product value, expanding market reach, and enhancing managerial capacity among MSME actors. However, challenges such as limited resources and low digital literacy still affect the sustainability of innovation programs. The study highlights the importance of a quadruple helix collaboration model—linking universities, local governments, industries, and communities—to establish a sustainable and inclusive agricultural innovation ecosystem.

This study aims to analyze the influence of e-money usage and financial literacy on the consumption behavior of accounting students in Batam City. E-money as a digital payment method has become increasingly popular among the younger generation, while financial literacy plays an important role in effective personal financial management. The study uses primary data collected from questionnaires distributed to 97 accounting students in several universities in Batam, as well as secondary data from interviews with 10 accounting students regarding e-money and financial literacy. The results show a positive correlation between high financial literacy and wise financial management, which in turn influences students' consumption behavior. Additionally, the use of e-money plays a significant role in facilitating transactions and changing consumption patterns. Simultaneously, all three variables have a significant impact with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 38.5%. The findings are expected to provide insights for relevant stakeholders in designing more effective financial education programs and promoting the use of e-money among students.

This Community Service aims to introduce the basic concepts of sharia economics to students at Nurul Hasanah High School. The background to this Community Service is the importance of understanding an economic system that is in accordance with sharia principles among the younger generation, especially in the school environment. Sharia economics, which is based on Islamic values such as justice, transparency and social responsibility, offers an ethical and sustainable alternative in economic management. This Community Service uses an educational approach through counseling, discussions and simulations to provide a comprehensive understanding of concepts such as usury, zakat, mudharabah and profit sharing.Community Service shows that before this program, many students had a limited understanding of sharia economics and often equated these concepts with conventional economics. After participating in the program, there was a significant increase in their understanding of the basic principles of sharia economics, as well as awareness of the importance of applying ethics and moral values in economic activities. In addition, students also show a high interest in learning more and applying these concepts in everyday life, including in personal financial management and business activities.This program is expected to be sustainable and further developed to cover other relevant topics, such as Islamic banking and halal investment, in order to equip students with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in the field of Islamic economics. Thus, this program not only contributes to increasing Islamic financial literacy among students, but also to the formation of character based on the values of justice and social welfare
