Puff pastry is a crunchy textured food that has a fragile network of layers made from wheat flour. To anticipate the use of wheat flour, flour from local food ingredients such as pomfret flour and Pisona alba leaf flour can be used. Purpose of the research: 1) Knowing  the level of public preference for puff pastry with composite substitution of pomfret flour and Pisonia alba leaf flour; 2) Knowing the composition of the best formula used in the manufacture of puff pastry composite substitution of pomfret flour and Pisonia alba leaf flour. The methods used in this research are the method of literature, experimentation, documentation, questionnaire, sensory testing, hedonic testing and data analysis. Pomfret flour and Pisonia alba  leaf used as much as 5%, 10%, 15% of the weight of the flour. The results showed that puff pastry with pomfret flour and Pisonia alba leaf flour were the most preferred and accepted by the panelists as products with the composite substitution of pomfret flour and Pisonia alba leaf flour as much as 5%.

Abstract: Wamena is one of the areas with the potential to develop a wide variety of food crops and plantations in large and medium quantities because it is supported by its natural conditions. Wamena, especially throughout Jayawijaya Regency and even other Regencies in the Central Highlands of Papua, are known for their organic farming. In order to support and maintain the productivity of organic farming systems, as an academic activist in the agricultural sector, it is necessary to conduct training on making organic fertilizer through the use of banana weevils known as Local Microorganism Fertilizer (MoL). This training was based on observations of farmer groups in the Wesaput district, where all farmers in the farmer groups had never used organic liquid fertilizers or inorganic fertilizers as additional nutrients to increase the growth and production of their agricultural products. Therefore we try to provide understanding and approaches to farmer groups through community service on how to make Local Microorganism Liquid Fertilizer in order to increase the yields of local farmers in the Wesaput District, especially the village of Kama. As a result of this activity, we saw that the farmer group community in Wesaput gave a good response so they asked for similar activities to be carried out again so that the farmer group community was more independent in making and using liquid organic fertilizer using the natural resources around them.

Utilization of local raw materials available in the market can be the basis for the development of entrepreneurship training activities at the Gembor Farmer Group in the Benpasi area. In the implementation of this activity, it is done by looking for several people who are members of farmer groups or communities in the area to join in developing these activities. This is done to provide knowledge to the community to take advantage of the existing potential so that the resulting product can be sold at a reasonable price at the consumer level and provide hope for an increase in demand for a product. One form of this entrepreneurship is by training to make some processed products or market snacks such as several kinds of cakes which can later be used for the sales process to consumers. This will have an effect on increasing the community's income if the price is sold in accordance with the costs incurred. This training program is carried out by providing a positive influence on knowledge for the community so that in the future they can also play a role in developing these activities.

Tapai is a snack produced from the fermentation process of carbohydrate food as a substrate by yeast. Tapai is a hitz snack with a variety of creations. Each region has potential that can be developed into superior products in that area. These superior products must be continuously developed so that they will become great. The development of this superior product will certainly support the development of the local economy of the area concerned. Local economic development will also support the community concerned to develop. Local economic development that is based on superior products cannot be carried out by entrepreneurs alone, there needs to be a relationship from the government and other stakeholders engaged in local economic development. Government support is certainly needed by making policies that support superior product development policies. Meanwhile, other stakeholders assist entrepreneurs in developing their products so that they can be developed and known outside the region.

Bakpao which is processed with local food ingredients such as arrowroot tubers can increase the economic value and people's consumption power of local food ingredients. Arrowroot tubers can be used as a source of carbohydrates to replace rice and wheat flour. The objectives of this study are (1) to determine the acceptance of the community towards the most preferred rice balls with arrowroot flour substitution. (2) to determine the composition of the ingredients used in the manufacture of rice balls with the most preferred substitution of arrowroot flour. (3) to determine the process of making buns with the most preferred substitution of arrowroot flour. The methods and data analysis used in this research are library, experimental, documentation, sensory test and descriptive data analysis methods. The percentage of arrowroot flour substitution in the manufacture of arrowroot flour substitution buns was 20%, 30%, and 40% of the weight of wheat flour. The overall assessment using the highest ranking of the three samples with the criteria of shape, taste, color, texture, and aroma is the bakpao sample with the substitution of arrowroot flour by 20%.

Stick is a snacksthat haveslong, flat, savory andscrunchy taste madesfrom flour, eggs, butter, water and othersadditional seasonings. Food by-product from tofu has the potential to be used as an ingredientsfor stick makingsbecause of high protein and fiber content. In addition, local rawsmaterials such as mocaf floursand green spinach are rich in fiber content that can fulfill fiber needs of the body. This research is experimentswith purpose was to determine the physical, chemical, sensory characteristics and determine the formulation of sticks that produce high levels of fiber andsprotein. The experimental design is a completely randomized design (CRD) with the first factorscomparing tofu waste flour and mocaf flour (50: 150, 100: 100 and 150: 50) with the additionsof spinach (10%, 20% and 30%). The results showed that the stick formulation with the additionsof the best green spinach based on chemical and organoleptic values were 150 grams of tofuswaste flour, 50 grams of mocaf flour with the addition of 60 grams spinach that have a moisture content 3.742%, an ash content 2.353%, a protein 8.317 %, crude fiber 1.997%, fat 12.115% andscarbohydrate 73.473%. Based on the physical andsorganoleptic values, the tofu dregs flour was 50 grams, 150 grams of mocaf flour with the addition of 20 grams of spinach, the color yield was 2.467%, the flavor of tofu by product 2.200%, the flavor of mocaf was 2.467%, the flavor of spinach was 2.200%, the texture was crispy 3.800% and the total preference was 3.200%.s
