Local food-based Entrepreneurship Training will be one of the important things for the community in utilizing products. However, there are several major problems in the Production sector such as the continuity of local food products not being available at all times because the community does not utilize raw products to be processed into new products that have added value. In addition, there are problems in the managerial and marketing fields. The problems in the managerial field are lack of planning, organization, lack of organization, lack of directors in the division of work in groups and lack of supervision. In the marketing field, there are still problems in promoting and selling products where in addition the products have not been accepted by the Community. The method of implementing Community Service activities from the UNIMOR Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM) provides solutions in answering the problems that exist in the Kasih Setia Women Farmers group. The method of implementing the activities in question is by identifying problems using the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) model. The results achieved are that Farmers gain Knowledge in the Empowerment Program through Entrepreneurship Training activities by changing Purple Sweet Potato and Yellow Pumpkin materials into pumpkin sticks and purple sweet potato sticks so that they have added value to the product. There are several suggestions that need to be considered in empowering the Kasih Setia Farmer group, namely that Farmer Empowerment activities must continue to be encouraged in other villages or in the village with an empowerment model in the form of other processed foods to increase farmers' knowledge in processing local products into new products so that the added value of the product becomes higher to penetrate the market.

Hypertension is defined as persistent blood pressure with a systolic pressure ≥140/90 mmHg. Hypertension is one of the risk factors that most influences the incidence of heart disease, blood vessels and stroke. Hypertension often shows no symptoms, so it is only realized when it has caused organ disorders such as heart dysfunction or stroke. One of the causes of hypertension is unhealthy lifestyle factors, one of which is a lack of vegetable consumption which has the risk of causing hypertension. Based on Field Learning Practice (PBL) 1 activities, namely community diagnosis in Citangkolo Hamlet, Kujangsari Village, Langensari District, Banjar City, in 2023, a priority health problem was found, namely hypertension, with the number of sufferers reaching a percentage of 54% of the total 231 people. This is due to the lack of vegetable consumption in the community. Based on this problem, PBL 2 activities were carried out, by carrying out innovative intervention activities for the SI ELNINO program (Alternative Intervention for Citangkolo Hypertension Reducing Plants) which was carried out so that people would pay more attention to consumption patterns by planting pak choy and celery vegetables as a form of control, namely reducing the blood pressure of hypertension sufferers. . This activity is carried out in the form of counseling and providing education, Training of Trainers, and planting by empowering the Women Farmers Group (KWT) with a vegetable planting movement. This activity was attended by posbindu cadres, KWT, and the Citangkolo hamlet community. Through outreach activities there is a significant increase in public knowledge regarding hypertension as proven by the results of the pretest and posttest with a p-value <0.001. So this activity has succeeded in increasing the knowledge of the Citangkolo hamlet community regarding hypertension.
