The social assistance program for raising goats in Bekasi City is an alternative to post-Covid-19 economic recovery which has been given to 100 business groups but after one year there were only 73 active breeders, so it is interesting to study with the aim of knowing internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors (strengths and threats) in formulating a strategy for developing a goat-sheep business in Bekasi City. A sample of 40 respondents was taken through a purposive sampling approach and data analysis was carried out qualitatively (descriptive business activities and determining alternative strategies), as well as quantitatively through instrument testing, IFE/EFE analysis, SWOT Matrix and QSPM Matrix. The results of the study show that the goat livestock business in Bekasi City is in a weak condition with strategic priorities, namely (1) revitalizing the revolving program by benchmarking to regions that carry out best practices, (2) maximizing the promotion of the revolving grant model with good management by policy makers, (3) strengthening the readiness of beneficiaries in raising goats, and (4) increasing the number of beneficiaries of sheep livestock assistance.

The enthusiasm for maintaining health has increased in line with the Covid-19 pandemic, though they have to pay the higher price. Therefore, study aims to determine changes in people's behavior in consuming organic vegetables due to Covid-19, willingness to pay (WTP) and factors that influence. The research was conducted in three stages--descriptive socio-demographic factors, calculation of WTP with the Contingent Valuation Method approach and SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) analysis. Based on 155 respondents who determined by Slovin formula and accidental sampling technique. The study showed that consumers had a higher WTP for various types of organic vegetables, especially spinach, chayote, and kale. However, this WTP is significantly influenced by level of education, type of work and income. Consumer behavior significantly affected WTP for organic vegetables during Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, Covid-19 pandemic provides great potential for an increase in the number of consumption and purchases of organic vegetables.
The rapid development of settlements, industry and infrastructure in the city of Bekasi has resulted in increased pollution, reduced the amount of agricultural land used as a food producer and a source of oxygen. To minimize this impact, it is necessary to have community service in the form of urban farming activities using the green wall method. The method of implementation is in the form of outreach and training, such as (1) Providing knowledge and understanding regarding urban farming and procedures for making green walls, (2) Carrying out green wall making practices. The results of its activities are the presentation of the extension material which includes the history of green walls in the world, types of green wall, the main structure of green wall, green wall containers, green wall planting media, types of plants for green wall, watering techniques on green walls, the concept of laying out green wall, and practice of making green wall (tools and materials, as well as work steps). Furthermore, the practice of making green wall (done outdoors). At the practical stage, the community is invited to be directly involved in assembling materials and arranging plants on the media so that a green wall is formed. This green wall creation program is very useful, gives satisfaction, and the program can be continued independently by partners.
One of the reasons for the decline in rice production in Indonesia is that most of the paddy fields are already degraded, which is characterized by, among other things, low organic matter content. straw produced in rice cultivation is 7 tonnes / ha. However, the components of rice straw are mainly cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and small amounts of protein which make the C / N value high. The methods used in this activity are in the form of counseling, demonstration plots / pilots of making rice straw compost, guidance and counseling, field applications or planting rice using compost, monitoring and field evaluation. The results of the community service that has been carried out in Karyasari Village, Rengas Dengklok District, Karawang Regency were carried out by 10 members and this research was carried out well and by monitoring to see how successful compost from agricultural waste was.
