Community service carried out in Kelusa Village, Payangan, Gianyar, Bali aims to help the community in improving knowledge and skills in waste management. Village waste management is important to realize Kelusa Village as an ecotourism village. The methods used are observation, interviews, counseling, and plot demonstrations. Based on the results of interviews with 18 participants in composting training and demonstration plots, it was found that the villagers were not used to sorting garbage because they were lazy and did not have time. The residents of Kelusa Village have also never done composting because they don't know how to compost. After the training, the villagers wanted to make compost, because they already knew the method of composting.
The community service carried out aims to increase the knowledge and understanding of farmers in the processing of agricultural waste, especially composting rice straw. Community service is also held to increase farmers' knowledge regarding the role of rice straw compost in improving soil fertility. The method used is socialization or counseling as a form of knowledge transfer to farmers. The socialization involved 20 members of the Subak Telun Ayah group, Gianyar Bali. The results show that due to limited knowledge of the benefits of rice straw for soil fertility, farmers tend to burn the agricultural waste produced. Farmers also do not believe in the benefits of compost so they prefer the use of inorganic fertilizers.
The community service program implemented in Asah Duren Village, Pekutatan District, Jembrana-Bali Regency aims to improve farmers' knowledge and skills in plantation litter management. Another goal is to invite farmers to start utilizing litter and processing it into compost to meet fertilizer needs. The methods used in the service program are observation, socialization, and demonstration. Based on observations, farmers in Asah Duren Village have not used litter, because they still view litter as waste material and have no benefits. Farmers after receiving socialization and training on litter utilization through the plot demonstration method have a desire to process litter into compost. Farmers also want to start using litter compost to reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers. Farmers' interest in utilizing litter compost is also increasing because the price of inorganic fertilizers is increasing
