Nagari Cupak is a sub-district in Solok Regency with a big rice field that can be developed to increase farmers’ wealth. The development of rice field potential in Nagari Cupak can be conducted with agricultural extension to farmers. One of the outreach topics that can deliver to farmers is the importance of the efficient functioning of farmer groups (as a learning class, as production units, and as a place to cooperate). In this situation, the topic regarding conserving water and soil in rice fields for efficient rice production in Nagari Cupak is another one that may be discussed with farmers. The agricultural extension was carried out in Jorong Panyalai, Nagari Cupak, Gunung Talang District, on Thursday, 10 August 2023. The method used in community service is the lecture method. Furthermore, it continued with a question-and-answer session. The object of this community service is to join farmer groups in Nagari Cupak, which consists of 18 farmer groups. These activities showed that the farmers did not optimise the group’s function because they only used it as a gathering place. Farmer groups also shared the issues they frequently encountered, and solutions were offered. In addition, agricultural extension activities were continued with practice regarding soil and water conservation on land provided by the Nagari Cupak Government. The farmers’ persistence can be seen in their enthusiasm for this extension activity until the end of the extension. In order to enable farmers to practice soil and water conservation on their own, they also requested that Extension Officers continue to support them.

Self-medication behaviors of the society kept increasing as years passed, including for the residents of Desa Pengalangan, Kecamatan Menganti, Kabupaten Gresik. Over-the-counter medicines, the ones that can be obtained without a prescription, have been a prior solution to relieve the symptoms of various diseases. Unfortunately, the consumption of these medicines is not accompanied by proficient knowledge of how to manage medicines properly. Consequently, the health of the community and environment are negatively affected. Therefore, it is considered crucial to educate society as a form of approach made for promoting public health and preventing the irrational usage of medicines. Socialization of the 'DAGUSIBU' (dapatkan, gunakan, simpan, dan buang) [eng: get, use, store, and dispose] of medicines through a session of interactive mini-lecture and simulation, has been chosen to be the proper modality to deliver such information about managing medicines. About 21 health cadres of Desa Pengalangan are involved in this program, fulfilling the pretests and post-tests as instruments to determine the level of knowledge of the society about medicines. Based on the result of this program, it is noted that an average of 80.9% participants' level of knowledge increases after socialization. Highest increase in the level of knowledge is reported in the topics 'Golongan obat' [eng: drug's classes] (85,7%) and 'DAGUSIBU obat' (85,7%), while the topic 'Penggunaan antibiotik' [eng: antibiotic usage] (71,4%) becomes the topic with the least increase in the level of knowledge. Though these findings seem in line with the previous studies, innovations are required to optimize the increase of society's level of knowledge in managing medicines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Farmers need organic and inorganic fertilizers that can help increase their agricultural productivity. The same goes for the people of Argapura Village, located in Cigudeg District, Bogor Regency, who are still active farmers and planters. However, most farmers in the village still rely on inorganic fertilizers, such as pesticides, which harm the surrounding ecosystem and tend to cost more than organic fertilizers. To overcome these problems, counselling is carried out regarding the manufacture of organic fertilizers photosynthetic bacteria (PSB), which aims to optimize farmer resources to be able to make fertilizer PSB independently and use it as a supporting fertilizer that can maximize agricultural productivity and reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers. Implementation of counselling begins with measuring the farmers' knowledge of PSB fertilizer, then providing PSB fertilizer material, demonstrating the production of PSB fertilizer, and finally motivating farmers that the resulting PSB fertilizer product can become a business opportunity. Prior to being demonstrated directly to the farmers, PSB fertilizer had gone through experiments and trials on chilli plants as well as the packaging and labelling of finished PSB fertilizer products. The result of this counselling is an increase in farmers' knowledge about alternative fertilizers, namely PSB fertilizer and how to make it, as well as the growth of the entrepreneurial spirit of the farmers. Another result is the creation of PSB fertilizer products and educational videos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
