The aim of this community service activity is to provide training to farmer group members on the use of organic waste shredding machines and the process of converting waste into compost and liquid organic fertilizer (POC) in Surabaya. This activity was conducted 2 days from 5 Oktober and 9 November 2023 in Babatan urban village. The methods used in this program include Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA). The results of the PRA indicate that farmers had limited understanding of the use of shredding technology and lacked awareness of the benefits of organic waste management. Meanwhile, the RRA results show that farmers were able to operate the shredding machine properly and understand the process of making compost and POC. This community service activity has provided new knowledge to farmer groups, enabling them to operate the machine and improve efficiency in organic waste management.
