Abstract

Waste remains a major issue in various regions, particularly organic waste. Unmanaged organic waste can cause environmental pollution and contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 12) and SDG 13 (Action on Climate Change), innovative solutions are needed to manage organic waste. Maggot (Black Soldier Fly) cultivation is an alternative method for processing organic waste that has economic value. This community service activity aims to strengthen theeconomy of the community in Demakan Village, Mojolaban District, Sukoharjo Regency through training in maggot cultivation as an environmentally friendly and sustainable method for managing organic waste. This activity includes outreach, training, and mentoring for members of the waste bank in Demakan Village, Mojolaban District, Sukoharjo Regency. The maggots produced can be used as alternative feed for the fisheries and poultry farming sectors, thus supporting the concept of a circular economy. It is hoped that this activity will raise public awareness of more productive organic waste management, reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment, and create business opportunities based on local resources. This activity not only contributes to improving community welfare but also accelerates the achievement of the SDGs through more inclusive and sustainable economic development. Follow-up plans related to this activity include monitoring and evaluation of the program to ensure its sustainability.
