UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 Organic waste management remains a challenge for residents of Warugunung Village, located in Pacet District, Mojokerto Regency. In response, students from Universitas Airlangga<\/a>‘s Community Service Program \u2013 Learning with Community (KKN-BBK 6) launched an initiative to help transform household organic waste into compost.<\/p>\n\n

Cantika Thania Karina, a student from the Faculty of Public Health and a member of the KKN-BBK 6 team, explained that this program addresses both environmental and agricultural needs, as most villagers are farmers. The compost produced will enrich the soil and support sustainable farming practices.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe hope the compost can be immediately tested on local crops. This initiative aims to reduce waste while creating something useful,\u201d Karina said on Wednesday (July 16, 2025).<\/p>\n\n

Composting in practice<\/h5>\n\n

As part of the program, villagers were invited to take part in a hands-on composting workshop using the Takakura method, a technique that employs Effective Microorganisms (EM4) for waste breakdown.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe Takakura composting method requires a starter culture, EM4 solution, clean water, and organic waste such as vegetable scraps or food leftovers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

Before beginning the composting process, participants received a short educational session to help them understand the technique. \u201cWe also administered pre- and post-tests during the session to assess how much they learned,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n

Karina explained that the composting process takes 14 days. It starts with cutting organic waste into small pieces and sun-drying it to reduce moisture. Meanwhile, an EM4 solution is prepared by mixing 50 ml of EM4 with 250 ml of water. <\/p>\n\n

The composting setup uses a Takakura basket, made from a plastic basket lined with cardboard. A layer of rice husks is placed at the bottom, followed by 2 kg of compost starter material.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cBefore adding the waste to the basket, it should be sprayed with the EM4 solution. Then, 6 kg of organic waste is added and mixed evenly,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n

The final step involves adding another layer of rice husks and sealing the basket. The compost bin must be kept in a dry, shaded area with good airflow and protected from pests and rain.<\/p>\n\n

Karina noted that if managed well, the compost could become a source of income for the villagers. She and her team hope the program becomes a long-term solution to reduce organic waste independently. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe also hope this initiative will continue and eventually become a standard practice in the village to foster a cleaner and healthier environment,\u201d Karina concluded.<\/p>\n\n
