About the JournalAbstract
Farmers’ dependence on chemical fertilisers in Baran Village, Cawas Sub district, Klaten Regency is one of the challenges in implementing sustainable agriculture. The continuous use of chemical fertilisers can reduce soil fertility. The utilisation of livestock manure in Baran Village has not yet been optimised. This initiative focused on training farmers in the production of organic fertiliser from livestock manure as a means of utilising the existing potential in Baran Village, whilst also providing information on the benefits and stages of organic fertiliser production. The activity took place on 14 July 2026 at the Baran Village Hall, utilising methods of awareness raising, discussion and hands on practice with members of the farmers’ group. Data were collected through observation, documentation and literature review, and analysed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the activity showed that farmers believed livestock manure could be used directly without undergoing any fertiliser production process. Through these outreach sessions and practical training in organic fertiliser production, farmers gained an understanding of the benefits of producing organic fertiliser, the materials used, and the stages involved in its production. Consequently, the utilisation of livestock waste can serve as an alternative to reduce dependence on chemical fertilisers whilst supporting environmental management and the implementation of sustainable agriculture in Baran Village.
