Abstract

Kebumen Village, Banyubiru District, Semarang Regency faces challenges in managing inorganic waste, particularly plastic, and the need to enhance the use of medicinal plants (TOGA) for community health. The program "Utilization of Inorganic Waste for Revitalizing TOGA Gardens and Nutrition in Kebumen Village" aims to educate the community about plastic waste management and revitalizing TOGA gardens to support village nutrition and economy. The methods used include field surveys to identify garden deficiencies, designing and collecting materials such as used plastic bottles, and implementing activities to create plant pots and decorative elements from plastic waste. This process involves the community at every stage, from preparation to applying plant pots in the TOGA garden. The results show that utilizing plastic waste effectively reduces environmental impact and improves the aesthetics and functionality of the garden. The program successfully raised community awareness about recycling and waste utilization, and strengthened food security and health through TOGA planting, providing sustainable benefits for Kebumen Village.

Review

This paper, "Pemanfaatan Limbah Anorganik untuk Revitalisasi Kebun Toga dan Gizi di Desa Kebumen," presents a highly relevant and timely intervention addressing the dual challenges of inorganic waste management and community health in rural Indonesia. The initiative to integrate plastic waste utilization with the revitalization of TOGA (medicinal plant) gardens is particularly commendable, offering a practical and sustainable solution that simultaneously tackles environmental concerns and enhances community nutrition and economic opportunities. The program's clear objective of educating the community while fostering self-sufficiency through medicinal plant cultivation underscores its holistic approach to local development. The methodology employed is well-structured and appears highly effective for a community-based intervention. Beginning with field surveys to identify specific needs and deficiencies, the program progresses systematically through material collection, design, and practical implementation, such as creating plant pots from used plastic bottles. A significant strength lies in the strong emphasis on community involvement at every stage, from preparation to application. This participatory approach is crucial for fostering local ownership, ensuring the sustainability of the program, and maximizing its long-term impact on Kebumen Village. The results articulated in the abstract highlight significant positive outcomes. The program successfully demonstrates the reduction of environmental impact through plastic waste utilization and the improvement of garden aesthetics and functionality. Crucially, it has raised community awareness regarding recycling and waste management, which is essential for fostering sustainable behaviors. Moreover, by strengthening food security and health through TOGA planting, the initiative provides tangible, sustainable benefits for the community. This project serves as an excellent model for other rural communities facing similar environmental and public health challenges.
