Organic Fertilizer the Result of Innovation Egg Shell Waste

Abstract

The background to the use of egg shells as organic fertilizer includes several important aspects that explain the relevance and urgency of using this material in the context of sustainable agriculture. The following are several main points that can be part of this background. First is the problem of using chemical fertilizers. Environmental Degradation. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers causes soil and water pollution, and reduces soil quality. This has a negative impact on ecosystems and human health. Farmer Dependency. Many farmers depend on chemical fertilizers to increase crop yields, which often increases production costs and reduces profits.

The public needs to be given an understanding of how to process and use egg shells. Socialization and training activities are needed to change traditional agricultural mindsets and practices. Farmer Empowerment: With new knowledge and skills, farmers can reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers, reduce costs, and increase crop yields naturally. By considering the factors above, the use of egg shells as organic fertilizer not only contributes to reducing waste, but also provides a solution to increase soil fertility and support more sustainable agriculture. This becomes a strong foundation for implementing community service programs in order to educate and empower the community.

The aim of this service activity is to increase public awareness about the use of egg shells as organic fertilizer. Teaching techniques for processing egg shells to be used as fertilizer. Support sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. The method used in this service is socialization through interactive discussions and field practice. Socialization is the main focus to raise awareness of the importance of managing waste wisely. After socialization, field practice is carried out.
