Community Empowerment, Farmer Groups, Coconut Plantations, Coconut Shells, BriquettesAbstract
This research focuses on community empowerment in utilizing coconut shells for briquette production among farmer groups in Mendongan and Pawulon Hamlets, Gondowulan Village. The village has significant potential from coconut plantations; however, unused coconut shells accumulate and may contribute to environmental problems, including mosquito breeding sites. The KKN PPM UGM team implemented a participatory action research approach through five empowerment stages: leaflet development, socialization, video-based visualization, demonstrations and training, and provision of briquette production tools and technology. The program encouraged farmer groups to transform coconut shells into valuable briquettes. Sustainable development requires continued support from village governments, sub-district authorities, and relevant agencies to strengthen community-based coconut shell utilization.
