Abstrak

LEISA (Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture) is a concept that integrates agricultural components through the optimal utilization of local resources with minimal external inputs, thereby reducing environmental degradation. This community service activity aimed to enhance understanding and improve the skills of Ettawa Crossbreed (PE) goat farmers in Rahabite Village, Toari District, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, in applying the LEISA concept. The program was implemented through several stages: (1) presentation of the LEISA concept; (2) demonstration of processing plantation waste into alternative feed for PE goats; (3) demonstration of processing PE goat manure into organic fertilizer for plantation crops; and (4) monitoring and evaluation. During the implementation, participants showed great enthusiasm, actively engaging in discussions and responding positively to the materials delivered. The topic that particularly attracted the interest of the Rahabite community was the application of the LEISA concept emphasizing a zero-waste approach in integrated PE goat farming with cocoa plantations. This concept was realized through the utilization of plantation waste as feed for PE goats and the conversion of goat manure into organic fertilizer, thereby minimizing environmental damage and pollution.
