Bekiung Village is one of the villages in Kuala sub-district, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra province, Indonesia. Generally, the people in Bekiung Village, Kuala District have a livelihood in the agricultural and animal husbandry sectors. The main livestock commodities are cows and goats while the agricultural commodities are rice and corn. The partner's current problem is the accumulation of livestock waste that has not been utilized and also agricultural waste such as crop residues that are wasted even though this waste has the potential to be developed because it contains nutrients. Generally, farmers in Bekiung village still practice conventional crop cultivation using synthetic chemical fertilizers continuously, which have a physical and chemical impact on the soil and have an impact on health. The lack of knowledge of farmers in the utilization of livestock and agricultural waste is the main obstacle to overcoming these problems. The purpose of this activity is to utilize agricultural and livestock waste in making bokashi. The solution is empowering farming communities through training in making bokashi by utilizing livestock and agricultural waste in the hope of increasing farmers' income and can also be used in cultivated plants to reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.
