Penguatan Manajemen Sampah Berbasis Wakaf Produktif untuk Pengembangan Ternak Unggas Di Desa Benteng

Abstract

The Tohara Waqf Sanitary Program was implemented to address issues of waste accumulation, low organic waste-processing capacity, and limited community participation in environmental management in Kampung Asten. The program aims to enhance community skills in waste sorting, black soldier fly (BSF) larvae cultivation, the use of maggot as poultry feed, the development of small-scale household poultry farming, and understanding of the productive waqf concept as a foundation for sustainable sanitation. The methods used include training, hands-on practice, field visits, community clean-up activities, construction of supporting facilities, and pretest–posttest evaluations. The results show an improvement in community capacity, including a 61 percent increase in BSF cultivation comprehension scores, a 22.7 percent increase in productive waqf knowledge, and the formation of four “Toharangers” as local facilitators. The program also successfully conducted four clean-up activities in the ravine area and built supporting facilities such as a waste shelter, a larvae-breeding enclosure, and an upgraded incinerator. In addition, the community has begun showing interest in developing poultry farming using maggot as an alternative feed source, opening opportunities for improving household income. Despite remaining challenges, such as uneven waste-sorting habits and unstable larvae production, the program has increased community awareness and engagement in environmental management. Overall, the Tohara Waqf Sanitary Program demonstrates that an education- and empowerment-based approach can serve as a sustainable model for waste and sanitation management while supporting household food security.
