YOGYAKARTA (November 15, 2022) - The problem of waste still haunts urban
areas. Many parties pay serious attention to this issue. Several ways to
overcome the waste problem, one of which is to process organic waste into BSF
Maggot cultivation.
The BSF (Black Soldier Fly) maggot is the larva
of a large black fly that looks like a wasp. BSF maggot is easy to cultivate
and beneficial for the environment because it can decompose organic waste. BSF
maggot can also be used as an alternative to super nutritious feed for
livestock. This type of animal feed is getting more and more fans. In
addition, BSF Maggot can be processed into a dry maggot, maggot oil, maggot flour, and maggot pellets.
Some time ago, BBPPKS Yogyakarta in
collaboration with the Magelang City Social Office and PKH City Human Resources
Management held a Community Empowerment Training through BSF Maggot Cultivation
Social Entrepreneurship for PKH and BPNT Beneficiary Families (KPM) Magelang
City. The training was held for 4 days from 26 to 29 October 2022 at Tat Twam
Asi Hall of the KUMUDA Children's Social Service Institution (PPSA) Magelang.
As many as 30 participants were given
entrepreneurial spirit motivational material by a team from Fita Farm, Magelang
City. As basic knowledge, participants were given knowledge about the
introduction of organic waste, BSF Magot cultivation, and Eco Enzym processing
by the Team from Guwosari TC. After understanding how to cultivate magot,
participants also learned the BSF Magot Product Processing Technique by TM
Garbage Bantul.
As a continuation of the previous
entrepreneurship material, a team of Surabaya Economic Heroes was presented to
convey how to make a good packaging and marketing. Participants were provided with
simple bookkeeping and entrepreneurial development strategies from the
Satoeassa and Omah Maggot Magelang teams to start future business activities.
