<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>This program aims to empower farmer groups to utilize rice husk waste into alternative fuel through simple briquette-making technology based on the circular economy concept.</p> <p><strong>Methodology/approach: </strong>The program employed a participatory approach, involving local communities through several stages, including socialization, environmental education, and technical training on briquette production. The training covered rice husk carbonization, binder preparation, briquette molding, and drying processes. Evaluation was carried out through participant involvement observation, pre-test and post-test assessments, and product quality trials.</p> <p><strong>Results/findings: </strong>The results show a significant increase in community knowledge, with over 39% improvement between pre-test and post-test scores. Participants, particularly farmer group members, showed high enthusiasm throughout the activities, and more than 75% successfully produced briquettes independently. A simple briquette press tool was also handed over to the community and proven to be functional and easy to operate.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The program effectively enhanced community skills and awareness in renewable energy utilization. Simple technology can convert agricultural waste into economic value while supporting environmental sustainability.</p> <p><strong>Limitations: </strong>The short implementation period restricted long-term mentoring and evaluation of sustainability. The number of participants was limited to 15 farmers, reducing generalizability. Moreover, no detailed economic or environmental assessments were conducted, so efficiency and emission impacts remain unquantified.</p> <p><strong>Contribution: </strong>This program enhances community capacity in utilizing rice husk waste through simple briquette-making technology. It promotes renewable energy awareness, supports the circular economy, and strengthens collaboration between universities and farmer groups as a replicable model for rural energy innovation.</p>

<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>Local food availability in Central Sulawesi faces post-disaster challenges and global market competition. This community service program aims to improve the competitiveness of Lere Village fishermen's food products through branding strategies and the use of digital technology.</p> <p><strong>Methodology/approach: </strong>The program was implemented through community outreach, targeted training sessions, and mentoring focused on basic business management, digital marketing, and product quality improvement. Twenty-five fishermen participated in this program, selected based on their direct involvement in local food production and distribution.</p> <p><strong>Results/findings: </strong>Results showed an increased management, product packaging, and skills in using social media for promotion. Partners also received product diversification strategies and access to food certification.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In conclusion, this program has had a positive impact in increasing the capacity of fishermen to manage local food businesses and expand markets, thus supporting food sustainability in Central Sulawesi.</p> <p><strong>Limitations: </strong>This program has limitations in the number of participants, which is only 25 fishermen, the short duration of mentoring, and limited access to digital infrastructure so that the implementation of digital marketing is not yet evenly distributed.</p> <p><strong>Contribution: </strong>This program contributes by providing a model for empowering fishermen based on branding strategies and digital technology that can be replicated in other coastal areas. Furthermore, the program enhances fishermen's capacity in business management, product diversification, and digital marketing skills, thereby increasing the competitiveness of local products. The program also supports post-disaster food security by strengthening community-based production chains and opening access to food certification to add value and expand markets.</p>
