Pedungan, June 13, 2026 – In an effort to raise public awareness regarding the management of organic waste into beneficial products, the Pedungan Village Development (Bina Desa) team of Udayana University's Impactful Campus (Kampus Berdampak) program conducted a seminar on the Demonstration and Distribution of Eco-Enzyme Harvest. The event took place at the Meeting Room of the Pedungan Village Head Office on Saturday (13/06). This seminar was attended by Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) representatives from every banjar (neighborhood) in Pedungan Village.

During the Pedungan Village Development activity, the Village Coordinator, I Gusti Agung Ngurah Gorda, commenced his opening remarks by appreciating the enthusiasm of the residents' representatives from Banjar Sama, Kaja, Sawah, Begawan, and Geladak for their participation in the demonstration and direct eco-enzyme pouring practice into the river. At the conclusion of his speech, he also invited interested residents to take home a portion of the available eco-enzyme liquid to be applied to household-scale plants. Considering that the independent harvesting process of approximately 250 liters of eco-enzyme had been completed by the team earlier, the main agenda was subsequently focused on public education.

The event proceeded with a material presentation on the eco-enzyme harvesting procedures by the Pedungan Village Development team, which was coupled with education on repurposing plastic gallon waste into plant pots. During the harvesting session, it was explained that the process begins by straining the fermentation product using a plastic strainer or gauze into a clean container. This separation from the residue will produce a light brown liquid with a distinct fermentation aroma. The filtered liquid is then stored in tightly sealed bottles and placed in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight exposure. This liquid is safe for long-term storage as it does not have an expiration date. Meanwhile, the remaining filtered residue was instructed not to be discarded due to its high nutritional content. The residue can be optimally utilized by burying it in the soil as organic fertilizer, or blended as a new starter to accelerate the fermentation process for the next eco-enzyme production.

The event concluded with the pouring of 62 liters of eco-enzyme, which had been produced by the Pedungan Village Development team alongside the PKK representatives within the Pedungan village area. This step is expected to initiate the PKK mothers and the Pedungan village community to continuously produce and apply eco-enzyme independently as a tangible form of household organic waste management.
