PkM MBKM, Faculty of Biology UGM 2025: Empowering the Kepuh Kulon Community, RT 001, Wirokerten, Banguntapan, Bantul Through the First Phase of Socialization and Training on Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA): Production of Onion Sticks Enriched with Four TOGA Variants

Community Service Monday, 14 July 2025

Team Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) – Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) initiative of the Faculty of Biology, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), led by Prof. Rina Sri Kasiamdari, S.Si., Ph.D., has successfully implemented the first phase of its activities in Kepuh Kulon RT 001, Wirokerten, Banguntapan, Bantul. This phase focused on the production of onion-based snack sticks enriched with four variants of Tanaman Obat Keluarga (TOGA – Family Medicinal Plants). The program engaged five undergraduate students Swastikhansa Parahita Sulistyaningrum, Afrina Syah Putri, Isna Kuminingrum, Asitya Fitri Miadi, and Amyra Asa Nurhanifa with the primary aim of raising community awareness about the health benefits of TOGA plants through interactive learning. Additionally, the initiative introduced an innovative approach to utilizing TOGA in developing value-added food products, particularly onion sticks infused with TOGA extracts, which are not only beneficial for health but also palatable to a broad demographic, especially children. This event marked the fifth consecutive year of PkM-MBKM implementation in RT 001 Kepuh Kulon. The current semester’s activities were conducted on Sunday, May 18, 2025, from 09:30 to 15:00 WIB at the residence of the RT head, Mr. Zamzuri. The event garnered enthusiastic participation from local residents, including 14 women and Mr. Sunartono, the village head (Kepala Dukuh) of Kepuh Kulon. In his opening remarks, Mr. Sunartono emphasized the practical uses of TOGA as part of daily health practices. He shared his personal experience consuming TOGA-based herbal drinks, noting significant health improvements, and encouraged the community to continue leveraging TOGA plants through the program. He also urged local residents to sustain the initiative independently, promoting a spirit of productivity and creativity within the community. Prof. Rina highlighted the importance of TOGA utilization in improving public health and fostering local innovation. She emphasized the potential of incorporating butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea), roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), sappanwood (Caesalpinia sappan), and turmeric (Curcuma longa) into food products such as onion sticks, especially given children’s general aversion to medicine. She also underscored the crucial role of community solidarity in the program’s success and its potential contribution to the local economy by promoting TOGA-based healthy snacks as a new entrepreneurial opportunity.

The main activities included a knowledge dissemination session followed by a hands-on workshop on producing TOGA-enriched onion sticks. Participants were introduced to TOGA concepts, health benefits, the nutritional properties of selected TOGA plants, and the step-by-step methodology for snack preparation. The community members were divided into four groups, each focusing on one TOGA variant (butterfly pea, turmeric, roselle, and sappanwood). Each group prepared dough following a standard recipe until it reached the desired consistency. The dough was then flattened using a rolling machine, cut into uniform strips, deep-fried, and packaged in labeled plastic pouches and jars to improve product appeal. To further engage participants, a quiz session was held at the end of the activity, with door prizes awarded to active attendees.

The enthusiasm and skill displayed by the residents during the workshop are expected to drive the program’s sustainability. Additionally, the PkM-MBKM team provided a complete set of equipment and a pressing tool to enable continued production by the community. The next phase of the program is scheduled for the first semester of the 2025/2026 academic year (September), focusing on further processing of TOGA into additional value-added products to enhance community welfare. This community service program aims to expand knowledge and practical skills in processing TOGA into beneficial health products, thereby contributing to improved public health and local economic resilience. The initiative aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 2: Zero Hunger; SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being; SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

Training and Assistance for ‘Amanda’ Women Farmers Group in Cultivating Yard Plants

Community Service Monday, 23 June 2025

Front yard utilization for the cultivation of functional plants with market value could contribute to improve entrepreneurial independence.  In a series of 2025 PKM-MBKM activities with the Amanda Women Farmers Group as partners, training and mentoring of outdoor plants cultivation were carried out on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at Padukuhan Kepuh Wetan, Wirokerten Village, Kapanewon Banguntapan, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. The UGM PKM-MBKM team led by Prof. Dr. Diah Rachmawati, S.Si., M.Si. accompanied by students from the Faculty of Biology UGM class of 2022: Jovanka, Khansa Fauziah Rachman, Samantha Sonya Putri, and Dhea Amelia, delivered the materials and practices on how to germinate, transplant, and nurture rosella (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.), ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), and lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf).


Rosella, butterfly pea, ginger, and lemongrass are grown in several stages. In rosella and butterfly pea, good seeds are selected by soaking them in water and taking the sinking seeds. Seeds that sink are put into in a seedling tray with planting media and watered daily.  After the seeds germinate for approximately 1-2 weeks and the main stem is strong enough, the plants are transferred to a 25×25 poly bag containing planting media. Watering is done every day and fertilizing every 2 weeks with NPK fertilizer dissolved in water. The process of ginger cultivation is carried out by selecting ginger rhizomes that have good quality and cleaning them from the remaining soil. Gingers are put into a container containing wet cloth covered with another wet cloth. This process is carried out until the shoots appear on rhizome (approximately 2 weeks) and continued with the planting process in a 35×35 polybag containing planting media. As for lemongrass, the initial process carried out is pruning the upper leaves and soaking lemongrass in water until they grow roots. This process lasts approximately 1 week and is followed by planting lemongrass in a 35×35 polybag with planting media. Lemongrass and ginger were watered daily and fertilized once a week with NPK dissolved in water.

The activity received a very positive response from the members of the Amanda Women Farmers Group who enthusiastically followed the entire series of events, from the material delivery to hands-on practice. This enthusiasm can be seen from the many questions asked during the discussion session, as well as the liveliness of the participants when trying to perform germination and transplanting techniques independently. In addition, this activity also became a space for interaction that strengthened the relationship between the implementation team and partner communities, creating a collaborative and mutually supportive atmosphere (SDG 17). Through a participatory and applicable approach, it is hoped that this activity will not only provide new knowledge and skills, but also be able to build community independence in utilizing front yard productively by cultivating plants with high market value to improve family food security and community welfare in a sustainable manner (SDG 8).
