Pendampingan Budidaya Alpukat Menuju Santripreneur GO GREEN di PONPES Irsyaduth Tholabah Padangan

Abstract

Abstract: The problem faced by Ponpes Irsyaduth Tholabah Padangan is the limited knowledge and skills of the students in efficient and environmentally friendly avocado cultivation. Many students are not familiar with sustainable farming methods, so they still rely on traditional ways that are less efficient and potentially harmful to the environment. In addition, the lack of understanding of agricultural business management and digital marketing is also another problem in optimizing agricultural yields. This activity aims to increase the entrepreneurial capacity of the students through avocado cultivation as an environmentally friendly and sustainable economic potential. This program is implemented at Ponpes Irsyaduth Tholabah, Padangan, Bojonegoro Regency, with a participatory and educational approach. The main focus of the mentoring includes the transfer of knowledge about avocado cultivation techniques, agribusiness management, and the strengthening of entrepreneurial spirit based on Islamic values. Through a series of training and field practice, the students not only gain technical skills in planting avocados, but are also able to design business models that support the go green principle. The steps of activity implementation are as follows: a) Activity location survey, b) Pre-Test, c) Avocado Cultivation and Digital Marketing Training, d) Post-Test. The results of the activities show an increase in students' understanding of sustainable farming concepts and the emergence of small business initiatives based on agricultural products. This program is expected to become the embryo for producing a generation of students who are economically independent and concerned about environmental sustainability.
