The training began with the provision of material on the potential of BSF maggot, followed by practical training on making maggot cultivation media. Lecture and discussion methods were applied to improve participants' understanding, which showed positive responses and active participation. The results of the activity showed that participants gained new knowledge and skills in maggot cultivation, which is expected to improve the family economy. BSF maggot cultivation is not only efficient in terms of animal feed costs, but also provides additional benefits in organic waste management.
