Aquaculture is an important sector that plays a role in supporting food security while improving the economy of rural communities. This activity is an easy alternative because it can utilize limited land and simple media, such as ponds. Bantul Regency is one of the areas in the Special Region of Yogyakarta that has aquaculture activities with promising prospects. Catfish is the favorite fish of the community in terms of consumption, so it is not surprising that the production volume of catfish is quite high on a regional scale. This community service activity aims to encourage and enhance community empowerment in managing vacant land potential so that the community can have additional income through catfish farming using tarpaulin ponds in the Griya Cendekia UII Sedayu Bantul assisted village located in Padukuhan Kaliberot. The results of catfish farming are used as a marketing tool that can improve community welfare and create new jobs. The community service methods implemented include the identification of problems and potential partners; the construction of catfish ponds; training in catfish pond cultivation; program monitoring; and evaluation and sustainability strategies. The results of community service activities show that these activities improve the community's ability to manage catfish productively and optimize marketing management. These activities conclude that catfish farming not only supports the environmental ecosystem but also creates new economic opportunities for the community.

Currently, the development of local potential based on natural product and materials requires concrete steps to increase added value, stimulate investment and find new markets at home and abroad. One of the natural material commodities that has great potential is essential oil which is included in the plantation agribusiness sub-sector. So far, the essential oil industry has only maintain at the home industry and is still feeling the way in place. The study and development of techniques and knowledge about the benefits and applications of essential oils by involving research institutions both in the government and in universities has not been clearly known by most of the public. Essential oils produced by the Indonesian people are not yet popular even though in their daily lives the community is very close and even involved in the use of essential oil ingredients. Innovation and creation of essential oil derivative products involving various partners are new development challenges that must be faced by research institutions owned by universities and government-owned in order to jointly increase the nation's sustainable competitiveness. Center of Essential Oil Studies (CEOS UII) supports joint efforts between the government and the business sector even at the UMKM level so that technology dissemination takes place intensively and evenly, including the use of natural resources that are being innovatively developed and the diversification of the utilization of derivative and formulative products. Agribusiness and essential oil agroindustry business actors need to be used as partners so that the development of essential oil innovation and utility can be broad and even. Superior essential oil products need to be developed in suitable areas, using quality plant materials, and applying good cultivation methods to increase productivity and quality as well as variety of plant types. This activity will make one region produce superior and mainstay products that are highly competitive and give birth to partnerships that support each other and provide solutions to local and regional problems as quickly as possible. Indonesia's agro-industry and essential oil agribusiness are faced with two main problems, namely low quality and fluctuating prices. One of the solutions is an extensification and intensification program in the commodity and non-commodity sectors of essential oils. The essential crop extensification program needs to consider market absorption and prioritize the regional program of a region's mainstay commodity. The intensification program is prioritized to increase the productivity and quality of essential oil raw materials. This is intended so as not to pose a risk of loss for essential oil farmers.

Hypertension control in primary care remains a public health challenge in Indonesia. Among pre-elderly and older adults, hypertension prevalence is higher, increasing the risk of serious cardiovascular complications. Sustained strengthening is required for comprehensive initiatives that engage both health professionals and community health workers (cadres). This community service program aimed to enhance the roles of patients, elderly posyandu cadres, and the puskesmas staff in hypertension management in Pandak Village, Bantul Regency. The methods and approaches included case mapping, community-based screening, cadre training, provision of tensimeters, patient/family education, and training for puskesmas health workers. Data from the puskesmas indicated that 355 Pandak residents had hypertension. Community screening targeting pre-elderly and older adults was attended by 186 residents, of whom 154 were confirmed to have hypertension. Cadre training involved 12 elderly posyandu cadres, focusing on how to conduct elderly screening (anthropometry and blood pressure check) and interpret hypertension status. Before the training, only two cadres were able to measure blood pressure using tensimeter, whereas after the training all attending cadres were able to perform measurements independently. The program also provided seven sets of tensimeters to improve access to blood pressure monitoring in Pandak Village. Training for puskesmas health workers on “Current Hypertension Therapy and Its Implementation in Primary Care” was attended by 21 participants (doctors, nurses, and midwives). Knowledge increased, with the mean pre-test score rising from 61.0 to 83.8 in the post-test. Overall, the program enhanced the capacity of cadres and puskesmas staff and improved access to hypertension screening and monitoring.
