The UGM Faculty of Biology conducted a community service program focused on mitigating and handling the pandemic in Sleman Regency.

The programs raised the food theme. One of them is to encourage the stability of family food fulfillment in urban areas, specifically in Condongcatur Village, Sleman. Then, the food diversification program realized food safety in rural areas, namely in Madurejo Village, Sleman.

The head of the research team and the Dean of the UGM Faculty of Biology, Prof. Budi S.

"The program offered is a form of mitigation for the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic from the food sector," he explained on Thursday (13/8).

In implementing the program to maintain the stability of food supply for residents in rural areas in the Village of Condongcatur, he encourages the community to take advantage of the narrow land/yard to cultivate food crops by integrating with the processing of household waste into organic liquid fertilizer.
