JAKARTA INDONESIA (ISL News) - PT Pelindo Solusi Logistik (“SPSL”) continues to demonstrate its commitment to sustainable development based on Community Empowerment through three Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) programs that focus on community empowerment in North Rawa Badak.
The three innovative programs include Maggot Cultivation (TPS3R Integrated Waste Management), Catfish and Hydroponic Cultivation (Thematic Fostered Village), and Pelita (Pelindo Environment Without Stunting Children ) which are integrated with each other in building the Rawa Badak Utara Community Empowerment ecosystem.
Senior Vice President of SPSL Corporate Secretariat, Kiki M. Hikmat, stated that this program is a real manifestation of the company's responsibility to provide a positive impact on society while improving public health.
"We believe that community empowerment based on sustainable development is a strategic step to create real change. Holistically, this TJSL program is designed to support the pillars of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)," explained Kiki.
This Community Empowerment -based TJSL program is a community empowerment that focuses on 3 interrelated programs. In the Kampung Lele program, training and community assistance are provided through catfish cultivation in buckets (Budikdamber) and the provision of facilities and infrastructure for planting vegetables through a hydroponic system. This initiative aims to improve food security and the economic welfare of the community in a sustainable manner. The results of catfish and hydroponic cultivation are also used as additional nutritional menus for stunted toddlers in the TJSL Pelita program, this is done as a form of support for the TJSL program in reducing stunting rates in the North Rawa Badak area.
Then from the Maggot Cultivation program, in addition to supporting environmental sustainability through organic waste processing, the cultivated maggots are also used as catfish feed in Kampung Lele. This approach allows for effective waste management, reduces environmental impact, while providing nutritious and affordable feed for catfish.
The entire series of activities form a mutually supportive ecosystem, ensuring positive impacts on society, the environment, and economic development. With an integrated approach, this program addresses the challenges of food security and public health, and empowers communities to be more independent in managing natural resources, while maintaining environmental sustainability in the future.
