“Men and women can sort waste and utilize it as compost, there are several ways, one of which is called Losida or kitchen waste bin,” said Mutia.

The food distribution event organized by UNISA Yogyakarta is not only a form of assistance to local residents, but also includes socialization activities such as those carried out by Biotechnology lecturers. In addition to the food distribution, the event was also equipped with counseling on waste management and free health checks for the community.
