The Jonggol people are generally farmers or non-productive people, for that purpose the service is aimed at empowering non-productive communities in Jonggol Village, in order to obtain promising additional income through the empowerment of Moringa plants. The implementation method goes through 3 stages, namely the nursery stage, the cultivation stage and the technopark development stage. The results obtained from a total of 250 Moringa seeds and nurseries, 200 Moringa seeds managed to grow shoots, and 180 Moringa shoots that managed to grow into Moringa trees ready for planting which will then be distributed to the people of Jonggol Village.
