Sleman Regency produces the biggest waste pile, which is recorded at 701.95 tons/day, the highest among other Regencies/Cities. (www.sipsn.menlhk.go.id). National data shows that not all waste generated can be managed. Unmanaged waste is 12.4% per year. This unmanaged waste has the potential to cause significant environmental and health problems. Efforts to minimize organic waste have been carried out by Kronggahan residents, namely by utilizing waste bioconversion technology with maggot black soldier fly (BSF). Besides being able to reduce the generation of waste produced by BSF maggot, it can be used as an alternative fish feed that has economic value and high nutritional content for fish and livestock. With this technology using BSF, it can reduce organic waste by ± 70%. In addition to the use of organic waste, Padukuhan Kronggahan has also developed several activities such as the manufacture of processed ready-to-eat food products, the development of aquaponics and budikdamber (budidaya ikan dalam ember) where the crops can be an added value for food security in Padukuhan Kronggahan.
