Tomat, Inovasi Pangan, Manisan TomatAbstrak
Desa Deram di Sumatera Utara memiliki potensi pertanian yang belum tergarap optimal, khususnya pada komoditas tomat (Solanum lycopersicum), yang sering kali terbuang percuma akibat keterbatasan penanganan pascapanen. Proyek pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan memberdayakan warga setempat dengan memperkenalkan manisan tomat kering sebagai inovasi produk olahan pangan yang berkelanjutan. Melalui metode penelitian tindakan partisipatif (participatory action research), kegiatan ini melibatkan terutama ibu rumah tangga dan pemuda setempat dalam lokakarya partisipatif pada bulan Juli 2025, yang memadukan metode demonstrasi, praktik langsung, serta penggunaan kuesioner pre-test dan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan peserta; mereka mampu mempraktikkan kembali proses pengeringan dan pembuatan manisan secara mandiri serta menunjukkan minat untuk melakukan diversifikasi produk berbasis tomat. Inovasi ini tidak hanya memperkuat ketahanan pangan tetapi juga menumbuhkan jiwa kewirausahaan lokal, sehingga membuka peluang bagi Desa Deram untuk menjadi pusat pengolahan pangan berbasis tomat di wilayah tersebut.Referensi
