Abstract
This scientific article presents a community engagement initiative aimed at improving the local economy and promoting sustainable practices in the rural village of Kebaron, Indonesia. The study focuses on harnessing the potential of the abundant red guava fruit through the application of Green Productivity (GP) principles. The research team conducted a series of activities, including problem identification, potential product analysis, training sessions on red guava derivative production, and environmental education. The results demonstrated the successful development of innovative red guava derivative products such as red guava ice cream, leather, and juice. By involving the community and promoting environmentally friendly production techniques, the project contributed to the establishment of a sustainable and eco-conscious local industry. The findings highlight the importance of integrating GP concepts into rural communities, providing valuable insights for global researchers and professionals in the field of sustainable production and community empowerment.
