ABSTRACT:    


The purpose of this community service is to provide information on how to maximize natural resources located in Pamulang which is an area that has considerable potential in producing fruit, but has not been utilized optimally by farmers, most of the jwnis produced are directly sold raw only in the form of fruit without being processed by them. This is due to the lack of innovation from the local community. Therefore, the processing of pineapple fruit, one of which can be done by packing pineapple fruit in a plastic zipper, is intended to extend the shelf life of the fruit, maintain nutritional value, and increase the economic value of the fruit. With this processing empowerment, it is hoped that it can help improve the village economy and utilize pineapple raw materials which are more durable to bring up various innovations in processed fruit in a sustainable manner.

INTRODUCTION

The people of South Tangerang still do not understand the cultivation and utilization of natural resources (Kusumaningsih et al., 2018). Errors in determining raw materials in the manufacture of natural resources and a lack of understanding for managing natural resources (Ferawati & Rahmadan, 2020).

Something that is in the element of society must always teach human life in filling their lives, that is, struggling seriously is the most important thing in life by providing benefits to others (Septanta et al., 2022). life teaches its adherents to help each other, to meet their basic needs, of course. Those who have such a situation include the middle to lower class society who should be cared for by the state and become a shared moral responsibility as citizens of Indonesia, of course (Wibisono et al., 2021).

Currently there is still a corona virus that can spread quickly and infect easily all age groups (Natalia et al., 2020). This virus infects from one human to another both through the air and close/close contact with infected patients (Sugiharto, 2012). General symptoms caused by this disease are fever, cough, difficulty breathing, headache, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting (Levani et al., 2021). Seeing the pattern of spread of the Corona Virus which is very fast and there is no medicine that can cure this disease, precautions are needed (Pantur et al., 2022).

The government has promoted a healthy lifestyle by implementing the use of masks, washing hands with soap, applying coughing/sneezing ethics, and avoiding crowds (Pongkot et al., 2022). Another thing that needs to be of concern to the public in order to avoid this virus is to maintain the body's immune system by consuming nutritious foods that contain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (Sibuea, 2021). The body's metabolic process will take place well if the nutrients are absorbed properly, this is where vitamins play a role (Terapan, 2022). Meanwhile, the body's immune system will be strengthened by minerals that act as coenzymes and cofactors as well as antioxidants. This will determine the condition of the patient infected with the virus. In general, if a person's immune system is strong, there is no need for special treatment for this virus because the virus is self-medication (Abdullah et al., 2021).

By looking at the data on the spread of the corona virus in Indonesia so quickly reaching all regions, Pamulang University is taking a joint role with the government and the community to jointly overcome this outbreak. Communities in remote areas, most of their lives are limited and concerned, due to the lack of human resources and information obtained. Therefore our helping hand as brothers and sisters is of course very meaningful, not only with sympathy, but there needs to be real action by providing educational assistance, material or in the form of property (Sama’Iradat Tito et al., 2021). Even though this assistance is not sufficient to meet all their needs, at least it can give them a zest for life, that the essence of an education is for the benefit of a just and prosperous people. That our responsibility is to have concern for them (Warnasih et al., 2020).

Based on this background, we from the Community Service Program Team (PKM) at Pamulang University (UNPAM), consisting of 3 lecturers and 3 students, are called to participate and help solve problems faced by the community. The title of this Community Service is Empowerment of Natural and Human Resources for a Productive Economy.

Natural resources are all contents contained in the biosphere, as a potential source of energy, both hidden in the lithosphere (soil), hydrosphere (water) and atmosphere (air) which can be used to fulfill human needs directly or indirectly. Herman (Purba et al., 2020) states that: Natural Resources are resources that are formed due to natural forces, for example land, water and waters, biodata, air and space, minerals, landscapes, geothermal and natural gas, wind , tides and ocean currents. So natural resources are everything that exists around humans that is not made by humans, and that is found on the surface of the earth, whether it is in the soil, sea or water and in the air, which can be utilized to meet the needs of humans and other organisms directly. or indirectly. According to their nature, natural resources can be divided into 3, namely as renewable natural resources Animals, plants, microbes, water and soil. It is called renewable because it can reproduce and has the power to regenerate (recover).

Non-renewable natural resources, for example: oil, natural gas, coal and other mining materials. Natural resources that are not exhausted, for example air, sun, tidal energy, ocean energy and deep water hydrological cycle. Based on Potential According to the potential use, natural resources are divided into several types, including material natural resources; are natural resources that are utilized in their physical form. For example, stone, iron, gold, wood, cotton fiber, glass, and roselle.

Space natural resources; is a natural resource in the form of space or a place to live, for example the area of ​​land (land) and space Waterfall is a potential energy resource for electricity generation. Expanse of land is a spatial resource

Based on its type, natural resources are divided into two as natural resources non-biological (abiotic); also called physical natural resources, namely natural resources in the form of inanimate objects. Such as minerals, land, water, and windmills.

Energy sources are natural resources whose energy can be utilized Those originating from the ground, for example oil, natural gas, coal, those originating from the air, for example the sun, wind, water can be used to generate electricity, those derived from biomass, for example wood, twigs, other substances starch, sugar and gums derived from plants and others.
