The utilization of local food processing in this area is still quite less than optimal. Even though the potential for processed local food can be marketed at tourist sites in the surrounding area. The lack of knowledge and skills in the community are caused of the low utilization of local food which is negligible. From this explanation, the service team tries to provide education and skills to partners in utilizing local food. Partners who participate in this activity are housewives who live in the  Terong 1, Terong Dlingo Village. The purpose of this service is to increase the knowledge and skills of partners in local food processing in the region.
