[Objective]
To take part in succeeding SDGs to reduce amount of food waste, by processing it into fish
feed to farm catfish, which results could be distributed to community in cooperatives to increase
food security.
[Method]
This research conducts a single-case study. The subject of this study is Kelompok Tani Bina
Tenaga Inti Rakyat (KTNA), that has been processing food waste into fish feed since 2011. Data were
taken by observation and interview on March 2017, located at Sukmajaya, Depok, West Java.
Content-analysis method was used to analyse the data.

[Result]
From the observation, the subject explained that the raw materials used consist of mackerel
heads, rice, sausages, meat, and dough waste. KTNA has successfully reduced 45 tons or
approximately 5.5% from total food waste in a month, producing around 13.5 ton of fish feed with
IDR 240,000,000 profit per month.
Those activities are set to be implemented in a more extended scope in community by using
social empowerment. We could use the existing Cooperative system to accomodate the food waste
processing. This system would be implemented in 63 districts at Depok. With 1.5 tons of food waste
per district per month, 94.5 tons are achieved. All food waste would be used as raw materials in fish
feed production. 30% of the resulting fish feed would be utilized to feed the catfish, while the rest
would be sold to the markets. Each Cooperative unit is estimated to harvest 2250 kg of catfish per
month, and this amount would be divided into two; distributed to Cooperative members, and sold
to maintain Cooperatives financial balance. From a Cooperative consists of minimum 100 members,
we are able to reduce about 11.6% of food waste per month and can be multiplied as the members
increase.
With 100 members and 1125 kg of fish distributed, each Cooperative member would have
11.25 kg of catfish per month. Such quantity could help increasing rate of fish consumption per
capita from 3.4 kg to 11.25 kg, exceeding national fish consumption rate target which is 4.5 kg. The
rest 1125 kg would be sold to the markets by involving members to be distributors. Such members
activity would be counted as participation rate in Cooperative transaction. This participation rate

members in the end of the month.
[Conclusion]
Food waste could be reduced by processing it into fish feed. Cooperative is feasible to be
managed by empowering society and also ensures its members welfare. These food waste-based
Cooperatives are purposed to welfare its members in terms of food security and financial.
As Cooperative goes by time and becomes more sustained, there could be more
developments in terms of fish diversifications and processed foods. By that, community would be
more eager to decrease food waste, develop their entrepreneurial behavior, and increase their food
security. Collaboration of multi-stakeholders is surely needed so that this Cooperative system could
be implemented properly in community with maximum rate of success.
