Abstract

Recently food waste has attracted many attention world wide and it requires a concrete solution. Foodstuffs lost during the processing is known as food losse, while left over or unconsumed food is known as food waste. Waste from tofu home industry still contains protein which may lead to emission of green house gases, i.e. nitrogen gases, expected to contribute to the climate change. Service learning is an effective pedagogical method which bridges service and learning through an actual experience and reflection to internalize values. In this study, a stand alone Environmental Service Learning (ESL) was incorporated in “Technology and Waste Utilization” course at Politeknik Tonggak Equator (POLTEQ), Pontianak. The ESL was conducted at a Tofu Home Industry to estimate the Nitrogen Footprint. Aims of this research were (1) to estimate the nitrogen footprint of the home based tofu production, and (2) to ascertain to what extent ESL application can improve environmental awareness among the students participating in the course. This research employed a qualitative approach, i.e. Participatory Action Research (PAR). The principle of PAR is involvement of individuals as an important element of the study. ESL is implemented in learning about nitrogen footprint calculation in a tofu home industry. Nitrogen footprint is a measure of anthropogenic nitrogen consumption and discharge. In this study nitrogen footprint and virtual nitrogen were used to estimate nitrogen gases discharged by the tofu industry using Life Cycle Assessment approach. The nitrogen footprint and virtual nitrogen were calculated based on protein contents of the waste and product with a conversion factor of 0.16. Total Nitrogen generated by the tofu industry are 2.368 kg, and 71.04 kg, 852.48 kg, 8524.8 kg, 85248 kg in 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, 10 years and 100 years, respectively. The results of pre-test and post-test showed that the ESL participants acquired a better knowledge on the pollution of tofu industry and its climate change implication. Improved cognitive, affective and psychomotoric competences were also found after the completion of ESL. Through the reflection session the participants are able to realize and have empathy on the challenges faced by tofu home industry owner and workers, as well as on the environmental impact of tofu production. Moreover, the ESL participants have committed to practice a more environmentally friendly food processing and consumption. Key words : Food Waste, LCA, Nitrogen Footprint, Environmental Service Learning
