method that is particularly useful for developing soft
skills, which they do not get in a classroom learning
and Increased student awareness of the values ​that
made​​ sublime organic farmers, particularly in
preserving the environment and health food

• Service learning activities have been integrated into

the curriculum in FP-UKWK so that they are easier in
implementation, despite still being a new learning
method
