The first material explains about harmony in the ecosystem in the surrounding environment consisting of biotic and abiotic components, landscapes (rivers, rice fields, and gardens), interactions of living things and natural disasters. 

“The second material is about waste utilization, including the definition of waste, the origin of waste, types of waste, and waste utilization. Then this program ends with a tour to the Agribusiness and Technology Park (ATP) IPB University,” he explained.
