Real Work Lectures (KKN) have allowed students to apply the knowledge gained in lectures and contribute to community development. One of the inspiring stories came from Nata, a 2020 Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Study Program student who underwent KKN in Nanusa District, Talaud Islands, North Sulawesi. Nata chose this location because she wants to explore remote areas in Indonesia and deepen her understanding of the various potentials that exist. Nanusa, an area at the northern tip of Indonesia directly bordering the Philippines, challenges Nata with all its uniqueness.
