Abstract
The existence of food waste is still a problem because the number has increased. On the one hand, the opening of restaurants and restaurants has increased the quantity of food waste resulting in a buildup of food waste. To overcome the problem of restaurant food waste buildup is to use this waste as land restoration material. The purpose of this research is to utilize food waste to improve soil physical and chemical properties. The research method was carried out by means of an incubation process, namely mixing the soil samples in the PT. Huadi with restaurant food waste. This study used a two-factor randomized block design method. The first factor is the incubation time (15 days, 30 days and 45 days) and the second factor is the addition of nitrogen (N). The stages in this research include soil sampling, incubation, laboratory analysis and data analysis. The results showed that incubation with an incubation time of 45 days was able to improve soil chemical characteristics as well as the addition of nitrogen nutrients
