Research related to community service is research where the service can be used properly. The study setting in this research was determined by community service and independence that occurred in Lubuk Bungasari Village, Ukui subdistrict, Pelalawan district, which coincided with a KT100 farmer group, namely oil palm. Trying to get up and make the most of what is available has been compounded by the impact of Covid-19 or the pandemic which has made the community and farmer groups think again about looking for sources of income and managing existing areas well by utilizing terraces. The Covid 19 pandemic hit the community so hard that KT 100 Nusa Bakti took the initiative by utilizing several plants such as watermelon, benguk, bitter melon and chili. So that it can be used to support and revive, especially when replanting oil palms, oil palms cannot produce so that people are required to be independent and create new innovations. So that we can encourage groups to work together, both among educational institutions and villages. This research aims to determine the independence of the community in the Nusa Bakti 100 farmer group in utilizing terraces as agricultural land to support the economy and help the development of oil palm independently. In the research, the method used is qualitative. by conducting interviews and going into the field. Based on the research results, it is known that in the palm oil era, the economic conditions accompanied by the Covid-19 pandemic made the community become independent by creating an alternative where the community of the Nusa Bakti farmer group utilized their terraced land with plants that were quite profitable. So that economic conditions can continue as the economy improves by farming and utilizing terraces, they can fulfill primary needs in recovering and surviving after the pandemic by farming.
