The Pendampingan Budidaya Sayuran Pada Lahan Pekarangan Tipe III Secara Vertikultur Di Sukaharja Ketapang

Abstract

The partner of this Community Service Program (PKM) was the Permata Dalong 1 Family Empowerment Post Group, RT 040/RW 004, Sukaharja Village, Delta Pawan District, Ketapang Regency. Initially, the partner group had limited knowledge of vegetable cultivation using the verticulture system in home garden areas. However, through the community service program that mentored vegetable cultivation in Type III home gardens using verticulture techniques, participants’ skills and enthusiasm increased in using home gardens to support household food needs. The methods employed in this program included education, training, extension activities, and continuous mentoring to address the challenges faced by the community. These activities enhanced the participants’ knowledge and practical skills in verticulture-based vegetable cultivation, enabling them to improve household food self-sufficiency. The program was implemented in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The main output of this activity was the introduction and application of an appropriate technology: a verticulture-based vegetable cultivation system.
