BUDIDAYA SAYURAN SECARA HIDROPONIK : UPAYA PEMANFAATAN LAHAN KOSONG DAN MENAMBAH PENDAPATAN

Abstract

There is a group of church youth who are of productive age but do not yet have permanent jobs or work odd jobs, resulting in an uncertain income. On the other hand, the church has vacant land that is not being utilized. So the goal of this activity is to utilize the vacant land by cultivating hydroponic vegetables, which will be managed by the church youth, hopefully filling their spare time and increasing income from the sale of hydroponic vegetables. The vegetables grown will be fed to a hospital kitchen. The method applied in this activity includes several steps : land preparation, hydroponic system construction, training and counseling, and assistance in packing the harvest. At the end of the activity, participants can harvest the crops, pack them, and sell them to the hospital as planned. Thus, the vacant land has been utilized, while partners have gained the knowledge and skills to cultivate hydroponic plants and sell them to earn additional income.
