Abstract

Hydroponic farming presents a sustainable alternative to conventional agriculture by requiring minimal land while producing high-yield crops. In regions with limited agricultural space, such as Landasan Ulin Selatan, promoting hydroponic vegetable cultivation can help improve food security and support nutritional needs. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge of the Pandan Sari Women Farmers Group regarding hydroponic techniques and to train them in cultivating local vegetables using hydroponics in home garden settings. The broader goal was to support stunting prevention efforts through improved access to nutritious vegetables. The program was conducted in Landasan Ulin Selatan Village, Liang Anggang Sub-district, Banjarbaru City. It involved a series of activities including Socialization and counselling sessions, hands-on training, mentoring in hydroponic cultivation practices, and educational evaluation using pre- and post-test questionnaires. The intervention led to a measurable improvement in participants' knowledge, with the average score 97.5% in the post-test. Additionally, the hydroponically grown vegetables demonstrated good quality and yield, confirming the effectiveness of the cultivation method. The program successfully improved participants’ knowledge and skills in hydroponic vegetable cultivation. By empowering local women to grow nutritious vegetables at home, this initiative has the potential to support efforts in reducing stunting, particularly by addressing the nutritional needs of children and mothers through sustainable local food sources.
