Pendampingan Masyarakat dalam Implementasi Permakultur untuk Mewujudkan Produktivitas Lahan Pekarangan yang Berkelanjutan

Abstract

The utilization of home garden land is one of the strategic efforts to support household food security and realize sustainable agriculture. The community of Padas Village, Ngawi Regency, has not yet optimized the potential of home gardens as productive land due to limited knowledge and skills in its management. This community service activity aims to increase community capacity through assistance in the implementation of permaculture so that they can optimize the productivity of home garden land in a sustainable manner. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which includes observation, socialization, training, field practice, assistance, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The results show an increase in community knowledge and skills in applying permaculture principles, such as organic compost production, utilization of household waste, cultivation of food crops, and more productive arrangement of home gardens. Overall, permaculture-based assistance has proven effective in promoting the productive and sustainable use of home garden land.
