Pandemi Covid-19 di Indonesia menyebabkan dikeluarkannya kebijakan yang berpengaruh pada aktivitas kehidupan masyarakat. Salah satunya yaitu himbauan agar masyarakat tetap tinggal dan melakukan aktivitas dari rumah. Keterbatasan selama pandemic, menyebabkan masyarakat berpikir untuk keluar dari masalah terutama dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan pangan. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan tridharma perguruan tinggi diinisiasi berupa program pengabdian masyarakat dengan tema urban farming bertujuan untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut. Urban farming atau berkebun di rumah menjadi populer di tengah pandemi Covid-19 sehingga berdampak pada meningkatnya permintaan terhadap tanaman hias dan sayuran. Pemanfaatan pekarangan rumah yang masih tersisa atau area rooftop, merupakan solusi berkebun di lahan yang terbatas. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilaksanakan di Desa Cihideung Ilir, Kecamatan Ciampea, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat dengan peserta yaitu ibu-ibu kader penggerak Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK).
