“…But when it came to the number of leaves, which is the part of the vegetable we eat, hydroponics did just as well as traditional farming. They suggest doing more research to understand the nutrition in the lettuce and how this method works for other vegetables (Gumisiriza et al, 2023).…”

This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing saline water as a nutrient solution in hydroponic systems to grow salt-tolerant plants. We evaluate crop production, nutrient uptake, and plant growth using a range of hydroponic techniques, such as aeroponics, deep water culture, and nutrient film, in comparison to conventional soil-based procedures. While examining the effects of different salinity levels on plant physiology, the study focuses on optimizing important characteristics in the hydroponic solution, such as pH, electrical conductivity, and nutrient concentration. According to preliminary research, some salt-tolerant plant species grow and adapt better in hydroponic systems, which presents a viable method for saline-tolerant sustainable agriculture. This study adds important knowledge for creating effective and sustainable solutions to problems with food production in areas where soil salinity is a problem.

“…Sehingga, dari permasalahan tersebut kegiatan pemberdayaan melalui urban farming menjadi hal yang sangat esensial untuk dilakukan. Urban farming dapat menjadi solusi dalam memanfaatkan lahan yang tersedia untuk budidaya tanaman dan peternakan, sehingga masyarakat desa dapat memenuhi kebutuhan pangan mereka secara mandiri dan meningkatkan ketahanan pangan secara keseluruhan (Gumisiriza et al, 2023;Steenkamp et al, 2021), seperti terlihat pada Gambar 1.…”

Abstrak: Pesatnya urbanisasi di Kabupaten Kediri berbanding lurus dengan peningkatan alih fungsi lahan pertanian. Hal ini perlahan mempengaruhi sumber ketahanan pangan masyarakat. Menipisnya lahan pertanian menjadi problematika baru yaitu kerentanan pangan mendatang bagi masyarakat di Kabupaten Kediri. Dari permasalahan tersebut, Pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam memanfaatkan lahan menjadi sumber pangan harian dengan menerapkan konsep urban farming salah (hidroponik). Mitra pada pengabdian ini adalah anggota PKK yang berjumlah 40 orang dan 10 anggota BUMDEs Desa Jongbiru, Jawa Timur. Metode yang digunakan pada kegiatan ini mencakup persiapan, pelaksanaanpersiapan pra pelatihan dan sosialisasi, dan evaluasi . Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian menunjukkan tercapainya transfer pengetahuan kepada mitra PKK dan BUMDEs serta mitra dalam pengabdian tertariksebesar 100%. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan untuk Tindakan coping oleh peserta untuk membuat pos-pos hidroponik sebagai sarana pemenuhan nutrisi sayur yang berkualitas dan mudah dijangkau setiap harinya.Abstract: The rapid urbanization in Kediri Regency correlates with the increase in agricultural land conversion. This phenomenon gradually affects the community's food security resources. The diminishing agricultural land poses a new problem, namely the future vulnerability of food security for the community in Kediri Regency. From this issue, this Community Engagement aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of the community in utilizing land as a source of daily sustenance by applying the concept of urban farming, specifically hydroponics. The collaborators in this engagement are members of the Family Welfare Movement (PKK) and the Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDEs) of Jongbiru Village, East Java. The methods employed in this activity encompass preparation, execution, and evaluation. The outcomes of the engagement activity demonstrate the successful transfer of knowledge to the PKK and BUMDEs collaborators, and these collaborators are interested in establishing hydroponic stations as a means to ensure access to quality vegetables for their daily nutritional needs.
