Pemberdayaan Ketahanan dan Keamanan Pangan Melalui Urban Farming di Masa Pandemi Covid-19

This service activity was carried out at RT 07 RW 03 Kendangsari Subdistrict, TenggilisMejoyo Village, Surabaya
City to increase food security and security amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic,
people are required to continue to innovate with existing limitations, one of which is planting using hydroponic
techniques to maintain food security during a pandemic by utilizing and optimizing vacant land in the middle of the
city. In this case, the government also plays a role in facilitating access to development with the help of a grant
called the Holistic Program for Village Development and Empowerment through the Ministry of Education and
Culture which is bridged by a team of grantees, namely Students of the Accounting Study Program, University of
Muhammadiyah Surabaya. The methods used in this activity are counseling, introduction, and practice of
hydroponic training as well as hydroponic cultivation coaching from seedling to harvesting, as well as how to sell
vegetables and diversify processed products from hydroponic vegetables. The result of this program is that it will
indirectly form food security and security in the surrounding area and increase new income for people affected by
the pandemic. To continue to motivate the community in the development of this activity, we will assist
empowerment by continuing to evaluate and monitor on an ongoing basis both offline and online.
