ABSTRACT
The Collaborative Community Service Program (KKN) 45 in Krasak Village, Kedungjajang District, Lumajang Regency, was carried out to address community issues such as economic dependence on annual sugarcane harvests, dry soil conditions that do not support conventional agriculture, and low household food independence. Through the leading program HEMMATANI (Efficient Hydroponics for Community Independence to Accelerate Innovative Farming), the KKN team introduced a simple farming method, namely the Non-Substrate Wick System Hydroponics, which is cost-effective and environmentally friendly by utilizing waste materials as planting media. The activities were conducted in three stages: socialization on the importance of food independence, technical training for creating hydroponic installations, and monitoring plant growth at participants' homes. A total of 60 housewives became the primary beneficiaries, considering their strategic role as household consumption managers. The training results showed high enthusiasm, participants' skills improved, and 80% of the monitored hydroponic installations produced mustard and water spinach plants in good condition (an average height of 4–6 cm and 3–5 leaves after seven days). This program not only provides technical knowledge but also practical skills, enabling the community to not just be beneficiaries but to become empowerment actors themselves. Thus, HEMMATANI becomes an effective model for community empowerment that can enhance agricultural literacy to promote food independence based on simple agricultural technology.
Keywords: hydroponics, community empowerment, food self-sufficiency.
