Abstract

Limited water availability, underutilization of local resources, and limited production diversification constrain food production in dryland rural communities. This community empowerment program aimed to strengthen community capacity through integrated chicken, tilapia, and horticultural production while establishing a foundation for local food supply chain readiness in Oenif Village, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The program involved 20 community members and used a participatory approach consisting of initial assessment, training, demonstration, hands-on practice, mentoring, and evaluation. Changes in community capacity, water use, liquid organic fertilizer production, and commodity productivity were evaluated using descriptive comparisons of conditions before and after program implementation. The mean community capacity score increased from 31.75 to 86.67, representing a gain of 54.92 points. Water use in the 100 m² demonstration plot decreased from 450 to 250 L per day, equivalent to a 44.44% reduction in water use. The group also produced liquid organic fertilizer from poultry waste for use in horticultural production. Horticultural production increased from 120 to 380 kg per season, while egg production increased from 12 to 45 kg per month. In addition, tilapia production generated 150 kg per harvest cycle as a new production component. These results indicate that integrated production can strengthen community technical capacity, improve resource utilization, and diversify local food production. The intervention provides an initial foundation for strengthening production continuity, product aggregation, and future market development at the community level.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major nutritional challenge in Indonesia, particularly among vulnerable households with limited access to diverse and nutritious foods. This community service program aimed to improve household food production and community capacity among stunting-affected families in Penfui Timur Village, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, through healthy lifestyle education and the implementation of integrated aquaponics–poultry technology. The program employed a Participatory Action Approach involving 12 households in initial assessment, education, technical training, technology implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Changes in knowledge of healthy lifestyle practices were assessed descriptively using pre-test and post-test scores, while technology adoption and food production were evaluated based on program monitoring records. The average knowledge score increased from 45 to 78, indicating a descriptive improvement following the educational intervention. Technology adoption reached 83.3%, with 10 of the 12 participating households adopting the introduced technology. The six integrated production units generated a total of approximately 20 kg of vegetables and 20 kg of catfish per month. Total egg production across the units or households monitored increased from 8 to 20 eggs per month. These findings demonstrate the potential of combining health education with integrated household food production technology to diversify food sources and support household food security. However, household food consumption, economic benefits, and child nutritional outcomes were not directly measured. Further evaluation is therefore needed to assess the sustainability of technology adoption, actual household food consumption, economic impacts, and nutritional outcomes. This participatory approach may provide a practical model for strengthening household food production and community capacity in other communities facing similar challenges.
