Abstract

Urban farming is a cultivation innovation that is highly relevant for environments with limited land availability and can also function as a contextual learning medium in community-based educational settings, including the Sanggar Belajar (SB) of SIKL Kuala Lumpur. This study aimed to analyze perceptions and the potential implementation of urban farming as a cultivation innovation based on the views of three respondent groups: teachers/sanggar managers, parents of Grade 5 students, and Grade 5 students. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5). The respondents consisted of 4 teachers/sanggar managers, 7 parents, and 13 students. Data were analyzed using total scores, mean values, and the Respondent Achievement Level (TCR), and then interpreted into perception categories. The results showed that teachers/sanggar managers had a positive perception of urban farming, with a high category score (mean = 4.00; TCR = 80.00%), particularly in terms of conceptual understanding and its relevance to learning activities. Parents also demonstrated a positive perception in the high category (mean = 4.02; TCR = 80.48%), with the strongest support related to economic benefits, family access to fresh vegetables, and social cohesion. Meanwhile, students showed high to very high enthusiasm toward urban farming activities, especially in planting, caring for plants, harvesting, and feeling proud of consuming the harvest together. These findings indicate that urban farming has strong potential to be developed as a learning and community empowerment program at SB SIKL Kuala Lumpur. The main challenges are related to the availability of facilities, initial resource support, and sustained participation.

Abstract

Vegetable amaranth is a fast-growing leafy vegetable with high nutritional value and strong potential for sustainable cultivation. Livestock-manure compost is increasingly used as an environmentally friendly nutrient source to improve crop growth and reduce dependence on inorganic fertilizers. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different livestock-manure composts on the growth and yield of several vegetable amaranth varieties under polybag cultivation and to identify the most effective treatment combination. Method: The study was conducted in Jatisari Village, Kebumen District, Central Java, Indonesia, from January to February 2026. A quantitative experimental approach was applied using a 3 × 4 factorial randomized complete block design with nine effective blocks. The first factor was compost type, namely chicken-, goat-, and cow-manure compost, while the second factor was amaranth variety, namely green, uproot, red, and batik amaranth. Data were collected through direct plant measurements and analyzed using ANOVA followed by DMRT at the 5% level. Findings: The interaction between compost type and variety significantly affected plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh plant weight, dry plant weight, fresh root weight, and dry root weight, but did not significantly affect root length. The best overall performance was obtained from cow-manure compost combined with green amaranth (P3V1). Implications: Cow-manure compost is a promising organic input for improving vegetable amaranth productivity under polybag cultivation. Originality: This study provides comparative evidence on three livestock-manure composts across four amaranth varieties under local cultivation conditions.
