Abstract

The community’s demand for medicinal plants continues to grow along with the back to nature trend, which encourages the use of natural ingredients to maintain health. However, in Karangmojo Village, Weru Subdistrict, Sukoharjo Regency, many home gardens remain underutilized, even though they have the potential to serve as a source of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA). This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of members of the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) group in cultivating TOGA to support family health self-reliance. The program was conducted on January 15, 2025, at the Karangmojo Village Hall using a participatory approach, including counseling, technical training, field practice, and mentoring. Participants were introduced to various medicinal plants that are easy to cultivate, planting and maintenance techniques, as well as their applications for simple home remedies. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge and skills, reflected in their high enthusiasm during practice and their commitment to developing TOGA gardens in their respective yards. A demonstration TOGA garden was successfully established in one participant’s yard as a replicable model. This activity not only provided direct benefits for family health but also opened up economic opportunities through processing harvested medicinal plants into marketable herbal products. The program is expected to be sustainable with continuous mentoring and the establishment of a village-level TOGA working group.

Abstract

Organic waste management is becoming increasingly important in responding to current global environmental challenges. In this context, this community service aims to explore the potential for using organic waste as a substrate for hydroponic media in building a greener agricultural future in a sustainable system. The use of organic waste as a substrate for hydroponic media has great potential in supporting plant growth, because it contains available N, P2O5, K2O and C-organic nutrients which are sufficient for plant growth and development. Plants grown in organic waste-based substrates show comparable or even better growth compared to plants grown in conventional substrates. The use of organic waste in hydroponic farming also has a positive impact on the environment. More effective management of organic waste helps reduce environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This community service program has also succeeded in increasing public awareness and knowledge about organic waste management and hydroponic technology. Thus, the use of organic waste as a substrate for hydroponic media offers great potential in improving organic waste management, increasing agricultural productivity, and reducing negative impacts on the environment. This activity makes a real contribution to building a more sustainable agricultural future and contributes to global efforts in facing increasingly complex environmental challenges.
