Abstract

Aquaponics is an agricultural system that combines fish farming (aquaculture) with soilless plant cultivation (hydroponics), which mutually support each other and provide dual benefits. When compared to conventional agricultural cultivation, aquaponics offers advantages in terms of efficient water use, minimal use of chemical fertilizers, and high yield productivity. The purpose of this community service is to provide training and mentoring in aquaponic cultivation systems to the Ani'fu farmer group in Fatuneno Village. The activity methods include site observation, preparation (aquaponic tools and materials), training, mentoring, and evaluation. The results obtained after the activity are that partners become aware of aquaponic technology, meet community needs, and provide economic impacts (savings on food expenditure or additional income from harvests). The application of aquaponic cultivation provides tangible results in increasing the knowledge and skills of partners, thereby greatly supporting food independence and enabling the development of new businesses for the local community.
