Abstract

is still limited to household consumption and fresh sales, resulting in low economic value. To increase the added value of coconuts and empower the community, training on Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) production was conducted for 30 PKK members and 9 village officials. This activity was held on June 24, 2025, at the Simaeasi Village office, using lecture methods, direct practice, and technical assistance. The training covered all stages of VCO production, from coconut selection, grating, coconut milk pressing, fermentation, sedimentation, and the oil refining process. The training results showed that participants experienced a significant increase in knowledge and skills. From 5 mature coconuts, approximately 300 mL of VCO was produced with clear characteristics, coconut aroma, and not rancid. Economic simulations showed that the selling value of VCO is much higher than that of fresh coconuts. Thus, this training successfully increased the community's capacity in coconut processing and opened up new business opportunities based on home industries.

Abstract

Rapid urbanization has led to an increased demand for food in urban areas. At the same time, land limitations and dependence on external supplies pose significant challenges to food security. Urban agriculture is an innovative solution for producing local food using limited land and modern agricultural techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, vertical farming, and rooftop gardens. This approach allows urban agriculture to be more resource-efficient, reduces distribution costs, and minimizes its environmental impact by lowering its carbon footprint. In addition to environmental benefits, urban agriculture also brings social and economic benefits by raising awareness of food sustainability, creating new business opportunities, and enhancing food independence in urban communities. This research uses a literature review method to examine various articles discussing the development, obstacles, and implementation of urban agriculture in different countries. The results show that urban agriculture makes an important contribution to improving food security while also providing a sustainable alternative for the global food system. Therefore, promoting the growth of urban agriculture from the perspective of sustainable food security requires support from government institutions, the private sector, and local communities.
