This service activity was carried out in Fadoro Lauru Village with the aim of increasing farmers' knowledge about sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata) cultivation practices. The low productivity and technical skills of farmers were the main reasons for choosing this topic. Implementation methods included counseling, field practice demonstrations, pre-test and post-test. Results showed an increase in farmers' understanding by 35% after the activity, and average land productivity reached 0.835 kg/m². The output of the activity is an increase in the capacity of farmers and a follow-up plan in the form of continued cultivation by farmer groups. These results show that targeted technical education can increase farmers' productivity and self-reliance.
