<![CDATA[Background: This community-service program aimed to strengthen environmental literacy through urban-farming-based school practices to support Adiwiyata implementation at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Malang. Method: The intervention combined governance strengthening (Adiwiyata team and cadres), teacher training, hands-on urban farming (vertical gardening, simple NFT hydroponics, and mini composting), and mentoring–evaluation using the school PBLHS monitoring documents. The proposed technology specifications included 10 units of vertical gardening (±12 m²), one NFT hydroponic set (±10 m²; 50 L tank; 5W pump), and two stacked-bucket composters (2 kg organic waste/day). Results: Teacher pre–post data (N=18) indicated a substantial increase in environmental literacy scores from Low (Mean=58.42±3.20) to Good (Mean=82.22±2.32), with 38.89% reaching the Very Good category at posttest. Consistently, the school’s PBLHS monitoring reported that 90% of teachers integrated PRLH into the KTSP document and 90% implemented it in lesson plans and classroom practice. Conclusion: These results suggest that aligning governance, curriculum integration, and urban farming as a “living laboratory” provides a feasible and measurable pathway to sustainable environmental literacy improvement.]]>
