<![CDATA[The Food Security Strengthening Program through Biosaka Education and Vegetable Seed Distribution in Bekiring Village, Pulung Sub-district, Ponorogo Regency, was implemented using the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. The program aimed to improve household food self-sufficiency by utilizing home yards and adopting environmentally friendly agricultural innovations. The methods included training on the production and application of Biosaka, vegetable cultivation practices using polybags, and the distribution of short-term vegetable seeds such as chili, tomato, and eggplant. The results indicate an increased community understanding of food diversification, collective awareness of yard utilization, and active participation in vegetable cultivation. The program’s strengths lie in its simple, low-cost, and practical methods, making it easily accepted by the community, particularly among low-income families. However, limitations such as restricted mentoring time and uneven technical comprehension among residents remain as challenges. Future program development should emphasize continuous mentoring, diversification of plant varieties, and the establishment of household farmer groups to ensure stronger and more sustainable community food security.]]>
