<![CDATA[Coastal areas like Sanrobone Village, Takalar Regency, face a food security paradox where abundant marine products are not balanced by the availability of plant-based food, causing high household consumption expenditures. This community service aimed to implement urban farming (hydroponics and verticulture) through yard utilization to strengthen family food security. The method used was Participatory Action Research (PAR) combined with Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD). The activity was held on September 10, 2026, in Sanrobone Village, attended by 30 housewives. Interventions were measured through pre-post tests of urban agriculture understanding and crop yield evaluation. The results showed a significant increase in understanding scores from 45.2 to 82.5. Practical implementation successfully produced vegetable harvests (water spinach and bok choy) within 25 days, reducing average daily vegetable expenditures by IDR 18,500 per family. In conclusion, urban farming effectively diversifies food and reduces family expenses. Establishing a Village Food Bank is recommended for the sustainability of distribution and seed production.]]>
