<![CDATA[Bumiaji Sejahtera Agricultural and Rural Self-Help Training Center (P4S) plays a strategic role as an agricultural training center in Batu City but still faces limited smart farming facilities and access to agricultural commodity price information. This community service program aimed to improve young farmers’ knowledge, operational skills, and readiness to adopt technology through Internet of Things devices, a greenhouse monitoring application, and an agricultural commodity price information and forecasting platform. The program involved needs assessment, module development, device installation and demonstration, training, field practice, mentoring, and evaluation. Fifteen young farmers participated in the program. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-activity questionnaires, practical assessments, and pre-test and post-test instruments. The participants’ average score increased from 58 to 74, representing a 16-point improvement. Furthermore, 93.3 percent of participants considered the system easy to understand, 80 percent intended to use it within one month, and 73.3 percent were able to operate it independently. The program produced reusable IoT-based monitoring devices, training modules, and digital platforms that strengthened participants’ initial capacity and technology adoption readiness.]]>
