Abstract

Gendingan Village, Surakata City is a dense settlement. Most of the land in this settlement has been covered by boarding houses because it is located close to the UNS Campus. This resulted in a lack of available land for farming. Green plants are difficult to find in Gendingan Village due to knowledge and training regarding preparing planting media, providing fertilizer and plant pots or containers from local materials. This hydroponic planting idea can be carried out by housewives who are members of the PKK group. Through the activities of the PKK group, it is hoped that hydroponic farming activities can be carried out in a more controlled and sustainable manner, meaning that it is not a short-term activity. Through the activities of the PKK women's group, hydroponic farming, which was originally only to meet family consumption needs, can later be enlarged into a valuable commodity crop. The community is very happy about the ABDIMAS Activity on Hydroponic training. Based on the results of the training conducted by the Open University, it is very beneficial for the community, especially for the supply of vegetables. The benefits of Hydroponic Vegetable Plants are felt by the community, this can be felt if you want to cook vegetables, just pick them and you will get fresh vegetables.
