Abstract

SIPRODIV memanfaatkan ketinggian sumber air sebagai sumber tenaga (energi) irigasi dan pemupukan yang efisien. Pengabdian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) dan untuk evaluasi keberhasilan program menggunakan Participatory Action Research (PAR). Kegiatan pemberdayaan dilakukan melalui sosialisasi, pelatihan, dan pendampingan intensif. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dan kemandirian Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) Kerabat di kebun sayuran melalui penerapan teknologi pertanian modern berbasis drip fertigasi gravitasi. Hasil pelaksanaan program menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman dan keterampilan anggota KWT dalam instalasi dan pengoperasian sistem drip fertigasi gravitasi, budidaya hortikultura, serta pengolahan pascapanen dan pemasaran produk. Terbetuknya sebelas bedengan sayuran yang berisi tanaman hortikultura seperti cabai, terong, pakcoy, bayam, dan kangkung.
