Inisiasi Pengembangan Pertanian Urban Untuk Penguatan Ketahanan Pangan Pada Era Pandemi Di Jatiroto

Abstract

Hydroponics is a plant cultivation technique by changing the soil growing media to water growing media. Hydroponics can reduce the negative impact felt by the community due to the Covid19 pandemic because they often feel the impact of government policies to just stay at home so they feel Cabin Fever. Hydroponic farming during a pandemic is an activity that can minimize the negative activities carried out by the community to be turned into positive things and also minimize the community to buy vegetables in the market so that they do not feel physical contact with other communities and can harvest vegetables according to the heart's desire. A situation like this happened in Jatiroto Village, Jatiroto District, Lumajang Regency due to a covid-19 pandemic like this. Community empowerment to farm at home has been carried out using the method of providing materials, assistance from sowing seeds to harvesting. As a result, every community can be hydroponic with a variety of planted vegetables
