Abstract

Kelurahan Mugarsari, located in Tamansari Subdistrict, Tasikmalaya, has strong potential in both agriculture and Islamic education. The Santri Tani Mandiri program at Al Hikmah Islamic Boarding School, Tasikmalaya, integrated agricultural training and entrepreneurship to optimize land use and build self-reliance. Activities included crop cultivation, organic fertilizer, botanical pesticides, and catfish aquaculture, supported by socialization, training, and mentoring. Demonstration plots and ponds enabled experiential learning. Assessments of 20 participants (santri) showed improved technical skills, agribusiness knowledge, and entrepreneurial readiness. By involving pesantren leaders and local stakeholders, the program enhanced food security, developed training modules, and positioned pesantren as agro-educational hubs. This community service program was designed and implemented using a systematic approach that integrated science, technology, and participatory methods to improve the welfare and self-reliance of the pesantren community, specifically Al Hikmah Islamic Boarding School, Tasikmalaya.
