Abstract

The aim of this community service is to introduce and train local farmer community about hydroponic NFT system design combined with IoT (Internet of Thing), to support local farmer community and support food security in Ancol Village, Sindangkasih District, Ciamis Regency. The partners' main problems are limited fertile land, low productivity of conventional agriculture, and lack of access to modern technology. Methods for implementing activities include outreach, training, building a modular hydroponic greenhouse, installing a Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) hydroponic system, as well as implementing IoT sensors. Interim results show an increase in farmers' knowledge and skill capacity. The achievements of this program are to provide a socio-economic impact and create sustainability-oriented hydroponic farming community to enhance local farmer income.
