Abstract

Conventional vegetable cultivation using land planting media in the area of the Al-Quran Islamic
Boarding School is very difficult to do due to time constraints and technical abilities. This condition is experienced
by the academics of the Babussalam Al-Quran Islamic Boarding School in Selayar Regency. The school is located
in an area of about 7000 m2 and it is possible to cultivate vegetables in a hydroponic system. The program aims to
increase: 1) the knowledge and technical skills of vegetable cultivation in hydroponic systems for academics of the
Al-Quran Islamic Boarding School, 2) the skills of partner citizens about making nutrient solutions using
hydroponic systems which are easy and cheap, 3) improve food (vegetable) resilience for partner citizens. The
methods used were training, demonstration, and assistance with a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach.
Activities carried out include training and demonstrations on techniques for cultivating vegetables in hydroponic
systems, making the hydroponic solutions that are easy and inexpensive, and mentoring program of the vegetable
cultivation by using hydroponic systems. The specific target achieved was an increase in partner knowledge and
skills about vegetable cultivation techniques using hydroponic systems for academics of Al-Quran Islamic Boarding
School as well as an increase of partner skills about making cheap and easy hydroponic system solutions and food
(vegetable) security for partner citizens.
