EMPOWERMENT OF KARANG TARUNA IN GAMPINGROWO VILLAGE WITH HYDROPONIC TRAINING

Abstract

Agriculture is a crucial sector for the people of Indonesia. This sector is a source of income, and most of the Indonesian Region is agricultural land. Along with the times in development, the farm sector experienced many obstacles (Waluyo et al., 2021; Wirawati & Arthawati, 2021). Constraints experienced include the availability of land converted into a residential function, agricultural products that are unsuitable due to pests and diseases, and the large number of migrants living in the village (Gayatri & Mahyuni, 2021; Warintan et al., 2020). Based on its geographical location, Gampingrowo Village is a lowland, so it is possible for agriculture, and most of the population earns a living as farmers (Central Bureau of Statistics for Sidoarjo Regency, 2018). Agricultural land is available as much as 2089.24 hectares and 1184.50 hectares as residential areas of 3605 .97 hectares. The availability of agricultural land has decreased apart from the increase in population, and it is also because much agricultural land has been sold to be converted into housing by the property industry(Statistik, 2018).
