Lingkungan Sehat dan Pangan Berkelanjutan: Strategi Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa Babulu Darat

Abstract

The Regular Community Service Program (KKN) conducted in Babulu Darat Village, Babulu District, is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the community in the areas of food security, health, and local economic empowerment. The activities are carried out through methods such as socialization, training, installation of educational media, and direct assistance to the community. Key programs include hydroponic farming training for Posyandu mothers to support food self-reliance, awareness campaigns on the prudent use of medications and antibiotics, education on preventing sexual violence and drug abuse, and a healthy living campaign through the installation of environmental posters and information boards in the TOGA park. Additionally, mentoring for SMEs was conducted to strengthen the marketing of local products using social media. The results of the implementation show an increase in community knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of healthy living, the use of simple technology for food security, and skills in digital marketing. This program has made a tangible contribution to supporting the realization of a healthier, more independent, and sustainably competitive community.
