Abstract

This community service activity aims to increase the capacity of human resources in Wanaraja Village through the transfer of modern hydroponic technology with flannel fabric media. The training was aimed at 30 members of the Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) and was carried out offline on August 13, 2025. The activity method included five stages: pre-test, material provision, practical training, post-test, and documentation. The pre-test showed that the participants' initial knowledge of hydroponics was low (40% correct answers). The materials presented covered the basic concepts of hydroponics, advantages and disadvantages, types of systems, and cultivation techniques. The practical training emphasized the innovative use of flannel cloth as a planting medium and nutrient channeling wick in the wick system, which is considered more efficient and economical than rockwool. Post-test results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding and skills (80% correct answers), proving the effectiveness of the training. This innovation has the potential to optimize the utilization of narrow land, strengthen household food independence, and encourage the role of women in village development.
