PENGEMBANGAN SAYURAN VERTIKULTUR MELALUI PEMBERDAYAAN MAJELIS TAKLIM DI KELURAHAN PAMPANG KOTA MAKASSAR

Abstract

The actualization of the commitment of the Muslim University of Indonesia (UMI) that cares about the environment is manifested by the efforts of community development in the village of Pampang located adjacent to the campus of UMI, conducted through the application of technology. The objectives of the technology implementation activities are (1) to provide training to women religious groups (Majelis Taklim) in Pampang on environmental hygiene, sorting and processing waste for composting for vegetable cultivation; (2) provide vegetable training and skills by Verticulture system to women's religious groups (Majelis Taklim) in Pampang so that community groups become more economically independent. The two types of activities are the main activities given to women's religious groups (Majelis Taklim) to utilize their free time. Both types of activities received positive responses from the trainees and the accompaniment reflected in their attendance and antuasiame responses in each meeting. Organic waste processing activities need to be increased into business scale which will also increase the family income and also support the Makassar city government program.
