PENGABDIAN MASYARAKAT MELALUI PENANAMAN POHON BUAH UNTUK KETAHANAN PANGAN DAN PELESTARIAN LINGKUNGAN
No full textKegiatan pengabdian masyarakat melalui program Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) Kelompok 009 di Desa Sumur Welut RW 03 berfokus pada penanaman 25 pohon buah sebagai upaya peningkatan ketahanan pangan dan pelestarian lingkungan. Program ini dilaksanakan dengan pendekatan participatory action research (PAR) yang menekankan partisipasi aktif masyarakat dalam setiap tahap kegiatan. Pelaksanaan penanaman pohon buah seperti mangga, jambu, belimbing, kelengkeng, alpukat, dan srikaya dilakukan pada lahan-lahan kosong yang berpotensi dikembangkan, sehingga memberikan manfaat ekologis berupa peningkatan kualitas udara, penyerapan karbon, penurunan suhu, dan perbaikan kesuburan tanah. Selain itu, keberadaan pohon buah menciptakan peluang pemanfaatan hasil panen sebagai sumber pangan sehat dan potensi pengembangan ekonomi warga melalui UMKM berbasis hasil kebun. Program ini juga memperkuat nilai sosial berupa gotong royong, solidaritas, dan rasa memiliki terhadap lingkungan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa penanaman pohon buah tidak hanya menciptakan ruang hijau baru, tetapi juga menjadi model pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis lingkungan yang berkelanjutan dan dapat direplikasi di wilayah lain dengan karakteristik serupa. The community service program, conducted by Group 009 in Sumur Welut Village, RW 03, focused on planting 25 fruit trees as an effort to improve food security and environmental preservation. This program was implemented using a participatory action research (PAR) approach, emphasizing active community participation in every stage of the activity. The planting of fruit trees, including mango, guava, starfruit, longan, avocado, and soursop, was carried out on vacant land with potential for development, providing ecological benefits such as improved air quality, carbon sequestration, temperature reduction, and improved soil fertility. Furthermore, the presence of fruit trees creates opportunities to utilize the harvest as a source of healthy food and the potential for economic development for residents through garden-based MSMEs. This program also strengthens social values such as mutual cooperation, solidarity, and a sense of environmental ownership. The results of the activity indicate that the fruit tree planting not only creates new green space but also serves as a model for sustainable, environmentally-based community empowerment that can be replicated in other areas with similar characteristics
