PENGEMBANGAN USAHA KREATIF BERBASIS PKK DALAM MENDUKUNG KETAHANAN PANGAN KELUARGA

Abstract

Family food security is a strategic issue in socio-economic development, particularly amidst persistently high stunting rates and the challenges of limited food access in Indonesia. One potential approach to addressing this issue is local-based community empowerment through the active participation of the Family Empowerment and Welfare Program (PKK). This community service activity was conducted in Tampo Cluring Village, Banyuwangi Regency, with the aim of strengthening family food security by optimizing yard utilization and developing creative businesses based on locally harvested produce by PKK women. The method used was a participatory approach, involving residents of Neighborhood Association (RW) 2 in five stages: problem identification, action planning, training and planting, periodic observation, and joint reflection. Technical training included the creation of organic planting media, vegetable and tuber cultivation techniques, and processing harvested produce into economically valuable products. The main results showed that the majority of families in Tampo Cluring Village, specifically in RW 2, successfully managed their yards into productive organic gardens, producing a monthly harvest. Family Welfare Movement (PKK) members are able to develop creative business products based on local foods with significant added value, such as processed products from cassava, breadfruit, and corn, as well as culinary specialties that attract the market. In addition to increasing family income, this activity also fosters an entrepreneurial spirit and awareness of the importance of sustainable food security. This community service demonstrates that the synergy between education, economic empowerment, and active community involvement can strengthen sustainable food security. This program can be replicated in other regions with similar conditions as an integrative model based on local potential and the creative economy.
