Keywords:
Budikdamber, urban agriculture, community empowerment, food security, sustainable developmentAbstract
Urban and peri-urban areas in Indonesia face challenges in food production due to shrinking agricultural land from residential and industrial expansion. Banjararum Village, Singosari District, Malang Regency, represents a community with strong local agricultural potential, particularly in mustard and pakcoy cultivation. This study reports on a community service program introducing Budikdamber (fish cultivation in buckets) to enhance household food security. The program involved socialization, hands-on demonstrations, and interactive discussions with members of the Women Farmers Group and Brassican youth. Participants actively engaged in the sessions, asking questions about fish species, water management, and nutrient supplementation, and successfully practiced preparing media, planting seedlings, and transferring acclimatized fish into buckets. Budikdamber proved to be a simple, cost-effective, and space-efficient system, allowing dual harvests of vegetables in approximately 30 days and fish in around 90 days. The program improved participants’ knowledge and skills, strengthened community empowerment, and promoted sustainable food production. This approach aligns with Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in achieving food security and improving health and well-being. The findings indicate that Budikdamber is a practical, scalable, and sustainable model for small-scale households facing limited land availability, offering opportunities for innovation, economic development, and increased local resilience.
