In order to achievethese objectives, KKN-PPM has activities with methods of training, demonstration and assistance. As a pilot program,activities have been realized, namely: 1) improving community knowledge and skills for fertilizer, and vegetablecultivation of hydroponic systems; and 2) the fulfillment of some vegetable needs through optimization of pageutilization. If these activities are sustainable and growing, more energetic living conditions are needed to meet the needsof plant foods in the poor.
