The activity stages include site surveys and coordination with relevant parties, socialization of the SFHAM concept, and training in innovative farming techniques such as hydroponics, the Dutch Bucket System (DBS), and the Organic Tower Garden (OTG). The results of the activity demonstrate success in enhancing residents’ knowledge and skills in managing their yards as sustainable food sources, as well as their ability to independently produce healthy food. SFHAM has proven to be an effective approach for local food security in urban areas when supported by continuous mentoring and active community participation. Evaluation and monitoring indicate the need for continuous mentoring and adaptation of methods to local conditions to ensure the sustainability of the program. Thus, the implementation of SFHAM is expected to support local food security, improve family economics, and contribute to sustainable environmental management in urban areas.</em></strong></p> Alfi Rumidatul Noor Rahmawati Dewi Larasati Yani Suryani Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Rural Development and Applied Technology 2025-08-21 2025-08-21 2 1 10.5614/jrdat.2025.2.1.1 https://journals.itb.ac.id/index.php/jrdat/article/view/26052 <p><strong><em>This study aims to evaluate the Community Satisfaction Index (CSI) associated with the implementation of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) in enhancing high-lycopene tomato cultivation. Employing a quantitative survey design, the research assessed participant satisfaction across nine core components, including program requirements, procedures, service delivery, costs, staff competence, and infrastructure support. The results indicate a generally high level of satisfaction, with the overall CSI reaching 92.06, which classifies the program performance as “very good.” Among the assessed components, the Competence of Program Staff received the highest rating, reflecting the vital role of knowledgeable facilitators in ensuring program success. While most components were positively evaluated, facilities and infrastructure emerged as areas requiring further development to enhance long-term sustainability. The use of simple yet impactful technologies, coupled with clear communication and open knowledge-sharing sessions, contributed to the program’s positive reception. These findings suggest that the program was well-accepted by the community and is considered feasible for continuation and potential expansion in similar agricultural contexts.</em></strong></p> Pathmi Noerhatini Maryam Al Lubbu Dicky Rezadi Munaf Amanna Dzikrillah L.
