Vegetable crops need sufficient water to support growth. Lack or excess of water will cause stunted growth and even death of plants due to dryness or root rot. Appropriate irrigation technique is the key success in cultivating vegetable crops. Kelompok Kerja (Pokja) RT 01 RW 04, Karanglo Indah has a work program, namely women empowerment in supporting family food availability, by cultivating vegetables in the house yard. The problem is in watering. Technical guidance is provided through presentation, discussion and demonstration activities. Presentation and discussion aim to increase knowledge and comprehension of irrigation systems, equipment procurement, installation procedures, operating and maintenance procedures for drip irrigation. The demonstration aims to improve skills in carrying out procedures that have been presented in the presentation and discussion. The results obtained are increased knowledge, comprehension and skills for implementing drip irrigation so that better quality vegetables are produced.

Urban yards can be used for organic urban farming by growing vegetables without the use of chemicals. By doing this, the need for nutritious and healthy food at the family level can be met. One of the disadvantages of growing vegetables in the yard is neglecting plant care, especially watering. This causes the plants to lack water and the resulting vegetables wilt and even die. A drip irrigation system using either a hose or emitter can be applied to meet plant water needs. However, the characteristics of organic urban farming actors have an impact on the choice of irrigation type applied in their respective yards. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the characteristics of respondents and identify the considerations of respondents in determining the type of irrigation used. The analytical method used is descriptive qualitative. The research results showed that the majority of respondents were of productive age, with the highest level of education being high school, and the type of work was as workers (civil servants, private sector and entrepreneurs). Considerations in determining the type of irrigation are the level of complexity, availability of time, ease of implementation.

Abstrak Dalam upaya pemenuhan keamanan dan ketahanan pangan, khususnya di tingkat keluarga, maka pertanian perkotaan secara organik merupakan konsep yang dapat diterapkan di tingkat rumah tangga. Budidaya sayuran secara organik di pekarangan dapat dilakukan oleh ibu rumah tangga karena penerapannya mudah dan sederhana. Upaya untuk mampu menerapkan praktik-praktik budidaya organik harus didukung dengan pengetahuan, pemahaman dan keterampilan. Oleh karena itu perlu diberikan sosialisasi mengenai konsep pertanian perkotaan secara organik, mendemonstrasikan praktik-praktik budidaya organik yang baik dan beberapa pelatihan yang mendukung efektivitas budidaya organik, antara lain pembuatan kompos dan pembuatan insektisida/pestisida secara alami. Kegiatan sosialisasi, demonstrasi plot, dan pelatihan dilakukan di lahan RT 01 RW 04 Kelurahan Balearjosari, Kecamatan Blimbing, Kota Malang. Para peserta merupakan anggota PKK di wilayah tersebut. Hasil yang diperoleh dari kegiatan tersebut adalah peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan dan kemampuan para peserta untuk menerapkan di lahan pekarangan masing-masing sehingga dapat memenuhi keamanan dan ketahanan pangan keluarga.Kata Kunci: ketahanan pangan; pertanian organic; pertanian perkotaanAbstract In an effort to realize food safety and security, especially at the household level, organic urban farming is a concept that can be applied at the household level. Cultivating vegetables organically in the yard can be done by homemakers because it is easy and simple. Efforts to be able to implement organic cultivation practices must be supported by knowledge, understanding and skills. Therefore, it is necessary to provide dissemination regarding the concept of organic urban farming, demonstrate good organic cultivation practices and trainings that support the effectiveness of organic cultivation, including composting and making natural insecticides/pesticides. Dissemination activities, plot demonstration and trainings were carried out on the land of RT 01, RW 04, Balearjosari Village, Blimbing District, Malang City. The participants are PKK members in the area. The results obtained from this activity are an increase in the knowledge, skills and ability of the participants to apply it in their respective yards so that they can fulfill the family's food safety and security.Keywords: food security; organic farming; urban farming
