Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Masyarakat Melalui Penanaman dan Pemasaran Sayur dan Buah Berbasis Ekonomi Syariah: Studi Kasus di Desa Sidorejo

Abstract

This community service program aims to empower the local economy through vegetable and fruit cultivation and marketing based on Islamic economic principles in Sidorejo Village, Pagelaran District, Malang Regency. The program addresses limited community knowledge of sustainable cultivation practices, particularly fertilization, and weak market access for small-scale farmers. Activities were implemented through counseling, hands-on training, and mentoring using a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach. Technical assistance covered planting media preparation, balanced fertilization using organic and inorganic inputs, crop maintenance, and post-harvest handling. Islamic economic principles such as fairness, transparency, and collective decision-making were introduced in the marketing process. The results show improved community knowledge and skills in cultivation practices, better crop quality and yield, and increased farmer participation. Field documentation confirms effective knowledge transfer and active community involvement. In conclusion, integrating participatory methods, agricultural technical assistance, and Islamic economic principles effectively enhances community capacity and supports sustainable rural economic empowerment.
