This community service initiative was grounded by the urgent need to address irrigation water scarcity and limited access to fertilizers within the Harapan Sejahtera Farmers Group (KTHS). The assistance was carried out through the construction of a Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) system equipped with filtration, along with training on producing Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) derived from vegetable and fruit waste. The methods encompassed needs assessment, technical training, field-based practice, and intensive mentoring. The results indicated that the RWH installation fulfilled up to 80% of irrigation water demand, enhanced water-use efficiency, and reduced operational costs from 1.5–2.5 million to 0.5–1.5 million rupiah per month. The implementation of LOF increased farmers’ understanding by 85% and expanded the treated land area from 500–1,000 m² to 800–1,500 m². Overall, the program strengthened farmers’ autonomy, operational efficiency, and agricultural productivity at KTHS.
