A total of 30 participants, who were members of the local Karang Taruna, were equipped with skills in leafy vegetable and maize cultivation, farm business management, financial record-keeping, branding and marketing strategies, as well as an understanding of product legal certification, through a series of community engagement activities conducted in Cinangka Subdistrict, Sawangan District, Depok City, during the period of July–December 2025. Evaluation using pre-test and post-test instruments demonstrated a significant improvement, with the average score increasing from 47.11 to 77.78, equivalent to a 65.1% increase.
