This training activity is a first-time HRD program. Amin Sarko as the HRD & General Manager said “By holding this hydroponics plant training, employees who are about to retire and have undergone CSR can fill their free time, think positively, creatively, and this training can be applied at home, and the result of these hydroponics plants can be consumed personally or even used for business”.
Other than receiving theoretical knowledge, they also practiced the hydroponics planting method guided by Musyafak from *MM Hydro Fam*. The training material on the first day held in PT KPBN Multipurpose Room covered the topic of hydroponics introduction, history of hydroponics, the essential elements in hydroponics, hydroponics planting medium, providing nutrients in hydroponics, controlling pests and diseases in hydroponics, the steps for planting in hydroponics, and practices in planting hydroponics vegetables.
In this training, a hydroponics starter kit will be provided for each participant so that after the training, they can directly practice what they have learned at home or at their offices respectively.
On the second day, the hydroponics plant training was held at Jl. Haji Bona, Limo, Depok. This time, the training was presented by Citra as the second speaker about hydroponics plants by using her home yard as the workshop venue. She said: “hydroponics emerged as an alternative for agriculture on limited land, where hydroponics can be developed in houses with narrow or large yards. Especially because the materials used are used/leftover items and plastic waste that actually help in preserving the environment”
The result of the hydroponics plant training is expected to add insight and some can be consumed for daily use. Other than that, the training held had several advantages, such as the efficiency of land, greening the environment, energy-saving, cost-saving, and time-saving. [LA]
