Abstract
This research aims to analyze the development of urban-farming in peri-urban communities by utilizing yards and other available lands to sustainable development farming. The research method used qualitative research through participatory action research with a cybernetics approach. The study take place in a peri-urban community in Majalengka Regency, West Java, considering the rapid conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural. The study employs the concepts and theories of organic farming, urban-farming, and sustainable development in community empowerment. The results show that organic farming in the development of urban-farming in yard is adaptive to the dynamics of the need to prevent the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. The peri-urban community empowerment approach combined with organic farming has the potential to lead to the achievement of the SDGs. This effectiveness is conditioned by a participatory empowerment approach and increased farmer interdependence. Increasing human capital is a critical factor of managing community capital through strengthening social capital.
