Abstract
This study examines the role of Women Farmers Groups (KWT) in Mlati District, Yogyakarta, in supporting local food security. Although agriculture in Yogyakarta is not as large as in other agricultural areas, agricultural activities remain important to meet the food needs of the community. KWT emerged as a community that actively manages yard land, grows vegetables, raises catfish and laying hens, and processes crops into food products such as chili sauce, chips, shredded meat, and salted eggs that meet Home Industry Food (PIRT) standards. The research method used a mixed approach involving KWT members to understand their practices, programs, and challenges, namely literature marketing and limited knowledge of digital marketing. Nevertheless, KWT continues to contribute to food security and community economic independence through the processing of crops and the use of waste as organic fertilizer.
