This study aims to determine the role of the yard utilization program in enhancing the human resource (HR) capacity of members of the Teratai Mekar Women Farmers Group (KWT) and to identify the factors influencing its success. The program, initiated by the Sleman District Agriculture Office, was implemented through counseling, training, demonstration plots, and the provision of agricultural facilities. KWT Teratai Mekar, located in Dabag Hamlet, Condongcatur Village, Depok Subdistrict, Sleman Regency, was selected for its success in sustaining yard utilization activities. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, using observation, in-depth interviews, literature review, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings show that the yard utilization program significantly improved members’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward environmentally friendly cultivation practices. Counseling and training enhanced technical and practical abilities, while facility support and field instructor assistance motivated members to apply sustainable agriculture at home. Supporting factors included the leadership of the group’s head, the contribution of agricultural extension workers (PPL), members’ learning motivation, and government support. Meanwhile, constraints consisted of limited time, varying education levels, and technical difficulties in plant maintenance. Overall, the yard utilization program effectively strengthened the HR capacity of KWT Teratai Mekar members and contributed to sustainable household food security.
