Population growth and land conversion in urban areas reduce people's access to productive green spaces. Hydroponic farming is an alternative form of agriculture in limited spaces, as well as a means of community empowerment. This study aims to analyze the process of community empowerment in hydroponic farming activities carried out through the support of the Probebaya program in RT 02, Gunung Lingai Village, Samarinda City. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. The results indicate that the community empowerment process occurs in three stages. The awareness-raising stage is conducted through socialization and motivation, successfully fostering initial community participation. The capacity-building stage is implemented through practice-based training and active mentoring, enhancing technical skills. The empowerment stage is marked by residents' independence in managing the hydroponic system, resolving technical issues, and conducting evaluations through participatory group collaboration. This entire process reflects an increase in residents' capacity, initiative, and responsibility in carrying out activities independently and sustainably.
