This community service activity aims to enhance the human resource (HR) capacity of farmers through plant breeding training as a strategy for strengthening sustainable agribusiness in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province. The low level of farmers' knowledge and skills in plant breeding techniques is a major obstacle to improving the productivity and competitiveness of local agricultural commodities. The methods used in this activity include theoretical counseling, field demonstrations, hands-on practical training, and post-training mentoring for 40 participating farmers. The training materials covered superior variety selection techniques, plant hybridization, seed propagation, and technology-based agribusiness management. The results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge by 72.5% based on pre-test and post-test results, an increase in technical skills of 68.3%, and the formation of an innovative farmer group that actively applies plant breeding techniques on their farm land. This program makes a real contribution to strengthening the capacity of local agricultural human resources and supporting sustainable agribusiness development at the rural level.
