The methods used included demonstration-based training and hands-on practice, complemented by interactive discussions on local resource management. The results showed that participants were able to understand and effectively apply seedling techniques, with egg cartons proving to accelerate early growth and minimize water usage. In addition to improving individual skills, this activity fostered awareness of the importance of local innovation and waste utilization for family economic development.
