A qualitative research methodology investigated the role of social capital in the empowerment of urban agriculture within the Srikandi Women’s Farmers Group (KWT) in Mrican, Sleman, Indonesia. The study revealed that the effective utilization of social capital significantly contributes to the success of empowerment initiatives within KWT Srikandi. Social networks are robustly established both internally among KWT Mrican members and externally through collaborations with academic institutions, government entities, and the private sector, though challenges persist, including limited expansion of partnership outreach and the necessity for improvements in facilities and infrastructure.
