Abstract

Tubers are an agricultural commodity that significantly contributes to food diversity and community nutritional adequacy, and play a crucial role in food security. The study aimed to identify tuber crops found in the study village, enabling their development as staple foods in addition to rice and corn, without reducing community food needs, and as industrial raw materials for their processing. The study was conducted in April 2026 in Pare Kranggan Village, Temanggung. The study employed a descriptive method, identifying several tuber crops. Observations were conducted on 30 farmers across three hamlets. The results showed that the majority of farmers were familiar with tuber crops and had tuber crops on their land. However, they had not yet cultivated the plants and allowed them to grow wild in the fields. Therefore, training in proper cultivation methods is necessary to optimize harvest yields
