Analysis of Organic Farming Implementation, Farmer Training, and Market Access on Vegetable Farming Sustainability in West Java Case Study of Environmentally Friendly Agribusiness
Keywords:
Organic farming, Farmer training, Market access, Sustainability, Vegetable farmingAbstract
This study investigates the impact of organic farming implementation, farmer training, and market access on the sustainability of vegetable farming in West Java, focusing on eco-agribusiness practices. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 110 vegetable farmers through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 26. The findings reveal a high level of organic farming adoption, with composting and crop rotation being the most prevalent practices. Farmer training significantly enhanced knowledge and skills, contributing to improved sustainability outcomes. Additionally, while market access was found to be moderate, it positively influenced farmers' incomes and sustainability. Correlation and regression analyses indicated strong positive relationships between organic farming, training, and market access with sustainability. The results highlight the importance of integrating these factors to promote sustainable agricultural practices in West Java, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to enhance the sustainability of the agricultural sector.
