Abstract

This study investigates the effects of integrated farming methods and farmer training on farmer welfare and agricultural sustainability in Central Java. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data was collected from 75 farmers through a structured questionnaire with a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. The analysis, conducted using SPSS version 26, revealed that a significant majority of farmers adopted integrated farming practices, which positively correlated with increased income and improved access to resources. Additionally, farmer training significantly enhanced knowledge and skills, leading to better perceptions of agricultural sustainability. The findings underscore the importance of integrated farming systems and effective training programs in promoting farmer welfare and ensuring long-term sustainability in agriculture.
