Strategy To Improve Young Generation Involvement In The Agricultural Sector In Kaligerman Village, Karanggeneng District, Kabung Regency Lamongan

Abstrak

This comprehensive study was designed to explore in depth and critically analyze the fundamental significance of the strategic role of the younger generation in ensuring the sustainability and modernization of the agricultural sector in Kaligerman Village. This study specifically aims to identify and evaluate innovative interventions carried out by young people, not only in the aspect of maintaining local food security, but also in the diversification of the rural economy, the adoption of precision agricultural technology, and farmer regeneration, which are crucial for the future of village agriculture. This study uses a descriptive qualitative analysis method. Data are predominantly obtained from primary data. Most of them come from local residents aged 16-30 years and work as farmers and non-farmers as well as village government officials. The results of this study indicate that the agricultural development of Kaligerman Village cannot be said to be fully successful, despite the existence of many advanced technologies for managing rice fields. As a result, farmers' welfare is still not felt by Kaligerman Village farmers. The role played by the younger generation in Kaligerman Village agriculture is not optimal due to the lack of awareness and literacy of the younger generation regarding the importance of loving domestic products.
