ABSTRACT
Organic farming is an important solution in facing various environmental and health challenges faced by modern society. The Kalibening Women Farmers Group (KWT) has great potential to adopt organic farming as part of their daily lives. This article aims to analyze the factors that influence awareness of organic farming among KWT Kalibening members, strategies for increasing this awareness, and the challenges faced. The method used is quantitative descriptive research with data collection techniques through interviews, surveys and focus group discussions (FGD). The research results showed that there was a significant increase in awareness after intervention in the form of training and counseling. The main factors influencing this increase in awareness include education, community support, and access to information and technology. It is hoped that this research can provide guidance for governments and NGOs in designing programs to increase awareness of organic farming in rural communities.
