| dc.description.abstract | The farmers' group is a crucial point in implementing and translating the concept
of farmers' rights into policies, strategies, and viable programs as a cohesive unit
and as a platform for the transformation and development of the agricultural
sector. A farmers' group is always formed with the aim of meeting various
farmers' needs and serving as a means to address farmers' issues. The agricultural
sector remains the primary source of income for the majority of the farming
community, so agricultural development through farmers' groups continues to be
carried out to achieve the welfare of farmers. The purpose of this research is to
examine the impact of the formation of the youth farmers' group on the welfare of
its members in the village of Pohan Julu, Siborongborong sub-district, North
Tapanuli district. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. Data collection
was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results
of this research indicate that the formation of the youth farmers' group has had an
impact on the improvement of the welfare of its members. This is based on eight
welfare indicators issued by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), namely
education, housing, income, consumption and social patterns, which have seen
improvements, but the health and employment status of group members have not
changed. | en_US |
