- Abstract
The training was implemented to equip farmers with knowledge and innovation targeted to chili and vegetable farming. Using survey data from East Java Province, this paper evaluates the impact of training implementation on the production of chili and tomato, knowledge of integrated crop management (ICM), and practices related to chili and tomato cultivations. This study utilizes a regression analysis to track the main factors affecting the impacts on the behavior and production, and average paired comparison of net income before and after FFS implementation. Results show robust indications across the two approaches. After participating in the program, this study finds that farmers have significantly more knowledge about ICM practices than before. This paper also finds suggestive evidence that improved knowledge about ICM practices can significantly improve tomato and chili productions. Eventually, this paper concludes that FFS can improve farming performance, and thus it is recommended that the approach can be applied to other crops across regions of Indonesia.
