Abstract

Women play a strategic role in the agricultural sector and family food security, yet they still face limited access to agricultural education, technology, and decision-making. This situation contributes to low levels of empowerment of female farmers, particularly in rural areas. This study aims to analyze women's empowerment through sustainable agricultural education, using a case study in Karangcangkring Village, Gresik Regency, Indonesia. The study employed a case study approach with descriptive qualitative methods supported by simple quantitative data. Data collection was conducted through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, pre- and post-activity questionnaires, and focus group discussions. The analysis of women's empowerment was conducted with reference to the cognitive, economic, social, and institutional dimensions. The results indicate that sustainable agricultural education has a positive impact on increasing the empowerment of female farmers. The most significant improvements occurred in the cognitive and social dimensions, demonstrated by increased agricultural technical knowledge, self-confidence, and women's active participation in group activities and decision-making. The economic and institutional dimensions also showed positive, albeit gradual, developments, particularly in production management, post-harvest management, and women's involvement in agricultural group structures. Overall, sustainable agricultural education not only improves the technical capacity of women farmers but also strengthens their agency, social participation, and position within rural agricultural livelihood systems. This research confirms that the integration of gender-sensitive agricultural education is a crucial strategy for empowering women farmers and promoting inclusive and sustainable agricultural development at the village level.

Abstract

The 5th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) focuses on gender issues, including women's roles in politics and the economy. In the financial sector, women contribute to agriculture, but gender inequalities persist, requiring gender-oriented empowerment programs to address disparities in the potato sub-sector. This research analyzes the role of Tengger Tribe women farmers using Gender Framework Analysis (GFA) and formulates strategies for their empowerment. The study was conducted in the Tengger Tribe community, Sukapura Village, Probolinggo Regency, using a census method with 78 women rice farmers as respondents. Data collection involved observation, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires. The first objective was analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods, the second through gender analysis to assess workloads in potato production, followed by social capital analysis and SWOT analysis. The strategy results include (1) establishing a women farmers' group in Sukapura Village with stakeholder facilitation, (2) training and assistance in food crop cultivation suited to local conditions, and (3) organizing a women's farming school to enhance farmers' knowledge. Policy implications for this empowerment strategy should consider various aspects, including beneficial innovations for women farmers in Sukapura Village and mechanisms for implementing and financing empowerment initiatives.
