The method of determining the sample of farmers using stratified random sampling and obtained 125 respondents. Data analysis used path analysis with AMOS 24.0 software. The results of the path analysis show that environmental factors have a direct effect on sustainability with a standardized regression coefficient of 0.290. The forming of environmental factor variables consists of five indicators, including weeding and cleaning garbage, pruning branches, applying insecticides, applying fertilizers, and harvesting. The coefficient value is obtained from the fertilizer application indicator (x11 = 0.990); giving insecticides (x12 = 1.050); pruning branches (x13 = 1.080); weeding and clearing garbage (x14 = 1.050;, and harvesting (x15 = 1.000).
