From the description, waqf is capable of assisting farmers in production activities through a productive project program.

Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the priority strategies implemented to optimize waqf for financing farmers in Lamongan. A mixed qualitative and quantitative approach was implemented through the Analytic Network Process (ANP), as data were obtained from interviews with seven waqf and agriculture experts. The results showed that the primary strategy focused on the establishment of synergies between the government and the community, increased literacy regarding the urgency of waqf to the public, and improved farmer businesses through coaching and mentoring. This analysis was used as a reference in establishing policies for the Indonesian Waqf Board, the Department of Food Security and Agriculture, and the local government, specifically in Lamongan.]]>
