<![CDATA[The implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in organic rice farming is an important effort to improve productivity, product quality, and agricultural sustainability. The success of GAP implementation largely depends on farmers' participation in farming activities. This study aimed to analyze the participation level of organic rice farmers in implementing GAP and the factors influencing it in Dlingo District, Boyolali Regency. The study employed a quantitative survey approach involving 30 members of the Pangudi Bogo Farmer Group selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results showed that farmers’ participation in GAP implementation was categorized as high, with an average score of 4.13. Farmers were generally 58 years old, had elementary school education backgrounds, and mainly cultivated organic red rice. Motivation, farming experience, education level, land size, and age contributed to farmers' participation in GAP implementation. Strengthening farmers’ capacity through extension services and technical assistance is essential to support sustainable organic farming development.
