ABSTRACT

The current phenomenon is the need for farmer regeneration involving the younger generation due to a decrease in human resources in the agricultural sector. The current younger generation is not interested in agricultural activities because of the unfavorable perception of the world of agriculture. In line with these problems, this study aims to: (1) describe the level of interest of students in agriculture, (2) analyze the factors that influence students' interest in agriculture, and (3) formulate strategies to increase students' interest in agriculture as an effort to regenerate farmer. This quantitative descriptive research was carried out from March to June 2022 in Tarogong Kidul District, involving 80 students as the sample from a population of 335 people. The Slovin formula with a 10 percent gallate is used to determine the sample. Data collection uses a questionnaire containing closed questions according to the parameters of the research variables and indicators. Before being used as a data collection tool, the questionnaire was tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out in two ways, namely descriptive statistical analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that most of the students (76.25%) considered that they were not fully interested in agriculture. Factors that influence students' interest (α 0.01) are the role of parents, while knowledge of agriculture, motivation, and the role of friends have a significant effect on α 0.05. The strategy to increase students' interest in agriculture is to involve parents and friends to guide and encourage students in agricultural activities so that they have knowledge and are motivated in agriculture.
