STRATEGY OF INCREASING THE SELF RELIANCE OF BESUKI NA-OOGST TOBACCO FARMERS IN ADAPTING TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE

Abstract

This study aims to determine 1) Self reliance of Besuki Na-Oogst tobacco farmers in adapting to climate change. 2) Strategy to increase the self reliance of Na-oogst tobacco farmers in adapting to climate change. The research area determination is conducted purposely in Tanjungrejo, Wuluhan, Jember on the basis of consideration. The research method is using descriptive and analytical. The sampling technique used is Purposive Sampling. The samples is obtained by calculating (20%) of each population of farmers applying Good Tobbaco Practice (GTP) of 80 people and who do not apply GTP of 110 people. Based on the calculation results, it is obtained a sample of 18 people applying GTP and 22 people who do not apply GTP. The method of data analysis used is descriptive analysis. Formulation of self reliance improvement strategy is using SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat).
