- Abstract
Natural resource management sustains to this day is agriculture. It remains the main source of making a living in rural communities despite its decreasing activity. According to the results of the 2018 Inter-Census Agricultural Survey (SUTAS), the number of farmers in Indonesia was 33 487 806. Categorized by gender, there were 25.436.478 male farmers and 8.051.328 female farmers. Within the Central Java region, there were 5.264.264 farmers in which 4.013.514 were male and 1.250.750 were female. The difference between the number of male and female farmers is quite significant. This indicates that women seem to have small involvement in the agricultural business which is a vital source supporting the household. Whereas, in reality, women have significant roles in farm families. Therefore, this study aims to determine the extent of the role of women in agriculture as a source of sustaining the household economy. The research was conducted on the people of Medono Village, Boja Sub-district, Kendal District, with a qualitative research method. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation.
