Keywords:
Education, modern agriculture, marketingAbstract
Tambelang Krucil Probolinggo is an area rich in agricultural commodities such as vegetables, coffee, and other crops. However, the livestock sector is the main source of income for the local community, so the development of the agricultural sector is still not optimal. Seeing this condition, students play a role in providing education to farmers to encourage diversification and increase agricultural products. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method to analyze the role of students in agricultural education in Tambelang Krucil village, Probolinggo. The results of the study show that the education provided by students to farmers includes understanding the basic concepts of modern agriculture, technical assistance in the application of agricultural methods and more efficient marketing of crops, as well as assistance in analyzing agricultural data to increase farmers' work productivity. With this assistance, it is hoped that farmers can be more open to innovation and be able to develop the agricultural sector in a sustainable manner.
