ENTREPREUNERSHIP AND SOCIAL ENTREPREUNERSHIP IN FARMING

Enterpreunership has an important role in economy, because it can produce products and also absorb labors.The agriculture sector is the main livelihood and potentially elevated by enterpreunership programs.There are, however,obstacles to do so; such as: limitted capitals, lands, and low level of farmer education and of the social quality.Farmers in the agropolitan area of Tulungagung Region also have the same problems, there are even many more external obstacles especially climate factors that are unpredictable. This even worsens economic conditions of farmers.These obstacles have made programs for increasing economic conditions of farmers become more dificult to develop. A concept that might hopefully cope these problems is the social enterpreunership mainly based on farmer cooperation.The cooperation is functioned as a cornerstone of rural society economy by expanding businesses.It is also as a core of activities in planning and also in executing by involving farmers as active participants.Business fields of village cooperation have also to be expanded and elevated because the cooperation role is now becoming complex from upstream to downstream.
