Most of villagers in Indonesia live in farming sector. Most of them know and able to work as a farmer from their parents who gave field to them. This job Has been done for many years, it is more than a hundreds years. The old farmers work in traditional way, that is why they need long time to harvest their field. But today most of them work in modern way as they know there are some modern tool that can be used to make their working can be do effectively and efficiently.

But it create a question why their live never change, never get better economy even they become poorer and poorer. Even there are many farmers who move to city to get better live. They leave their job as a farmer and move to other job which they thought it will give the benefit meanwhile they don’t have any skill except work as a farmer.

From this fact it need a solution to decrease the number of farmer who move to other region. We can take an example from One village in Bandung, it os Cibodas village where almost people work as a farmer. There are 16 groups of farmers which train people to be better farmer, better in science and also in their live.

Farmers are trained, thought how to work as solid farmer then after they able to be solid farmer they will make their own group to train the other farmers. By this way, there will be many farmers which skill as a farmers. Because less of knowledge that owned by farmers also become factor why they get failure to be farmer. This is also need support from many party, such government. We hope from this method there will not more farmers who leave their village to city which need high skill.
