Abstract

The young generation is an important part of becoming the nation’s successor. The interest of the younger generation to the farming profession is still very minimal because the farming profession is considered less promising. This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of the student development strategy of the Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Science, University of Muhammadiyah Malang on the future of the farmer profession in Indonesia. In this study, the authors used sampling with Slovin’s formula, namely a sample of 105 respondents. Respondents in this study were active students of the 2019 FPP UMM class. The analytical tool used is multiple linear regression analysis with quantitative descriptive analysis approach and using SPSS Software Version 26. The results of this study can be concluded that X1, X2, X4 partially have no effect on the farmer profession, while for X3 it shows that it partially has an effect significant to the farming profession. The coefficient of determination of 0.469 means that the farmer profession variable can be explained by the student development strategy variable of 46.9 % while the remaining 53.1 % is explained by other independent variables not examined in this study.
