Faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap niat petani diidentifikasi melalui pemahaman mengenai pengaruh sikap, norma subjektif, dan kontrol perilaku. Pengujian model penelitian dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan Partial Least Square (PLS) dengan data sampel diperoleh dengan melakukan wawancara terhadap 81 petani organik di Kabupaten Tasikmalaya.
