Abstract

The income of farmers in Indonesia is still relatively low even to support their families. In the current economic conditions, farmers play a role as parents who must meet the needs of the family and form a national character in their children. This study aims to identify the strategies used by farmers to maintain survival and the formation of national character in children. This study uses a qualitative method. Informants in this study are farmers who cultivate limited land. Informants were selected based on purposive sampling method. This research was conducted in Rejosari, Karangawen, Demak. The results showed that the survival strategy of farmers in meeting family needs was divided into two, the first was farmers who carried out agricultural activities, while the second activity was carried out in agriculture. Farmers' strategies in shaping the values of the nation's character to children are carried out by instilling religious, responsible, creative and disciplined characters. This research is useful for the Government, especially the Ministry of Agriculture to make policies in the form of capital assistance, seeds, fertilizers and medicines to farmers so that farmers can increase their income and can shape the character of the nation.
