Plant waste in the form of straw is used as green and processed animal feed; 2. Resources (R) managed in the form of human resources as many as 25 people, a land area of 13.5 hectares, a total of 55 cattle, a biogas reactor with a capacity of 6 tons, agricultural machinery, namely planting tools, tractors, harvesting machines. There is an organizational structure and there is a division of tasks between individuals working, the norms applied are unwritten rules because there are no written rules. The division of tasks is based on beliefs and customs, no written sanctions are given if there are violations in the group; and 3. The sustainability framework of the Terang-terang Farmer Group is based on reflective strategies and can still be developed with interactive strategies.
