Abstract:

Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, is one of the regencies targeted by the P4 program. The P4 program itself began in 2021 and has been running for three years until 2023. Finding out how social capital affects the P4 program in Central Lombok Regency is the first goal of this study. The second goal is to find a model for how to implement the P4 program at the farmer level using social capital. This study uses a descriptive method with a quantitative research type; the study chosen is a comparative study based on a questionnaire and submitted to respondents in order to obtain data. Data analysis uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique, while the Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis is assisted by SmartPLS 4 software. The research location was conducted in Central Lombok Regency with five villages according to the location of the P4 program. The study utilized a sample size of 80 respondents. In this study, there are several variables: the dependent variable, namely the implementation of the P4 program and the achievement of sustainable agriculture, and the independent variable, namely social capital, consisting of networks, norms, and trust. Research Results its First The influence of social capital on the implementation of the P4 program consists of two dimensions, namely networks and trust. The implementation of the P4 program in Central Lombok Regency remains unaffected by the norm dimension. And seconds One possible model is that putting the P4 program into action can change efforts to make agriculture more sustainable by giving farmer groups more power to make the P4 program and similar programs work better.
