The agricultural sector contributes almost half of the Indonesian economy. Based on data from BPS in 2019-2020, this sector provides food for more than 270 million people and dominates the source of income in Indonesia by 33.4 million (27.33%). Unfortunately, the high opportunity and prospects are accompanied by a lack of enthusiasm among the younger generation to pursue agricultural careers, resulting in a decline in regeneration. Some influential factors included: (1) the perception that the agricultural sector is less promising in the future, (2) the lack of prestige of relatively low salaries, and (3) the existence and influence of social strata in the community. The current study aimed to investigate students' perceptions and interests, particularly those of agricultural students, concerning their career choices and corroborate the phenomena of the young generation's falling interest in agricultural careers. The participants were 100 agriculture students from the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Brawijaya (FP UB). The study implemented a quantitative approach with a survey method. The data were analyzed using Tableau. The results showed that there were two dominant factors, external and internal, that influenced the career choices of agriculture students. Additionally, the responses from the students based on gender (male and female) were also different. The findings of this study provide a broader view on how to improve students' interest in agricultural careers through external and internal assistance, namely motivation and practical experiences during the academic year.
The rapid development of time has reduced the land used by farmers for farming due to development. For that, design a hydroponic system to minimize the land. Chili hydroponic plants are a type of vegetable that has many benefits and is liked by many people. So that hydroponic chili cultivators can produce optimal harvests, a tool is designed using automatic smart control technology using UV lamps. The findings in the field are that there are several steps that must be taken so that hydroponic plants can be more optimal in the results of chili cultivation. The first step is to design a smart plant control automatic tool, then use several sensors including EC sensors, ph sensors, RTC sensors, and ultraviolet lamps. An initial study of the potential benefits to be gained by partners or chili farmers based on the results of field testing is that this technology can maximize harvest time efficiency from manual hydroponic cultivation, which was originally 90 days to 70-80 days. Therefore, the automatic smart plant control system using UV lamps has a harvest speed of 70-80 days, while the manual method can reach 90 days. Thus, it is hoped that the economy of chili cultivators will increase if the smart plant control automatic system is used.

Abstrac The agricultural sector is a sector that contributes almost half of the Indonesian economy. Based on data from BPS for 2019-2020, the agricultural sector provides food for more than 270 million people and dominates as a source of income in Indonesia by 33.4 million (27.33%). The high opportunity and prospect of working in agriculture, unfortunately, is followed by the phenomenon of the interest of the younger generation to work in this sector, resulting in a decline in the regeneration of future young farmers. In addition, it also has an impact on reducing the demand for learning of the younger generation in the field of agricultural science. The low interest of the younger generation to work in agriculture is caused by several factors, including the perception that the agricultural sector is less promising in the future, the lack of prestige of relatively low salaries, the existence and influence of social strata in the community. This research was conducted using a structured quantitative survey method to produce descriptive data and conclusive findings that are descriptive. The research was conducted on students of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Brawijaya majoring in Agroecotechnology and Agribusiness. The number of participants consisted of 100 people with diverse family backgrounds to find out the different perceptions of working in the agricultural sector. ABSTRAK Bidang pertanian merupakan sektor yang memberikan sumbangsih hampir setengah perekonomian Indonesia. Berdasarkan data dari BPS tahun 2019-2020, sektor pertanian menyediakan makanan lebi dari 270 juta masyarakat dan mendominasi sebagai mata pencahaian di Indonesia sebesar 33, 4 juta (27,33%). Tingginya peluang dan prospek bekerja di bidang pertanian, sayangnya diikuti oleh fenomena minat generasi muda untuk bekerja di sektor ini sehingga mengakibatkan regenerasi petani muda masa depan menjadi menurun. Selain itu, juga berdampak pada penurunan minta belajar generasi muda terhadap bidang ilmu pertanian. Rendahnya ketertarikan generasi muda bekerja di bidang pertanian disebabkan oleh beberap faktor antara lain persepsi bidang pertanian kurang menjanjikan di masa depan, kurang bergengsim gaji yang realtif rendah, eksistensi dan pengaruh strata sosial di lingkungan masyarakat. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode survey kuantitatif tersturktur guna menghasilkan data deskriptif dan temuan konklusif yang bersifat deskriptif. Penelitian dilakukan kepada mahasiswa Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Brawijaya jurusan Agroekoteknologi dan Agribisnis. Jumlah partisipan terdiri dari 100 orang dengan latar belakang keluarga yang beragam guna mengetahui perbedaan persepsi bekerja di bidang pertanian.
