Organic farming is a natural cultivation system without using chemicals. These organic vegetables and ornamental fl owers are cultivated naturally by compost and using organic pesticides. The fertilizer used in this educational process is compost fermented with Local Micro Organisms or MOL, at the location of the Cahaya Alam Foundation which is located in Kucur Village, Dau District, Malang Regency. The method used is to educate about growing organic vegetables and ornamental fl owers properly, with limited land conditions. The solution given was to create an eff ective planting medium for cultivating organic vegetables and ornamental fl owers in accordance with the limited land available at the Cahaya Alam Foundation. The planting medium uses polybags, and a simple screen house for organic vegetable nurseries. The output obtained from organic farming education is to provide assistance in the cultivation of organic vegetables at the demonstration plot, construction of screen houses and simple polybags, providing counseling, mentoring and learning to solve problems in cultivating organic vegetables and ornamental fl owers at the Cahaya Alam Foundation.
The upper part of the Jabung sub-district has a rough morphology due to agricultural land use. Rough morphological conditions can lead to landslides, especially in the Taji Village area.

This research was conducted on the western flank of Mount Bromo, precisely on the upper slopes of Taji Village with a population of 1,286. Communities have intensively exploited land resources to meet their daily needs. Based on the physical condition, this area is rather not appropriate for living. In the other hand, the community had been survived to live in harmony with high potential erosion prone area. The purpose of this study is to elaborate disaster risk reduction strategies in the northwest part of Bromo Volcano Flank.
