Abstract

This study highlights the pivotal role of social trust in enhancing farmers’ quality of life (QoL) in Karangpatihan Village, Indonesia. Utilizing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the research examines the influence of social trust on various QoL dimensions, finding significant impacts across all aspects, with the strongest effect on health and safety. The results emphasize the importance of fostering social trust to bolster adaptive strategies, such as adopting innovative farming techniques, optimizing resource use, and encouraging collaboration among farmers. Strengthening social capital in rural agricultural communities is vital for ensuring food security and long-term economic resilience. This research contributes to the existing body of literature on social capital by identifying trust as a crucial determinant of QoL in rural settings. The findings carry substantial policy implications, indicating that initiatives aimed at building trust are essential for enhancing farmers’ well-being.
