ABSTRACT As with previous qualitative studies using a descriptive approach, qualitative research using a descriptive approach functions to describe the main topics used in this study including traditional agriculture, resilience, challenges, and opportunities for traditional agriculture. The data used in this study are secondary data that researchers obtain from credible websites, scientific articles, books, and various other sources used in each study. Challenges and Opportunities for traditional agriculture are analyzed using the SWOT analysis tool with more comprehensive results below.
