Environmental health knowledge factors have no effect on the formation of environmental vegetable farmers’ behavior in Padang city

Abstract

The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency of the BPOM Republic of Indonesia reports that cases of extraordinary events (KLB) of food poisoning have caused the deaths of 2500 people and as many as 411,500 sick people annually. Responsibility and awareness of producers and distributors on food security is not adequate. The results of testing vegetables and fruit samples in 2017 found 17.56% containing pesticide residues. The lack of consumer concern about food security is reflected in the small number of consumers who demand producers to produce safe and quality food products. A model is needed in the formation of community behavior, especially farmers who produce vegetables in West Sumatra because they are far from being environmentally sound. The study of the formation of farmers’ behavior in producing safe and quality vegetables needs attention. In this article, more emphasis is placed on analyzing the influence of environmental health knowledge on the formation of environmentally sound behaviors of vegetable farmers in the city of Padang. The model used is a model of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation (ADDIE) conducted in Kuranji, Koto Tangah and Nanggalo Padang sub-districts. Based on the needs, it is done with a module, the video contains an explanation of the behavior of farmers, environmental behavior by farmers, technically, the benefits of environmentally friendly behavior by farmers. The results of the study concluded that there was no influence on the behavior formation model of environmentally sound vegetable farmers on increasing environmental health knowledge.
