Summary
Smallholder farmers in Indonesia as subsistence farmers are not categorized as an empowered group, so they need much support from stakeholders to support their business scale. Smallholders in Indonesia generally have the following characteristics: 1) poor farmers who have difficulty meeting their needs are marginalized, 2) their farming businesses are traditionally inherited and subsistence, 3) lack of insight because of the level of education low, so it is difficult to adopt innovations, 4) lack of courage to take farming risks because they are not familiar with new things and are at risk to their financial condition (Kay, 2004) Local goat is a livestock commodity that has great potential to be developed in several areas that support cultivation, such as Tumpang sub-district, Malang regency. Goat meat can contribute significantly to the fulfilment of Indonesian people's nutrition because it has high protein. For people who are running a fat diet, goat meat is better than beef
