Abstract

Different from the systems that have been applied in developed countries, the organic farming in developing countries such as Indonesia demand more self-determination for the farmers as a consequence of the limitations of Government’s ability to subsidize the program development. One effort to increase the independence of farmers in running the program is to develop motivation that can encourage the independence of farmers in the development of organic farming.The “warm-glow” of Andreoni as spiritual motivation is very suitable to be developed among organic farmers since it is in line with the principles of organic farming. In this paper will be discussed: (1) What motivation encourages the development of organic agriculture in Indonesia (2) The existence of the motivation of “warm-glow” in Indonesian organic farming (3) The role of “warm-glow” in encouraging the development of organic farming in Indonesia.
