Abstract
The penetration of the free market in Indonesian agriculture has caused complex problems for agricultural actors, i. e. social, economic and cultural disorganization, which has led to Indonesian farmers' marginalization. This paper is an ethnographic study on the collaborative practice that was carried out jointly by a group of villagers and the author for the two years from 2008 to 2010, to initiate revitalizing an agricultural community in Daleman, Java, Indonesia. This study started at the time when the author met with a group of farmers in Daleman in 2008, and continued as he became deeply involved in their community. During the two years, they developed a vision of organic farming as a major pillar of their activities by his leadership. An Indonesian language version of this ethnography will be provided to them as basic material by which they can reflect their activities in the past and elaborate a plan for the future.
