Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conserve sustainability in organic rice agroecology to preserve the environment from pollutants. Organic farming is a cultivation system that focuses on environmental indicators and sustainability. This research was conducted at the organic rice centre in Penanggal Village, Lumajang District, East Java, Indonesia. The research stages comprised a community typology assessment of organic farming systems referring to SNI 6729:2016. Evaluation and monitoring of environmental quality such as water quality, environmental biological indicators, and agroecology components in agricultural areas. Water quality monitoring results in the upstream and midstream regions are well monitored. Water quality monitoring is inequality standard class III with the designation of irrigation and agricultural cultivation, the results that do not comply with the standard are located in the DO parameter 1.5 mg/L (upstream) and an average of 0.6 mg/L (middle). Indicators do not meet the standards in the BOD parameter (middle), namely 6.40 mg/L and 6.53 mg/L. The biological component in organic system waters has a high diversity index value of 2.007 (upstream) and 1.842 (middle). The indicator is characterized by the number of plankton and benthic species found in the flow of water sources.
