The method in this study was conducted with a survey in the form of distributing questionnaires and research questionnaires to all organic farmers in West Sumatra. The sample in the study was taken based on the sample area (Purposive Area Sampling). The data analysis technique in this study is descriptive analysis. The results show that most farmers agree that organic farming can improve land fertility, easy to practice, and they will continue to pursue organic farming. While in terms of risk, farmers revealed that organic farming is difficult to market. However, when we look at the factors that motivate farmers in seeking organic farming are the concern for health, concern for the environment and government support. And the last is about barriers to cultivating organic farming are largely due to climate change.
