This research is a type of qualitative research with basic research and data and information analysis using scientific review. In the agricultural sector we are currently facing, one of which is the workforce in the agricultural sector which is dominated by workers who are no longer productive. Village development and economy will depend heavily on productive workers, so that when there is no more young generation, agricultural needs will definitely be supplied from outside. With technology and information, people can easily find and manage an activity not in agriculture. In agriculture, technology can be applied as a means or trick to improve farming.
