Abstract: This study investigates the challenges faced by farmers in meeting their family's needs as the cost of living increases. Women are playing an active role in improving their family's economic situation due to the income-need imbalance. The research aims to determine the contribution of housewives to family income and the level of welfare of farmer households in the Jonggat District, Central Lombok Regency. Thirty farmers were interviewed using a descriptive and analytical method. The results reveal that the total income of farming families in the Jonggat District was IDR 13,259,772 per year, with women farmers contributing significantly to income at 32.6%. However, based on household purchasing power standards and farmer household income exchange rate criteria, the farmers and their families are still not prosperous.
