This study aims to determine the perceptions of the farmers about the degraded land impact in Tarakan City. The study was conducted at the agricultural center, Juata Permai Village. This study was a descriptive study using a qualitative approach. The data collection used was by questionnaire and in-depth interviews. The result calculation of the score related to the farmers’ understanding of the degraded land impact was not-good. This showed that the level of knowledge and understanding of the farmers about the degraded land impact is low.
