Juwana Watershed which has a relatively large catchment area, spread between the North Kendeng Mountains, the Pati Ayam Mountains, and Mount Muria. The existence of a watershed has an important role for the surrounding community. At present in the Juwana watershed there is a huge of critical land due to inappropriate land management with the rules of conservation. The shape of the watershed is rounded, this caused frequent flooding. This fan-patterned river caused rainwater down the mountain towards the Juwana River and causing overflow during rainy seasons and making the river dry up quickly in the dry season. These conditions need a special action for agriculture to adapt to the local conditions. Sustainable agricultural systems in principle is a system which are back to nature, do not damage, do not change, harmonize, and balance with the environment. To realize that, some agricultural activities carried out in the Juwana watershed the local community implemented several patterns and agricultural activity including 1) Crop Rotation; 2) Cover Crop; 3) Land Management; 4) Integrated Agriculture; 5) Integrated Pest Management, and 6) Organic Cultivation. Sustainable agriculture in the Juwana watershed aims to create a farming system that reduces environmental hazard as part of a larger movement towards sustainable development, which recognizes that natural resources are limited, the limits of economic growth, and encourages equity in resource allocation.
