This research will be conducted on the farmer group "Surya Tani" Sumberpinang Village, Pakusari District, Jember Regency. Farmers who are members of the farmer group are affected by climate change which makes their tobacco crops fail to harvest. Damaged and wilted tobacco leaves are triggered by high soil moisture due to continuous rain during the dry season. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive research type. In addition, the data collection techniques used interviews, observation and documentation. This study concludes that 1) The income in tobacco cultivation is quite large and the multiple effects or impacts on the environment and surrounding social life are also quite significant.
