    Agriculture is always interrelated with climate change in which it links mutual correlation on global scale. As ensuing climate change, agriculture contributes on producing green hause gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. In addition, agriculture contributes as well in shifting forest area and land cover. At the same time, while climate change has been occurring, agriculture would be influenced. For instance: poverty, drought, unpredictable weather and sudden insect attack will affect harvest time and productivity of agriculture plants. Most of these serious problems affected by both climate change and agriculture must be overcome as soon as possible. However, these problems will be not easily turning hands because it is a general problem threatening each country in the world. An important factors redundantly concerned is who the causes of climate change and not eco-friendly agriculture system are. Yes, we will directly confess that anthropogenics are the major factor of the whole. So, by educating students early about eco-friendly agriculture to students is a green path which is able to address climate change. From the above, IGAF did real action by educating students of SD N 2 Stobyong (elementary students) to understand well about agriculture and climate change as well as the environment. This initiative was built to educate student early in which factually the students would be the next generation who would inherit the environment. objectIVES The objectives of project entitled ?Early Agricultural Education for Students at SD N 2 Srobyong, Mlonggo Jepara? were: 1. to ehnace environmental awareness of students about the importance of agriculture and climate change to sustainable environment 2. to encourage the willingness of students in developing initiatives for protecting the environment 3. to deepen understanding of students about climate change and its occurring impacts as well as best practices.
