description The integrated farming system plays an important role in supporting zero-waste agriculture. This study aims to describe the implementation of the integrated farming system of arrowroot and livestock adopted by arrowroot farmers, analyze the farmers’ perception of this integrated farming system, and analyze the relationship between farmers’ perception and their socio-economic conditions. The research was conducted on 91 members of women’s farming groups in Pengasih District, Kulonprogo Regency, and in Prambanan District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region Province. These groups practice an integrated farming system combining arrowroot cultivation and livestock. The results show that the integrated farming system of arrowroot and livestock supports sustainable agriculture, particularly zero-waste, by reducing agricultural and livestock waste. Farmers have a positive perception of the integrated system, especially regarding production efficiency and environmental benefits. Farmers’ perceptions are positively correlated with household involvement in farming, educational level, and active participation in farmer groups, and negatively correlated with farmers’ risk levels.
