This research addresses the theme "Farmer Mental Attitudes and the Lack of Gen-Z Interest in Food Crop Farming in Beru-Beru Village, Kalukku District, Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi Province in 2025." The main focus of this study is to analyze the mental attitudes of farmers and to explore the factors causing the low interest of Gen-Z in the field of food crop farming. The approach used is a qualitative method, with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and questionnaires involving five farmers and five respondents from the Gen-Z group in Beru-Beru Village. Research findings indicate that farmers generally have a positive outlook on their profession and are ready to face various challenges, including adopting agricultural technology. Meanwhile, most Gen-Z individuals express interest in agriculture, but they still face obstacles such as limited capital, access to technology, and a lack of training and guidance. A small portion of Gen-Z respondents view agriculture as less aligned with their personal interests and modern lifestyle. The analysis results indicate a gap between the older generation who are still active in agriculture and Gen-Z who do not yet fully consider agriculture as a prospective career choice. Therefore, strategic interventions from various stakeholders are needed to create a more innovative, efficient, and attractive agricultural sector for Gen-Z, in order to ensure the sustainability of agriculture in the future
