摘要：This research describes in depth about farmers’ social change after their farmland turned into sugar cane plantations which had an impact on the economic condition, social roles, social stratification, employment, and business opportunities among farmers of Gorontalo. The change was reflected in the increase in the labor force that moved out of agricultural sector. It also occurred in the status component in society between those who owned the land and the landless people. Landowners still had a social stratification position higher when compared to farmers who did not own any land, even those who had no land increasingly had narrower opportunities to improve their lot because they only remained becoming the farm-workers. Alternatively the government needs to implement regulations on function conversion of agricultural land which is fertile and productive because the phenomena that happen nowadays are the problems of agricultural land which start being narrowed or reduced every year.
