The research aimed is to examine the ecological dimensions of organic farming SRI in East Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study used a case study method with a qualitative analysis approach. The results showed that the SRI pattern could improve soil quality, the formation of organic rice land zones that could be formed the production areas and agro-tourism areas, intensity of plant pests controlling that environmentally friendly, water management efficiently, and utilization of rice straw after harvest and the decrease of of chemical fertilizers utilization. The practices could be guarantees the sustainability of organic farming.
