This study aims to analyze the environmental and social conditions and policies on salt production in Jeneponto. Salt farmers in Jeneponto Regency contribute to national salt production even though they still employ with traditional methods and technology. One of the main challenges in traditional salt production is the dependence of salt farmers on weather and environmental conditions. However, local and regional government policies do not support traditional salt production. This condition makes the social and economic conditions of the majority of salt farmers still in the poverty line.
