Training on chemical use had no relationship with literacy Farmers' health in the production of organic agriculture has a negative relationship with Knowledge of self-protection of farmers. The attitude of farmers towards the use of pesticides and chemicals. Health literacy of farmers in organic production with the value of the coefficient p <.01. The revenue is not related to knowledge of self-protection of farmers and health literacy of farmers in organic production and has a very low relationship with farmers' attitudes towards the use of pesticides and self-protection behaviors of farmers where the coefficient p <.01. The factors and the development of literacy building of organic farmers, consisting of social context, beliefs, attitudes, age, knowledge seeking, media training / books, awareness of family benefits and health, learning network Support from government agencies by proposing guidelines for educating and changing behavior to develop health literacy of organic producers.
