Pesantren Sebagai Pusat Agribisnis: Studi Kasus Di Pesantren Nurul Qornain

Abstract

Today, Islamic boarding schools are required to be able to adapt to advances in knowledge and technology in an effort to maintain their existence. One way for pesantren to survive is by updating the system and better management patterns, especially in terms of finance. Islamic boarding schools must be able to become more independent institutions so that they are not only dependent on one source of funding.
