Indonesia is an agrarian country with potential in agriculture that aligns differently from the possibility of supporting human resources. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce agriculture from an early age. Early childhood learning programs with an agricultural perspective can teach children the importance of agriculture and basic skills such as caring for, watering and planting plants. This research aims to understand the significance of agriculture-based learning in early childhood education environments. This research method uses Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyze Extensions for scoping reviews using three databases, namely Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Sage journals. The literature reviewed from the scoping study obtained eight articles that used qualitative and quantitative or mixed methods. The types of journals produced are primarily children's education journals, environmental education journals for children, and journals about nutrition for children. Many research subjects also centre on children's intelligence, scientific and nature-friendly attitudes, and cognitive, language, and social skills that children can acquire from gardening or agriculture-based learning. From data collection and preparation of literature material, benefits from agricultural-based learning programs are obtained. This benefit is the basis for the importance of agriculture-based learning in kindergarten children. The benefits of agricultural learning-based activities in Early Childhood Education (ECE) include increasing early childhood knowledge and love of farming activities, increasing children's naturalistic intelligence, promoting healthy food in early childhood, environmentally friendly attitudes, and cognitive intelligence.
