Abstract

Along with the increasing of development activity and the increase of population of course on the other side need land and space as place to accommodate the development activity take place. Land use by any development activity will at least change the initial environmental tone to a new environmental tone, resulting in a change in environmental sustainability. With the occurrence of changes in environmental tone let alone to happen over the agricultural land functions then this is a threat to the achievement of food security and sovereignty. Land use transfer has serious implications for food production, physical environment, and the welfare of agricultural and rural communities whose livelihood depends on their land. The conversion of fertile agricultural land has been less balanced by the integrated efforts to develop agricultural land through the printing of potential new agricultural land. On the other hand, the conversion of agricultural land causes the narrowness of cultivated land and often leads to a decrease in the welfare of farmers.
