Indonesia is the country with the third largest rice production in the world. To strengthen food security in the future, Indonesia needs to implement food protection policies in every region. This underlies the issuance of several related regulations, including Law No. 41 of 2009 about sustainable food agricultural land (LP2B), Government Regulation (PP) No. 12 of 2012 about incentives for protecting LP2B. The success of implementing these regulations is certainly different in each region. This can be measured from the extent to which the implementation of this LP2B policy has been running, including in Gorontalo Regency. The purpose of this research is to find out how to implement the LP2B policy in the Gorontalo Regency. This research used qualitative methods with a literature study approach supported by data from the Head of the Gorontalo District Agriculture Office as key informants. The results of this study indicate that the Gorontalo regency government currently has a regional regulation (PERDA) No. 2 of 2017 which regulates LP2B protection program, however, there are no clear geographical boundaries regarding the LP2B program in Gorontalo Regency also not implemented yet the regulations related to incentives for farmers whose land is determined in the LP2B program.
