Abstract
In Indonesia, addressing food security is challenged by a rapidly growing population, leading to increased consumption and diminished agricultural land availability due to ongoing land conversion. This study focuses on assessing the food carrying capacity in the Baki Sub-District as a critical component of regional food security. From a geographical perspective, the research employs spatial analysis to evaluate the food carrying capacity in the Baki Sub-District. Data collection involved the utilization of mathematical formulas, enabling a comprehensive analysis of the food carrying capacity. Spatial analysis was facilitated through a Geographic Information System (GIS). The findings reveal that a significant portion of the Baki Sub-District maintains a high food carrying capacity, particularly in the southern regions. However, areas proximate to Surakarta City, impacted by regional development, experience a reduction in food carrying capacity due to the conversion of agricultural land to residential use. This study contributes valuable insights into the spatial dynamics of food carrying capacity in the Baki Sub-District, providing essential information for regional food security planning.
