Summary

Introduction

Many forest area have been converted into agricultural land [1], but the opposite in which change in agricultural land use is a practice frequently occurred in many parts of Indonesia, such as in which agricultural land was turned into industrial area [2]. This is despite the fact that agricultural land is crucial for food security in this highly populated country. One of the most important issues in today’s development is sustainable agriculture. The conversion of agricultural land to non-agriculture is a change of land function or part of what was originally converted into land such as mines, buildings, and shops that resulted in the function of the land to switch the proper function.[4]
