Integrating natural resource resilience and agroecology: policy on protecting agricultural land from degradation in Magelang District, Central Java Province

Although the Government of Magelang District has local policies for land protection from degradation, landslide disaster has hampered the construction of the Rehabilitation of Farm Road (RJUT) of organic rice of UPLAND program in 2022 in Bandongan Sub-District and caused loss of farmer’s agricultural land in Sawangan. This research aimed to describe the impacts of land degradation, the relevance of local policy substance to the protection of upland farmland from degradation, identify the vulnerability of natural resources and build the integration concept consisting of resilience of natural resources and agroecology. The research was conducted in Grabag, Sawangan, and Bandongan Sub-Districts. The research method was descriptive qualitative by interviewing 18 farmers and 13 key informants by purposeful sampling and field observations. Qualitative data analysis using QDA Miner software. The results showed that local policies in Regional Regulation Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Development of Competitive and Environmentally Sound Agricultural Products and the Decree of the Head of the Agriculture and Food Service Office of Magelang District Number 188.4/694/SK/20/2021 concerning Determination of Prospective Farmers and Prospective Locations (CPCL) of UPLAND Activities in Magelang District are less relevant to protect land from holistic degradation (quality and ecological due to landslides) causing vulnerability to the resilience of natural resources. Therefore, it needs innovations in the form of public policies that are comprehensive, holistic, and integral through the integration model of natural resource resilience and sustainability of irrigation systems in upland agricultural land protection systems complementing each other.

This research aims to determine legal protection for agricultural land conservation in Bolaang Mongondow Regency based on social justice and to determine the implementation of Law Number 41 of 2009 concerning Sustainable Food Agricultural Land Protection regarding Agricultural Land Conservation in Bolaang Mongondow Regency. This research method uses empirical legal research methods.The results of the research that legal protection for agricultural land conservation in Bolaang Mongondow Regency based on social justice requires special attention. That farmers in the area have limited knowledge about agricultural land protection laws, which creates uncertainty in dealing with changes in land use and threats to the sustainability of agricultural land. Farmers' concerns about changes in land use illustrate the need to increase legal awareness and education among them. This increase in knowledge not only involves rights and obligations related to agricultural land, but also understanding the importance of active participation in decision making regarding agricultural land. Implementation of Law Number 41 of 2009 concerning Protection of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land, there are findings that although this law sets clear requirements for the transfer of agricultural land, practices in the field still indicate a threat to the sustainability of agricultural land. The need for active involvement of local governments in preventing practices that are detrimental to farmers and threaten the sustainability of agricultural land needs to be increased. Protection of farmers' rights, agricultural sustainability and social justice must be the main focus in ensuring that the implementation of the law achieves the desired objectives. Evaluation of cooperation between factories, local governments and farmers is also important to ensure balance and fairness in the distribution of economic benefits and legal protection.

Implementation of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land Protection Policy in South Tondano District, Minahasa Regency

This study aims to describe the implementation of sustainable food agriculture land protection policies in the South Tondano district, Minahasa Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that: 1) Socialization that was not optimal caused the community to not know the Policy for the Protection of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land. 2) Economic needs and population growth increase the need for residential land which causes people to build buildings in the LP2B referral area. 3) The Village Government does not act decisively and supports the expansion of settlements in Tataaran Village. 4) Violation of land conversion for sustainable food agriculture is the community's non-compliance with regulations as a result of lack of knowledge of policies. So the researchers suggest: 1) It is better for the government to carry out a thorough socialization to the community, not limited to the Village apparatus. 2) It is better for the government to provide solutions for people who do not have alternative options to build houses and places of business, as well as develop a more modern agricultural system so that young people are interested in working in agriculture. 3) It is better for the government as the implementer to have integrity in implementing a policy. 4) It is better for the government to provide regulations with heavier sanctions, for example in the form of fines for violating this regulation.

ЗЕМЛЕВПОРЯДНИЙ МЕХАНІЗМ У СИСТЕМІ УПРАВЛІННЯ ЗЕМЕЛЬНИМИ РЕСУРСАМИ: РОЛЬ ТА ФУНКЦІЇ

The article delves into the land management mechanism within the general land management system to maximize the effective utilization of agricultural land, investment opportunities, and productivity potential in rural areas, and to create conditions for its social transformation into a powerful factor of economic growth. Given the state's sustainable development strategy for land use, the introduction of the land market, and the conceptual shift of community development to territorial and spatial planning, which is a crucial tool for land resource management, attention is focused on several tasks that must be accomplished to improve the land management mechanism in the general system of managing land resources in the agricultural sector. Specifically, it is necessary to guarantee the most efficient and ecologically safe use of all agricultural lands suitable for profitable production of agricultural products; create territorial conditions for the consolidation of land plots and better their use by implementing measures that ensure the preservation of lands and their involvement in agricultural production; restore disturbed and degraded lands and bring them to the conditions suitable for agricultural production, among others. In order to effectively implement certain actions, it is necessary to pass all stages of planning for the rational use and protection of agricultural land at a legislative level. This will help to formulate and set relevant requirements for land management regulations within defined territorial zones, including provisions regarding the use and possible changes of these rules. The land management mechanism plays a crucial role in the land management system by carrying out various functions. The tasks of agriculture in the implementation of the land management mechanism within the general system of land resource management in the agricultural sector are also clearly defined and formulated.

Protection of agricultural land in realizing sustainable food security

Protection of agricultural land in realizing sustainable food security Merauke as one of the regencies that has large agricultural land often experiences crop failure due to climate change which can no longer be predicted. If there is a long dry season, agricultural land will become dry because Merauke has agricultural land that relies on rain, and vice versa, if the rainfall is high, it will flood so that agricultural land is damaged. The government’s efforts to realize food security are also threatened along with the widespread conversion of food agricultural land to non-agricultural food which is increasing every year. The research used in this research is normative legal research and empirical legal research The PLPPB Law regulates the protection of agricultural land to ensure national food availability and anticipate changing times and land use needs by various sectors. Efforts to overcome the problem of conversion of food agricultural land are by providing protection and empowerment as well as providing assistance to farmers such as providing seeds, providing free fertilizer, and tools that can be used to expedite the processing of agricultural land and also harvest equipment. Providing cooperatives to accommodate harvests at prices in line with market prices.

Potential ecological risk assessment of land use structure based on MCCA model: A case study in Yangtze River Delta Region, China

Since land resources are essential to human survival, the over-exploitation and unreasonable utilization of land threatens the sustainability of human society. This paper uses the well-developed Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region as a case study, and adopts an improved Mixed-cell Cellular Automata Model (MCCA) to simulate the potential utilization of land resources in 2025 and 2035. Then, the paper attempts to construct a comprehensive assessment system that integrates multiple indicators, and evaluates regional risk changes at a micro patch-cell level and a macro city. The results suggest that (1) The utilization of land resources varies greatly in the YRD region from 2020 to 2035. While Shanghai will continue to make use of available built up land resources, the majority of land resources in Jiangsu Province will shift away from being agricultural in nature. Since forests make up a majority of the land resources in Zhejiang Province, and forests and agricultural land make up a majority of land resources in Anhui Province, the change in land utilization in these two provinces will be more gradual. (2) Changes in land utilization are also likely to cause ecological risks. The risk level in Shanghai is the highest, it is relatively high in Zhejiang but is likely to decrease, relatively low in Jiangsu but likely to increase, and Anhui has the lowest risk level. (3) The K-means clustering method obtained three ecological risk zones of the YRD, and the overall risk level is the highest in the central-eastern zoning ③, followed by the southern zoning ②, and the lowest in the northern zoning ①. Furthermore, the agglomeration pattern of the three zones transforms from L-L to H-H. (4) This paper puts forward corresponding suggestions and countermeasures for four aspects, including the strengthening of agricultural land protection, the regulation of built-up land use expansion, the coordination of an all-rounded approach of urban development, and the fostering of regional sustainable development, in hopes of optimizing land usage and alleviating ecological risk levels. Scientific estimations of potential ecological risks are critical to avoiding future ecological crises thus contributing to more sustainability.

As a Result of Legal Transfer of Function of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land to Non-Agriculture

In a country like Indonesia, which is an agricultural country, which in fact is agricultural land, it shows that agricultural land is very crucial for national food security, but as time goes by, agricultural land is decreasing day by day due to the conversion of agricultural land to non-agriculture and also an increase in population. As for several factors that cause land conversion, among others, namely: Government Program factors, economic factors and social factors. In order to protect the rate of conversion of sustainable agricultural land, the Government issued Law Number 41 of 2009 concerning Protection of Sustainable Agricultural Land which was amended by Law no. 6 of 2023 concerning Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation to Become Law. This Law regulates legal consequences, namely criminal sanctions and civil sanctions if the conversion of agricultural land is sustainable which is not in accordance with laws and regulations as stated in Article 36 paragraph (1), Article 72, Article 73 paragraph (1 ), 74 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2). With the existence of sanctions in the Protection of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land Law, the government hopes to suppress the rate of land conversion based on the principles of independence, security and national food sovereignty.

The Chesapeake Bay Land Change Model: Simulating future land use scenarios and potential impacts on water quality

AbstractThe Chesapeake Bay Land Change Model (CBLCM) is an open‐source pseudo‐cellular automata land change model tailored for loose coupling with watershed models. The CBLCM simulates infill development, residential and commercial development, natural land and agricultural land conversion, and growth served by sewer or septic wastewater treatment. The CBLCM is unique among land change models by simulating multiple types of development and explicitly accounting for infill development and the spatial patterns of development densities. The CBLCM was used to simulate five future land use scenarios, holding population constant, for all counties within and adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay watershed from 2013 to 2055. Results are presented here for the state of Maryland over the period 2013–2025 to illustrate model functionality and validation. The growth management (GM) scenario achieved the least development and potential impacts to natural and agricultural lands while accommodating the same amount of population growth as the other four scenarios. Scenarios focusing exclusively on natural or agricultural land protection shifted development to unprotected areas resulting in unforeseen water quality consequences. Simultaneously achieving more compact development while protecting the most valued natural and agricultural lands requires a combination of GM and land conservation policies and actions.

The purpose of the study. On the basis of an assessment of the conditions and factors affecting the agro landscapes of an agricultural organization, design a set of protective measures aimed at increasing their sustainability. Research methods. The methodological basis was the systematic approach and its variety in the study of landscapes – landscape analysis. The methodological base should include the works of domestic and foreign scientists aimed at solving the problem of conservation of land resources and their protection. Statistical processing of analytical materials was carried out using dispersion and cluster analyses. The cartographic method and methods of GIS technologies were also used in the analysis of areas and modeling of processes. Research results. An agro-ecological assessment of the territory of agricultural land use, with an area of more than 16 thousand hectares, located in the forest-steppe of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, was made. It has been established that the territory is typical and the results obtained can be used in the analysis of sustainability and the development of measures for the protection of agricultural land uses operating in similar natural and climatic conditions in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan. Landscape areas are defined on the map-scheme, conditions and factors influencing the stability of agrolandscapes are described. It has been established that the main limiting factor influencing the stability of the territory is deflation, which manifests itself differently within landscape areas. A scientifically based complex of protective agro-, phyto-, forest reclamation measures has been developed, corresponding to the allocated land categories in the landscape-agro-ecological zoning scheme, aimed at increasing the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural land use. Conclusion. 1. An assessment of the sustainability of landscape areas (agrolandscapes) of an agricultural organization has been made. 2. Unique schematic map of landscape areas, steepness of slopes, erosion hazard of the territory, landscape-erosion zoning, and studied agricultural land use were compiled, the ecological state of the territory was determined. 3. A complex of agro-, phyto-, forest reclamation measures is presented, differentiated according to landscape areas for deflation-hazardous land categories in the landscape-agro-ecological zoning scheme, aimed at their protection and increasing the sustainability of the agricultural land use area. 4. The results of scientific research can be applied by agricultural producers, research institutions, regional and municipal authorities in the organization, planning, monitoring, evaluation and management of land resources in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Rational Use and Protection of Agricultural Land: Environmental and Legal Problems

The article proposes to consider the problems of ensuring the rational use and protection of the most important, according to the author, category of land in the Russian land fund — agricultural land. These lands play a decisive role in solving the issues of providing the country’s population with food, in achieving food security goals in modern conditions of imposing sanctions on Russia by unfriendly countries. The author notes the existence of certain legal instruments aimed at achieving this goal — the relevant sources of Russian law, the activities of certain state authorities, including those specially authorized to exercise state control (supervision) in the sphere of relations under consideration, the state mechanism for identifying, suppressing, punishing persons who have committed land offenses that have led to the deterioration of agricultural land and soils, moreover, which made it impossible to use such lands for their intended purpose. In the article, the author provides data characterizing the state with the use of such lands, identifies the main negative factors contributing to the creation of such a situation. As a result of some analysis of the current situation with ensuring the proper use and protection of lands of this category, the author formulates his proposals for improving the existing mechanism aimed at achieving the goals of ensuring food security in Russia.

Ecological and Economic Effects of Applying the Future Agricultural Production Structure Model (FAPSMS): The Case Study of the Barička River Basin

It is necessary to harmonize the needs of society in terms of agricultural production and land protection from various forms of degradation throughout sustainable land management. Assessing the justification of investment in sustainable management of land resources is an important step in this process. Consequently, an analysis of soil erosion risk was carried out in the suburban area of the morphological unit of the Barička river watershed, using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) method, with the existing and projected structure of agricultural production according to the Future Agricultural Production Structure Model from the Aspect of Preserving Land Resources for Mountain Catchment Areas of Serbia (FAPSMS). The value of the existing and projected production structure from an economic aspect was also examined using dynamic economic methods. In order to assess the risk and uncertainty of investments, a sensitive analysis of dynamic methods was carried out. The results show that soil erosion losses are already below tolerance values with the existing production structure and that they could be reduced even more by applying the designed structure. Economic indicators show that the investment is justified and that it is more sensitive to changes in income.

Determinants of Sustainable Land Use Change in Agricultural Utilization and Environmental Performance

This paper aims to analyze the determining factors in the use of sustainable agro-industry by implementing renewable energy and environmental management performance. The paper also aims to investigate environmental policies carried out by the local government to minimize land-use conversion of agricultural utilization to non-agricultural functions. This study uses a data driven empirical approach in examining agro-industrial utilization in land-use conversion in Boyolali, Indonesia. The nature of the study was by employing sociology of law to analyze policy aspects in social interactions in environmental performance and sustainability ideas in land-use coversion cases. The results of the study show that the orientation of economic growth by implementing a renewable system and preserving agricultural land is the basis for regional policies to protect agricultural land. The findings also highlight spatial planning as the most important aspect in technical implementation of sustainability pratices in the cases of land-use conversion to non-agricultural functions. The findings would imply the need for optimization and control of agricultural land protection through environmentally-friendly local policies to control land-use conversion and maintain sustainable functions of land. The findings also imply to the importance of environmentally-friendly policies ranging from preparation of regulations, determination of regional spatial plans, environmental permits, and incentives in managing sustainability of environmental performance in land-use policy in local context.

Legislative protection of agricultural land

The agricultural land (AL) needs to be protected due to the steady growth of the global population and the demand for the food, living, work and recreation. The legislation in the area of AL protection in Slovakia has had almost 70-year tradition and 5 regulations with various effectivity of protection have been passed. These regulations reflect the social relations, technical advance, legal culture, as well as the experience of lawmakers. The basic characteristics for the land protection were defined by the social relations in the country. The first years are characterized by the collectivization of land, which changed the individual private farmsteads to collective. The alignment of public and private legal interests in the agricultural sector was disrupted by decisions of the Communist party and the scientific view on the concept of land protection conflicted with the political interests. This 40-year period caused a disruption of the relationship between the farmers and the land, which has not been restored up to the present day. The transformational era is characterized by a downfall of big state farms and a transformation to the market economy. The agrarian policy after 1990 was dominated by a conflict between the efforts to restore the private farmsteads from the era before 1950 and the need to preserve the big agricultural companies, which would be adequately competitive in the free market. The last era is linked to the accession of the Slovak Republic to the European Union in 2004. Since this year, the concept of land protection has been synchronized with the scientific, political and legislative perception of land in the international area and the land protection has been a subject of a vast legal regulation. The degree of land protection is a result of multiple laws and lower regulations and decrees and their synergic effect is expected in the practice. The paper analyses 5 regulations which are focused on the AL protection, and its aim is to quantify the legislative protection level between years 1951 and 2020. The value of agricultural land protection index (ALPI) is increasing with time and it reflects the weak and strong aspects of the protection in the context of social, economic, and ecological potential of the land. The analysis monitors 107 directive, control, and economic tools for AL protection. The results are presented in graphs and the relevant information is highlighted and explained. The results show the favourable evolution of the land protection in Slovakia. In the discussion, there is a space for the effectiveness assessment of the observed regulations, for the comparison of the objectives of the individual regulations and the practical results of the effect of these regulations on social relations. The statistics of the land evolution in the observed 70-year period are good indicators for this purpose. Since the analysis shows the negatives of the regulations, it provides new impulses and can be inspiration for the lawmakers. The method used for the regulation assessment or the comparison of regulations can be applied in various fields of science.

Legal Regulations to Protect Availability of Sustainable Food Farming Land

Protection of agricultural land, especially sustainable food agricultural land has become an obligation for the government to make various policies, both in the form of laws and other regulations. However, if the efforts to control food agricultural land do not receive adequate support or are not integrated into the integrated development of the agricultural sector, these efforts will not succeed. This research uses a descriptive method is a method that examines the status of human groups, an object and a condition, a system of thought or an event in the present. It was conducted in North Sulawesi Province as a research location based on the reality of the many spatial problems in this area. The results showed that the implementation of LP2B in North Sulawesi Province is only in planning and has not been implemented properly by the local government or the Land Office in the implementation of land conversion because there is no regional regulation that stipulates LP2B and there is no map available as a reference in controlling the conversion of agricultural land in North Sulawesi Province. Efforts that can be made in optimizing the implementation of control over land use change through LP2B are the effectiveness of communication, socialization, coordination between agencies, formation of the LP2B team, capacity building of resources that are implementing policies, and financial resources. The government of North Sulawesi Provincial needs to form a Regional Regulation on sustainable agricultural food land accompanied by a map attachment so that it does not create uncertainty in its implementation.

Exploring the spatial patterns of soil salinity and organic carbon in agricultural areas of Lesvos Island, Greece, using geoinformation technologies

The salt-affected soils national map of Greece was recently made available within the initiative of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO. The present study explores the development of higher resolution soil property maps included in this national scale product adopting a modified version of the FAO methodology and a logistic regression (LR) method based on ground and satellite data. Furthermore, it also investigates the correlation between saline soils and soil organic carbon (SOC) using geospatial analysis methods. The island of Lesvos in Greece has been selected as a case study. A probabilistic model for saline soils in the agricultural land of Lesvos is produced by exploiting geoinformation technologies. As a result, the spatial distribution of saline soils in the croplands of Lesvos was obtained. Indicatively, areas with p > 0.80 for the occurrence of saline soils accounting for ∼20% of a total area of 169.51 km2 of the croplands in Lesvos. The Nagelkerke R2 coefficient showed that the probabilistic model interprets 11.3% of the variance of the dependent variable from the independent factors. The model accuracy was assessed adopting the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, which showed a reasonable adaptability with area under curve (equal to 0.73). The methodological approach proposed herein can support decision-making on agricultural land protection and planning activities which are key priority today due to environmental instability, food security, and climate change.
