Agriculture Carrying Capacity Evaluation of Land Subsidence Area in Yogyakarta Special Province

Abstract

The Special Region of Yogyakarta Province is one of the regions where the agricultural sector serves as a significant source of income. Due to the development of the region in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, several districts have experienced a decline in agricultural land due to land conversion for residential purposes. The ability of an area to achieve food self -sufficiency or meet its own food needs can be assessed through Land Carrying Capacity (DDL) and food availability. This analysis of Land Carrying Capacity for Agriculture and Food Availability employs a quantitative descriptive method. The land carrying capacity in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province in 2022 indicates that all districts/cities have a DDL value of <1. This implies that the districts/cities in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province cannot achieve food self-sufficiency and cannot adequately meet the population's food needs.
