POLICY FOR THE PROTECTION OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL LAND IN THE POLITICAL DIMENSIONS OF SPATIAL PLANNING LAW

Abstract

This paper aims to explain the concept and analyze the implementation of sustainable agricultural food protection policies in Indonesia. This is inseparable from the problem of the conversion of agricultural land to non-agriculture which continues to occur. These problems are not in accordance with Act No. 41 of 2009, which aims to guarantee the right to food as a basic right of every citizen and also wants to realize the independence, resilience, and food sovereignty as well as the welfare of farmers, especially the weak. This research is a normative legal research with legislation and analytical approach and information technology approach. The results of this research concluded that sustainable agricultural land protection policies cannot stand alone because they depend heavily on regulatory support in the field of spatial planning. It was also concluded that the implementation of sustainable agricultural food protection policies in Indonesia contained in regional regulations regarding spatial planning is still very low due to various factors that influence it, especially the political factors of regional authorities who are less concerned with this policy.
