<![CDATA[This study delves into the dynamics of agricultural health in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region Province, Indonesia, from 2017 to 2022. Utilizing NDVI modeling with remote sensing data from Landsat by the USGS, our research aims to comprehend the shifts and trends in agricultural land health during this defined time limit. The primary objectives encompass understanding these alterations and assessing how urbanization and land utilization impact the well-being of agricultural lands in Sleman Regency. Employing Landsat's remote sensing data with a specific focus on NDVI modeling, we conducted a thorough analysis. Throughout the 2017-2022 analysis period, a concerning and consistent decline in healthy agricultural lands was observed. By 2022, only 4581.56 hectares of agricultural land remained healthy, constituting a mere 0.011% of the total region, while the expanse of unhealthy land surged from 1109.48 hectares in 2017 to 1160.8 hectares in 2022. This shift underscores a distressing deterioration in the health of agricultural plants due to diminished agricultural land. Urbanization emerges as a notable factor, encroaching upon vital agricultural spaces. To counter this trend, proactive protection and effective regulation of designated agricultural zones by the Sleman Regency Government are imperative to ensure sustainable cultivation of essential food crops within the region and maintain the overall well-being of the agricultural landscape. Strengthening policies for sustainable urban development in harmony with agricultural interests is pivotal to securing prosperous and balanced socio-economic growth.]]>
