Abstract

The conversion of agricultural land in Indonesia continues to increase due to industrial, housing, and infrastructure development that is not balanced with efforts to protect sustainable food land. This condition poses a threat to food security, environmental sustainability, and agrarian justice. This research aims to reconstruct agrarian policies in controlling sustainable agricultural land conversion in Indonesia through an analysis of the effectiveness of regulations, institutions, and the implementation of applicable policies. The research uses normative legal methods with legislative, conceptual, and socio-legal approaches. Data was obtained through literature studies, documentation, and interviews with 15 informants consisting of academics, local governments, and farmers. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively through legal interpretation techniques and thematic analysis. The results of the study show that the policy of controlling land use transfer is still sectoral, there is weak supervision, and there is an insynchronization between spatial planning policies and economic development. This research offers a reconstruction of agrarian policies based on integrated governance, strengthening supervision, and legal protection of sustainable agricultural land
