  To support food security programs, the government needs to tighten permits for converting agricultural land into non-agricultural land through the designation and updating of sustainable food agricultural land (LP2B) in the regional spatial plan and detailed spatial plan so that productive paddy fields have clearer legal protection. Local governments also need to ensure that every location permit and development activity complies with spatial zoning and to reject permits in agricultural cultivation areas. In addition to tightening land conversion permits, the government should consider providing extension services to farmers on how to utilize existing agricultural land more optimally to obtain maximum benefits.
