have resulted to the continual decline in productive agricultural land the main reason is
the rapid urbanization and industrialization of the provinces nearby Metropolitan Manila
and other cities of the Philippines. Rice area in Laguna decreased by more than 50
percent that is similar to Bulacan from 1971 to 1992. The formerly planted crops from
those agricultural land stated above are rice, sugarcane and coconut. (Moya, Pingali,
act identifying how agricultural lands shall be used for non-agricultural uses such as
integrate in the land use plan. The Department of Agrarian Reform stated that changing

According to the study of Md. Abdul Halim1, Md. Mizanoor Rahman and Md.
Zahidul Hassan the rapid urbanization in the cities of Metropolitan countries have
experienced a huge increased to their population. This current situation increased the
demand for land that pushed the city to extend outward from their limit. As the
population and the growth of economy increases, the agricultural land usually converted
into non-farm products and services such as roads, markets, educational institutions,
electricity and industrial establishments. They also stated that there are different

perspective of scholars about the definition of the term land use. For Ram and Kolakar
land use is a product of interaction between society’s cultural background, skill and its
physical needs, for Di Gregorio and Jansen 1998 define land use as a men’s activities
on land produced by people to maintain a land. Agricultural land defined by Kend and

(1992) maintains, “The primary reason for the conversion is that under urban uses a
much higher rent is recovered. The conversion from one land use to another is the
world food frospects is due to the rapid industrial growth and urban development
affecting the agricultural land use as a whole. The agricultural qualities like topography,
location, fertility, climate, also make it suitable for other uses. The idea of growth and
belief in the power of technology are strongly embedded in the socialist countries that
lead them to convert agricultural land into something better indutrial. (Poznanska 1978)
Mohammad Rondhi , Pravitasari Anjar Pratiwi, and Vivi Trisna Handini stated in

land is the wealth generating asset for farmers and play an important role for economic
factor. The limited unrenewable nature of land creates competition between agricultural

and non-agricultural land that gives rise to land conversion that significantly threatened
food supply because of agricultural land availability. (Pratiwi and others 2018)
