The area of agricultural land tends to decrease each year due to land conversion. In 2009 the area of land was reduced by 97 hectares. This is because the land is allocated to non-agricultural land. In urban areas, with all the busyness faced by people in urban areas they do not have time to farm. Moreover, not enough land is available or has no room to come into contact with agricultural cultivation. Not to mention that we often see dwellings that are quite dense and save land, how to foster hobbies and agricultural businesses, especially for housewives, teenagers or retirees? Currently various methods are carried out in line with technological developments. Verticulture is a technique of farming in a room / narrow land by utilizing a vertical plane as a place for farming which is carried out in stages. The purpose of verticulture is to make optimal use of narrow land. The stages of this implementation are the Socialization of Verticulture Cultivation Techniques at Ibnu Sina MTs, Assistance and the process of planting verticultural cultivation techniques, Evaluation and gift giving as awards to students and schools. The results achieved in this community service are products or goods produced in the form of verticulture, this socialization service is carried out in practice so that participants, students and teachers, can understand the techniques of plant cultivation with verticultural techniques as well as good planting and maintenance methods, Plant cultivation techniques with vertikultus techniques and ways of planting and good care have been understood by students in Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) Ibnu Sina, Pematangsiantar City and have been well implemented.

One of the alternatives to mitigate  the limitations of agricultural land in urban areas in an effort to produce family food is the use of yard with verticulture method. However, the partners of this community service activity were housewives in Permata Griya RT Residence 03/RW 019; most of them have not utilized their home yard for any productive and economically valuable activities through plant cultivation. This is caused by the limited land and partners’ knowledge about plant cultivation techniques. This community service activity aims to provide training and practice of narrow land utilization with verticulture method, arranging plants vertically using used tins and plastic bottles.. The service activity was conducted through lecture, discussion, and demonstration approach. The result of the activity impacted on the participants’ knowledge and insight: all participants knew cultivation techniques and make the growing media of verticulture mainly by using used goods

PPKM (Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities) and the Kampung Tangguh Program are one of its policies. With the formation of this policy, the community is also encouraged to carry out productive activities even from home. Some of the growing trends are the existence of urban farming which is often used in urban areas that are quite densely populated. Besides being useful in food security, urban farming also helps the productivity of the community. Kuliah Kerja Nyata is an activity from the Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur in an effort to serve the community in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Students do community service in RT I RW XI Kelurahan Kertajaya, Kecamatan Gubeng, Surabaya City by implementing an introduction to hydroponic cultivation techniques and education that are easy and can be done by the community. The purpose of doing community service by KKN students themselves is so that the community can be helped by the community service carried out by students and can create resilience in the food sector. The method used in this paper uses the results of observations and direct interviews with local residents. And the results of hydroponics are expected to inspire the community in developing hydroponics independently.

Increasing the number of populations in urban areas results in increasing the need for shelter and food, while the land area is limited. This has led to a conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land, especially in sub-urban areas that directly adjacent to urban areas. This study aimed to identify the impact of agricultural land conversion, and also to estimate the economic value of paddy land loss in sub-urban of Bantul Regency. Data were collected through structured interviews, institutional data, and literature reviews. These data were analyzed in a quantitative descriptive. Most of the paddy fields are converted for home and housing, partially used for economic activities that have higher land rent such as shops, boarding houses, and restaurants. The perceived impact is increasing air temperature, air pollution, also reduced employment opportunities and income from agricultural sector. The total economic value of the direct use obtained from the existence of agricultural land in Bantul sub-urban is IDR 96 806 832 ha–1 yr–1. It is includes the value of rice production of IDR 53 934 540 ha–1 yr–1, the value of employment opportunities is IDR 17 126 688 ha–1 yr–1 and the value of agricultural income is IDR 25 745 604 ha–1 yr–1.

<p class="p0">Housing and business centers are growing rapidly in the urban area. This causes agricultural land and other green lands increasingly narrow due to land conversion. One area affected by land conversion is Lengkong Kulon Village, Tangerang Regency, where most of the agricultural land has been turned into a residential area and business center. This condition has an impact on food availability which is getting lower and environmental quality is declining. To overcome these problems, Surya University, supported by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemenristekdikti), organized community service activities by pioneering sustainable green villages and adequate nutrition through vertical farming. This program was implemented by the workshop and participatory community. The number of participants involved in this activity was more than 25 people from youth groups concerned about the environment, PKK members, and university students. This activity consisted of three stages: Community awareness building, Vertical and organic farming training, and Providing vertical farming equipment assistance packages. The result of this community service showed that participants knowledge about organic farming and vertical farming increased from 26% to 86% and from 11% to 72%, respectively. In addition, the level of community skills to apply organic farming systems also increased from 15% to 80%, and for vertical farming increased from 7% to 60%. This activity is expected to improve environmental conditions as well as food access for target communities through consumption of sufficients vegetables and fruits grown using the vertical farming system. </p><p class="p0"><strong>Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak</strong>: Abstrak Pesatnya pembangunan komplek perumahan dan pusat bisnis di perkotaan telah menyebabkan semakin sempitnya lahan pertanian dan lahan hijau lainnya akibat alih fungsi lahan.

Agricultural land conversion (ALC) is an incentive-driven process. In this paper, we further investigate the inter-relationship between land economic value (LEV) and ALC. To achieve this goal, we calculated the LEV for agricultural and non-agricultural (housing) uses in two areas of East Java, Indonesia. The first area represents peri-urban agriculture, which is facing rapid urbanization and experiencing a high rate of ALC. The second area represents rural agriculture, with zero ALC. Furthermore, we identified factors affecting LEV in both areas for both uses. The results of this study show that agricultural land yielded a higher economic benefit in rural areas. Conversely, compared to agricultural land, housing in urban areas yields a value that is seven times higher. Moreover, agricultural land was shown to yield a higher profit after conversion. Ironically, a similar comparison does not exist in rural areas. Agricultural land yielded a value that was only 19% higher, indicating that agricultural land can easily be converted. This is also proven by the growing number of new urban cores in the periphery area. There are several factors affecting land economic value, such as agricultural use, soil fertility, accessibility, and cropping pattern, which are important variables. Meanwhile, the accessibility and location of peri-urban areas increase the land value for housing.

Taxation of the agricultural sector is a major instrument for mobilization of the surplus to finance development projects within the agricultural sector and/or the rest of the economy. For many years, the need for a heavier taxation of agricultural land has formed part of the conventional wisdom regarding the ways of extracting agricultural surplus and increasing the tempo of agricultural development in poor countries. Land taxes have both equity and efficiency properties that gladden the hearts of both economists and vocal politicians belonging to urban areas. Taxes on land promote efficiency in the allocation of scarce resources by creating incentives for farmers to increase their effort and reduce their consumption, thus expanding the amount of agricultural produce available to the non-agricultural sectors of the economy. A tax on land has an important redistributive function because its incidence falls squarely on the landlord and is shifted neither forward to consumers nor backwards to suppliers of agricultural inputs; nor does it introduce distortions in the allocation of productive resources.

Mostly,Banyuwangi people work as farmers due to the fertil soil and wide amount of agricultural land in Banyuwangi . Thelarge number of people who work as farmers initiating the formation of farmer groups. One of the farmer groups in theSrono sub-district of Banyuwangi is the "Tan Selo 1" farmers group located in the village of Sukomaju and the "TanSelo 2" farmers group in Sukonatar village. The normal average price of one banana bunch in Banyuwangi is between50-60 thousand depending on the type and quality of bananas. Problems arise when the quantity of bananas in the marketarose, the price of 1 bunch of bananas decreases dramatically. The price of 1 bunch which is usually set at 50-60thousand drops drastically to only 20-30 thousand. This is certainly a problem for farmers in the Tan Selo group. The lackof knowledge of Tan Selo farmers about alternative variants of processed banana based products and the lack ofknowledge of the marketing strategies make it hard for the Tan Selo farmers to increase the economic value of bananaswhich have been used as an alternative income for farmers. Therefore, the solutions offered to overcome the problems offarmers include: equipping and improving farmers' knowledge about the variety of processed banana-based foods andtheir marketing strategies, conducting training to make variations on banana-based foods, conducting training oneffective marketing strategies. Overall, a series of community service programs were carried out perfectly as it expected.The percentage of participants' understanding in choosing high quality bananas is 85%, the percentage of participants’ability in processing banana-based foods is 86%, and percentage of participants who successfully sell processed foodproducts by utilizing online shopping sites is 70%
