The mapping of sustainable food agriculture land in Kediri City

Land is the main capital for agricultural sector's development. Kediri City has the potential agricultural land area of 1900 ha, which spreads in three districts (Mojoroto, Pesantren, and Kota). 0,27% of Kediri's Regional income comes from the agriculture sector and provide 30% of the food needs of Kediri City. The sustainability of agriculture lands in Kediri competes with other sectors which become the leading sector of Kediri such as Industry, services, and tourism. The government of Kediri City has the potential agricultural land assets of 548 ha to be developed into sustainable food agriculture land. However, the existing conditions indicate most of the rice agriculture land of Kediri planted with sugar cane, which is not food commodity. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the physical potential of the Kediri agriculture land and analyze the needs of food agriculture land in Kediri City based on population projection. Variables needed to analyze physical potential of agriculture land were topography, soil type, crops commodity, irrigation system and Kediri City's spatial land use planning. Based on the results of physical potential analysis, it is known that the Kediri City has a potential food agriculture sustainable land that covers an area of 407.26 ha, the potential of alternative sustainable food agriculture land that covers an area of 971.24 ha with the total area of sustainable food agriculture land of 1,378.46 ha. The result shows that until the year 2038, Kediri City requires 892,46 ha of rice agriculture land area. Comparing between the potential and the need for food agriculture land indicates that until 2038, the city of Kediri has sufficient agriculture land to be developed into a sustainable food agriculture area of Kediri City.
