Narrowing

Agricultural land is shrinking due to the rapid development of buildings, housing, and tourism sites that are often constructed on rice fields. This poses a significant dilemma for all Indonesians, as reduced farmland directly impacts food availability. Gradually, interest in farming is also declining, with farming perceived as a profession that no longer promises prosperity. Factors like crop failures and low purchase prices for harvests provide strong reasons for farmers to abandon their fields and switch professions. Many farmers are now turning to trade, factory work, and other occupations, leaving the agricultural sector behind.
