Abstract

In Indonesia the role of the agricultural sector is very important in supporting the national economy, but the community's appreciation of agriculture is relative low compared with other sectors. This causes the appreciation of agricultural land to be low, disproportionate to the level of benefits. People in Indonesia are new to 2 to 3 types multifunctional of agricultural land, that is function keeper an groundwater supply, controller flood and provider of employment. Whereas the function of agricultural land for humanity is much more, as a producer of agricultural products, play a role in mitigating flooding, erosion and sedimentation control, mitigation air temperature increases, natural resource recycling, organic waste container, a deduction of nitrate levels in ground water and so on. Some workable solutions to maintain the multifunction of this agricultural land are to improve the image of agriculture and farming society, change the policy of cheap agricultural products and increase the appreciation of the multifunction of agriculture itself, because if the multifunction of agricultural land is not maintained, then sustainable food independence is definitely not will be realized
