Abstract
Food land has a very important meaning in efforts to maintain food security. However, as time goes by, population growth and economic demands, the existence of food plots begins to be disrupted. One of the serious problems currently related to food land is the increasingly widespread conversion of food land to other uses. This research aims to determine the internal factors of farmers that influence agricultural land conversion in Sleman Regency. Internal factors in this research include production costs, farmer capabilities, and farmer economic conditions. Data collection techniques use questionnaires, documentation and interviews. The sampling method used a purposive sampling method with a total of 30 respondents. The data analysis method uses multiple linear regression analysis. The research results show that production costs (0.02 > 0.05) and farmers^ economic conditions (0.01 < 0.05) have a significant effect on agricultural land conversion. Farmer ability (0.17 > 0.05) does not have a significant effect on agricultural land conversion. This means that the size of production costs and the economic conditions of farmers influence the conversion of agricultural land. On the other hand, the size of the farmer^s capacity does not influence the occurrence of agricultural land conversion.
