In the Metro City, this is stated in Regional Regulation No. 21/2016 to be the basis for a policy of protection of 1,567.5 hectares of paddy fields. This regulation aims to support food sovereignty and maintain the ecological balance of the environment. The problem arises because the paddy fields designated by LP2B are private land so that not all owners are willing to implement this policy.
