Food issues are crucial today, with the focus on food security, self-sufficiency, and food safety. Food production is often limited by our ability to increase production. One aspect of maximizing food production is land. Land is a significant determinant of sustainable food production. This study aims to analyze land production factors, including land area, which in turn determines consistent and sustainable food production. Traditionally, food management is carried out by farmers, referred to in this analysis as farming households. Current food productivity by farmers can be considered commercial or subsistence. The current increase in local food demand is determined by the stability of local food production. Consistent food production naturally impacts current food prices. Food produced by farming households on large or small plots of land is also influenced by many factors. The dynamic nature of local food production discussed in this study focuses more on the influence of land area on local food production. The increasing demand for local food is a crucial factor in increasing local food production, making farming households a crucial agent in increasing food production to meet community needs.
