The Effects of Paddy Field Conversion for Rural Community

Talking about rural community, we will deal with the rural area. In a rural area we usually can find some wide land such as paddy field. However, in this day the presence of that kind of land in rural area is declining. The cause of that problem is paddy field conversion to be residential or industry areas which is considered giving some bad effects to rural community such as the loss of the job and the lack of food stability.

The first negative effect of paddy field conversion for rural community is the loss of the job. As we know, mostly rural community only has good ability in agricultural field. They do not capable enough on the other field of jobs. Thus, when the existence of paddy field becomes narrower the rural community will face a big problem namely, losing their main job.

The second negative effect of field conversion for rural community is the lack of food stability. Since the staple food of Indonesian people is rice so when the paddy field is getting narrower, not only the rural community in Indonesia will face that problem but also all the communities in Indonesia will face the same problem.

                Therefore, the conversion of paddy field program should be banned. Since that program will be able to cause some effects for the rural community itself and the other communities such as the loss of the job and the lack of food stability.
