The poor condition of agricultural land in Bali Province due to land conversion is a huge challenge in pursuing sustainable agriculture in Bali. Not to mention the problem of land quality which has the potential to decrease every year due to the use of non-organic material which is still accustomed to being used by farmers. The amount of water that has been declining due to global warming and is fought over by the tourism and housing sectors, poses additional challenges to the efforts of sustainable agriculture. The increase in water demand outside of agricultural activities can be seen from the increasing number of clean water customers from 390,306 people to 406,959 people in 2015 (BPS Bali Province, 2017).
The reduced agricultural land in Bali can also be seen from the impact on reducing rice production in Bali. BPS of the Province of Bali (2017) shows data that the production of lowland rice in Bali in 2015 reached 853,404 tons and 306 tons for field rice. This production decreased from 2014, which was down 0.47 percent for lowland rice and 38 percent for upland rice.
Various background problems lead to the need for a deeper study of the sustainability of agricultural land, especially paddy fields in the Province of Bali. Various dimensions that affect the conversion of agricultural land in Bali Province also need to be studied. Dimensions that can be assessed are physical / ecological, economic and socio-cultural / institutional dimensions. The results of the study are the beginning of the establishment of a model of sustainable agricultural land management over the conversion of agricultural land in the Province of Bali which will ultimately rely on the formulation of a sustainable agricultural policy strategy in overcoming the conversion of agricultural land in the Province of Bali.
