Author(s): Rahayu Subekti, Purwono Sungkowo Raharjo, Waluyo

The purpose of this study was to determine the actuality of the pawning of just agricultural land in the community to achieve food security. As we all know land pawning is a right to land whose existence will be removed, but in reality, pawning of agricultural land is still used by the community to meet the needs of life that is easy, fast, and straightforward and does not pay interest. The research method used is empirical, with a descriptive approach. The results of the research are that pawning agricultural land which was originally intended to meet the needs of life has changed, namely to meet economic needs, among others, to expand agricultural land, for the cost of looking for work etc. The absence of comprehensive regulations regarding the pawning of agricultural land means that the community still uses customary law and is based on belief, although there are also those who use the written form to anticipate conflicts in the future. It is necessary to carry out a comprehensive reformulation of the pawning of agricultural land so that legal objectives will be realized, namely legal certainty, justice and benefit.
