Abstract: The massive paddy wetland conversion is a risk that will lead Indonesia to face the staple food crisis and place the country dependent upon exported food. The research aims to prioritize Land Conversion Risk (LCR) mitigation by identifying risk event and agent. The research was conducted June-September 2016. The qualitative approach succeeded to explore the potential risk event, risk agent and mitigation strategy. Similarly, the quantitative approach has succeeded to measure severity level of risk event, occurrence of risk agent and its impact to the severity of LCR. By HOR-1 analysis, the research revealed two major agents of LCR included the agri-land has become a commodity and the absence of land price control. In the light of HOR-2, the priority of mitigation is to control the increase of agri-land price and to guarantee the staple food procurement cost. For this mitigation in Sharia agribusiness perspective, the state owned land should be placed as the main rice production center.
