Abstract—This study aims to analyze the changes and potential of agricultural land within a period of 5 years to develop a beef cattle business in the Kediri City using the concept of urban agriculture which is adapted to local regulations based on land mapping and baseline scenarios. The results of this study were changed in the function of agricultural land in 2014 and 2019 due to the addition of dry land area and reduction of paddy fields based on the results of overlayed mapping of agricultural land in 2014 and 2019. In this land suitability mapping, Kediri City was very suitable for rice fields and dry fields and deserves to be developed except in the area around the mountains in Mojoroto Sub-District. The land carrying capacity of rice straw and corn straw were very low at the assumptions of taking 20%, 35%, and 50% and does not meet the needs of beef cattle feed with the overall carrying capacity index criterion value was < 1. Utilization of agricultural land for beef cattle business development results in perceptions of feed processing equipment, business costs, economy, rat pests, waste products, laws and regulations, urban forests, business permits, other industries, food security, laboratories, agricultural land, employment opportunities, animal feed, development, government, protection, farmers and breeders, beef cattle farm, and farm pollution. I. INTRODUCTION The high population rate in urban areas causes various kinds of environmental problems, especially the agricultural environment, ranging from land conversion to environmental quality degradation due to pollution and waste. Land is a strategic natural resource for development where almost all physical development sectors require land, such as the agriculture, forestry, housing and other sectors, as well as the largest producer of food needed by humans and the producer of agricultural waste as forage for livestock that needs to be available protection from government regulations and policies. This can be improved by implementing urban farming. Urban farming is an activity oriented towards the growth, processing, and distribution of food and other products through intensive cultivation of crops and livestock in urban areas and the reuse of natural resources and urban waste to obtain a variety of crops and livestock (Food and Agriculture Organization, 2008). Urban farming can be done by means of an integrated urban farming system that integrates agriculture and livestock in urban areas whose results can be optimized as household food production (Agus, 2020). This also requires land use management so that the integration of agricultural and animal husbandry land can run smoothly, land use management is very important because of its important
