Abstract

Banten Province has 701,901 ha of agricultural land with a harvest area of 405,668 ha. The largest agricultural land area in Pandeglang Regency, while the smallest is South Tangerang City. The agricultural land is generally used for rice, but its productivity is still low. Therefore, to increase agricultural productivity, climate-based land optimization is carried out. In optimizing the land, an enterprise architecture planning method is used by integrating climate and land functions. The results of climate analysis, obtained a temperature range of 22.1-37.4oC and rainfall between 0-424 mm with the number of rainy days per year 176-177 rd. Temperature and rainfall conditions in all districts in Banten Province are suitable for improving agriculture. Furthermore, if it is viewed from the land area, Pandeglang and Lebak Regency is suitable to increase rice production. Meanwhile, other food crop production, from five types of food crops produced in Banten Province, which has the potential to be increased, namely corn plants. The ratio between harvested area and land area in Banten Province has only reached 60.15%. Therefore, productivity needs to be improved, because Banten Province has the right temperature and rainfall for agriculture.
