Abstract


The demand for rice is increasing due to the rapid growth in the world's population, including people in Malaysia, causing a severe threat to the supply of food security. To meet future rice demand, the National Agro-Food Policy 2021-2030 (NAP 2.0) advocated for increased local rice production. This study set out to identify the causes of changes in land use, with a special focus on paddy in Malaysia. 31 finalized articles from Scopus database were chosen based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Four main themes were elaborated: (1) urbanization, (2) population expansion, (3) industrialization and (4) environmental values. This review shows that paddy fields are converted to non-agricultural land, agricultural output can be negatively impacted, which might have long-term effects on the nation's food security. Within the scope of this review,
we suggest that further research is important to give information for land owner to maintain their paddy field. However, to sustain the paddy field and ensure sustainable paddy production in Malaysia to fulfill future population
needs required cooperation among researcher, stakeholder and policy maker. This review shows the limiation of research and offer the interesting guidelines to sustain the paddy land-use in Malaysia.
