The methodology of this study uses the design of data analysis studies collected through a descriptive approach with a combination of qualitative approaches and analyzes texts documents such as official reports, circulars, annual reports, department reports, financial plans, agency reports, and transcript. The findings show that the source of Islamic agricultural legislation is to abolish dharar, highlight the concept of al-falah wa al-khusran, create the concept of al-khalifah, avoid all forms of al-israf wastage, emphasizes the concept of awlawiyah in improving food quality and national income, emphasizes the food nutrition and clean diet.
