Gradually, there has been a development in agricultural activities in the area, marked by an increase in agricultural area as well as agricultural production that led to a change in land cover in the region. A descriptive study was conducted with aim to determine the relationship between the development of agricultural activities and the increase in agricultural production with land cover changes in the upstream Jeneberang watershed. This understanding is expected to help create a more environmentally friendly agricultural environment so that it can be more sustainable. This research shows that the development of plantation crops had contributed to land cover change, due to expansion of human activities in agriculture into the forest area, thus the primary forest then turned into secondary forest. The development of agricultural activities was partly attributed to the higher selling price of agricultural products. It makes farmers excited to increase their production, including by expanding the area for planting crops that have high selling value. ## Keywords - Agriculture - Watershed - Agricultural land - Agricultural productivity - Land cover - Agroforestry - Land use - Sustainable development - Land development - Geography - Agricultural economics - Environmental science - Ecology - Economics - Archaeology - Computer science - Machine learning - Biology --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
