Abstract

This study explores the implementation of indigenous food strategies and the role of local wisdom in Papua’s food sovereignty, Indonesia. Papua, known for its rich cultural diversity and unique ecological environment, has long depended on indigenous food systems that are in harmony with nature. These food systems, embedded in local traditions and customs, offer valuable insights into sustainable food practices. By utilizing a qualitative research approach, this study primarily relies on library research and a comprehensive review of existing literature to examine the interconnections between indigenous food strategies, local knowledge, and food sovereignty. The research identifies key indigenous practices that support food security, such as the preservation of traditional crops, resource management, and community-based food systems. It further highlights how these practices have been influenced by local wisdom and their potential to enhance food sovereignty in Papua amidst global challenges like climate change and food insecurity. The findings suggest that integrating indigenous food strategies with modern agricultural practices could offer a sustainable path forward for achieving food sovereignty in Papua. Moreover, the study underscores the importance of preserving indigenous knowledge as a means to strengthen resilience and self-sufficiency in the region. This research contributes to a broader understanding of the role indigenous food systems play in ensuring food sovereignty, with implications for policy-making and sustainable development in Papua and beyond.

Abstract

This study explores the role of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy in enhancing the quality of higher education in Indonesia. The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of MBKM on student learning outcomes, university-industry collaboration, and the overall effectiveness of higher education institutions in meeting the demands of the labor market. The research adopts a qualitative approach through a literature review, analyzing various academic journals, government reports, and case studies related to MBKM's implementation from 2017 to 2022. Data were systematically collected from reliable sources, and thematic analysis was used to identify key trends and patterns related to MBKM’s effects on educational quality. The study finds that MBKM significantly improves student engagement, employability, and the relevance of academic programs by facilitating practical learning experiences such as internships and research projects. The policy has also fostered stronger university-industry partnerships, enhancing student access to industry insights and career opportunities. However, challenges such as curriculum adaptation, resource disparities, and faculty resistance hinder its full implementation, particularly in rural and under-resourced universities. In conclusion, MBKM has made a positive contribution to the quality of higher education in Indonesia, but further efforts are needed to address implementation barriers. The findings suggest that a targeted approach to resource distribution and faculty training is essential for maximizing the policy's potential. Future research should focus on assessing the long-term effects of MBKM on graduate success and institutional development, ensuring that all students benefit equally from the policy.
