Abstract

The body of literature on environmental studies suggest that sustainability in agricultural sector is not only a matter of technical agricultural management, but also the ideas, norms, or values that farmers hold, including those from religion. This cannot hold true more than the Indonesia context of religious society. Indonesia is an agricultural country where most of the population’s livelihood is agriculture, as demonstrated by the fact that 37.5% of the total land area is used for farming. Through an empirical study in Blora, Central Java, this article aims to examine and identify the norms, practices, and motivations of faith-based organic farming by Nahdlatul Ulama Agriculture Development Institute (LPPNU) Blora in promoting environmental and food sustainability. This study is based on a qualitative study using the theories of lived religion and religious creativity. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 individuals, including spiritual leaders, NU administrators, and NU organic farmers, and participant observation for three months. This article has two main findings. First, the religious norms and practices developed by LPPNU in organic farming in Blora express the principles of worship, stewardship of the earth, compassion for nature, self-reliance, and sustainability by making nutrient-rich organic matter fertilizer. Secondly, the primary motivations for farmers to switch to organic are personal health, soil health, and religiosity. Other motivations are influenced by institutional authority and religious reasons.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has hundreds of indigenous peoples scattered throughout the archipelago, who still survive with their customs and traditions. One of them is the samin indigenous people from Dukuh Karangpace, Klopoduwur Village, Blora Regency, Central Java. The indigenous Samin people were described as ignorant, unwilling to pay taxes, and refused forced labor by the Dutch colonists. The Samin traditional community is considered strange and also considered to reject technological advances. There are several problems in Indonesian society, especially Indonesian government officials. Such as public lying, corruption, illegal levies, bribes, legal mafia cases involving law enforcement officials, and state officials in making decisions that only benefit certain groups, and so on. From this problem, this paper will use an indigenous religion paradigm approach and local wisdom to see the true nature of Samin's teachings. the author uses a type of library research that is included in qualitative research. The result of the interim conclusion of this paper is that the author argues that the teachings of samin are very relevant if applied to society in general and the government in particular, there are three main points of Samin teachings including the understanding of the Samin indigenous people with the creator, living environment and people, so it can be concluded that the negative stigma of the assumption to the Samin indigenous people is considered inappropriate and the samin teachings are very relevant if actualized as a reference in Indonesian society and government. Keywords: Samin indigenous people, Government, Indigenous religion paradigm.AbstrakIndonesia adalah negara yang memiliki ratusan masyarakat adat yang tersebar di seluruh nusantara, yang masih bertahan dengan adat dan tradisinya. Salah satunya adalah masyarakat adat samin dari Dukuh Karangpace, Desa Klopoduwur, Kabupaten Blora, Jawa Tengah. Orang asli Samin digambarkan sebagai orang yang cuek, tidak mau membayar pajak, dan menolak kerja paksa oleh penjajah Belanda. Masyarakat adat Samin dianggap aneh dan juga dianggap menolak kemajuan teknologi. Ada beberapa masalah dalam masyarakat Indonesia, khususnya pejabat pemerintah Indonesia. Seperti pembohongan publik, korupsi, pungutan liar, suap, kasus mafia hukum yang melibatkan aparat penegak hukum, dan penyelenggara negara dalam pengambilan keputusan yang hanya menguntungkan kelompok tertentu, dan sebagainya. Dari permasalahan tersebut, tulisan ini akan menggunakan pendekatan paradigma agama leluhur dan kearifan lokal untuk melihat hakikat ajaran Samin. penulis menggunakan jenis penelitian kepustakaan yang termasuk dalam penelitian kualitatif. Hasil kesimpulan sementara dari tulisan ini adalah penulis berpendapat bahwa ajaran samin sangat relevan jika diterapkan pada masyarakat pada umumnya dan pemerintah pada khususnya, ada tiga pokok utama ajaran samin diantaranya adalah pengertian masyarakat adat samin dengan pencipta, lingkungan hidup dan manusia, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa stigma negatif anggapan terhadap masyarakat adat Samin dianggap kurang tepat dan ajaran samin sangat relevan jika diaktualisasikan sebagai acuan dalam masyarakat dan pemerintahan Indonesia.Kata kunci: Masyarakat adat Samin, Pemerintah, Paradigma agama adat.
