<![CDATA[The issue of Poverty that leads to food scarcity (hunger) has never occurred in the history of the Larat Tanimbar people. The determinant of food availability is guaranteed by a local adaptation system on Larat Island called Root Ralan. Root Ralan relates to two very basic aspects, namely: first: Simasali (cooperation), second: Duan Lolat's kinship system and third: traditional food storage system for farm produce. Simasali is a form of cooperation in opening new gardens to harvesting new garden products. Simasali is also internally a reinforcing force from various possible conflicts due to the consequences of rapid social change in this modern era. Duan Lolat implies 3 systems of social relations that show the kinship characteristics of the Larat Tanimbar people, namely: Yaan Warin, Ura Yanan and Kida Bela. The form and function of Root Ralan resembles 3 procedures for storing garden produce according to the form and purpose of storage. Root Ralan is also a reflection of the life system of the Larat Tanimbar people who continue to experience preservation in the midst of the challenges of modernity and globalization today.]]>
