Abstract

In general, agriculture is a neutral sector in a country. In this case, many countries rely on the agricultural sector, where agriculture is the primary production in economic development, often referred to as agrarian countries. The main objective of agricultural policy is to maintain agricultural production by achieving economic benefits compatible with poverty reduction as a final reaction to meet the population's social needs with the least possible impact. Seeing the problems and opportunities in the agricultural sector that also have socio-political impacts, this research is vital to understanding the implications and implementation of agricultural policies. This research uses a bibliometric analysis method to see the research development with the keyword "agriculture policy" on Google Scholar search with a vulnerable time in 2020-2023, which produces data for as many as 155 articles. The results show that the publication trend regarding "agriculture policy" has critical players who are relevantly attracting scientists to study by looking at the trend of keywords that most often come out, making discussions about agricultural policy a form of literature that can be a reference or consideration in policy making. Thus, food policy research must also continue to be carried out to obtain new knowledge as a reference in advancing agriculture in the scope of science.

Abstract

This article discusses the existence of peasants during three eras with different powers. During the Dutch and the Japanese colonialism, it can be said that peasant is a profession that must be avoided because it will become an object of exploitation by those in power. During Dutch rule in Indonesia, the policies that exploited peasants were ‘culturstelseel’ (the forced planting system) and the 1870 Agrarian Law. These two policies made peasants even more impoverished, the lands that formerly owned peasants were forcibly taken away to plant commodities that were in demand on the world market and the profits went into their pockets ruler. During the Japanese colonialism, an obligation to produce rice made peasants increasingly tormented because they had to pursue predetermined targets. During The independence, the peasants were embraced by political parties until they were transformed into mass organizations. Although there has been some progress in the national agrarian political agenda, differences in ideology and interests have resulted in conflicts and struggles between peasant mass organizations, and even with civil society.

Abstract

Abstrak Meningkatnya pemberitaan mengenai konflik agraria dan protes petani di Indonesia menunjukkan Pulau Sumatera dan Kalimantan merupakan wilayah yang rawan konflik lahan antara petani dan perusahaan perkebunan, khususnya perkebunan kelapa sawit . Petani Persil IV merupakan sebuah komunitas Petani yang ada di Tanjung Morawa tepatnya di Kecamatan Sinembah Tanjung Muda Hilir Kabupaten Deli Serdang. Petani Persil IV merupakan wujud persatuan petani yang mengalami konflik agraria dengan PTPN II yang ada di Deli Serdang. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana penerapan budaya rimbo dan buruh borong sebagai bentuk perlawanan Petani di perkebunan di Desa Tadukan Raga, Kecamatan Sinembah Tanjung Muda Hilir terhadap perusahaan perkebunan PTPN II. Metode penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Kasus konflik yang dialami Petani Persil IV dan Perusahaan PTPN ini dianalisis menggunakan teori konflik dahrendorf. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kasus petani Persil IV ini tidak terjadi konsensus antara petani persil IV dengan PTPN II karena masih adanya campur tangan pemerintah sebagai pemantik konflik tersebut. Dampak negatif yang diakibatkan dari konflik tersebut adalah masyarakat Persil IV menjadi lebih tertutup dari masyarakat luar. Hal ini terlihat dari salah satu bentuk budaya masyarakat perkebunan Petani Persil IV yakni memilih buruh borongan dari daerah mereka saja, dan seolah-olah ada ketakutan dari masyarakat tersebut terhadap masyarakat luar. Kata Kunci: Budaya Rimbo, Buruh Borong ,Konflik, Petani Persil IV, PTPN

Abstract

Food security can be defined as the availability of food in sufficient quantity and quality, distributed at affordable prices and safe for consumption for people to be able to carry out daily activities all the time. Food security cannot be separated from the role of women. Women are involved in production activities (on farm), processing and distribution of food. Women not only produce food, but are also the main person responsible for the nutritional needs of all family members. By nature, women, whether they act as housewives or heads of families, are the first to have a strategic role in selecting food ingredients, managing them, even processing and serving them to their household members. Women not only process food, but also must participate in the agricultural production process to ensure economic access to food. The gender gap in women's roles in agriculture disadvantages them in several ways.

Abstract

This research explores Peasants’ social challenges in Indonesia and UNDROP's response to these challenges. Challenges include limited access to resources and land, agrarian conflict, difficulty accessing adequate seeds, and economic uncertainty. UNDROP provides a vital framework to fight for Peasants’ rights, emphasizing land, seed, and food rights. A qualitative research method was used using the UNDROP perspective. Data was collected through primary and secondary sources and analyzed using data reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing methods. The results show the need for more vigorous law enforcement and better protection of Peasants’ rights. Efforts to address Peasants’ social challenges include the implementation of the Peasant Protection and Empowerment Act, providing financial and technical support, and implementing UNDROP by the government and various relevant parties. This study concludes that collaboration between the government, Peasant organizations, NGOs, and the international community is crucial in ensuring the protection and welfare of Peasants. Implementing UNDROP is crucial in ensuring Peasants’ rights are protected. This research contributes significantly to understanding the social challenges Peasants face in Indonesia and the efforts that can be made to address these challenges effectively.

Abstract

During the International Land Grabbing Conference 2024 in Colombia, the authors had the opportunity to visit two sites of agrarian reform struggle in the Department of Cundinamarca, where efforts to curb land grabbing are being implemented: the San Joaquín Farm in the municipality of Puerto Salgar, and the Zona Reservo Campesino in the municipality of Venecia. Given the long-standing history of agrarian issues in Colombia and the hopeful political will of the current Colombian president, it is intriguing to discuss the authors' findings from this field visit to understand the achievements in the implementation of agrarian reform in Colombia, as well as the challenges faced in resolving agrarian issues confronted by farmers and rural communities. Based on observations, it is evident that the success of agrarian reform implementation relies on the political will of the government and efforts to involve farmer organizations, as well as addressing policy barriers. A state-centered approach, with the involvement of social actors such as farmer organizations and NGOs, can overcome structural and institutional obstacles. Furthermore, sustainable livelihoods for farmers must be prioritized, considering the cultural and historical context of the farmers and the need for balanced resource management with a subjective approach to agricultural organization, which can facilitate farmer regeneration and the success of agrarian reform in Colombia.
