We need to do this because we have to press local planting system to have government support. It will have a great effect to the food security and food sovereignty. We have to push government to understand that farming is an essential asset for our country. We can do this by pressing the government to stop investment in the plantation areas or joining international organization that has concern on this issue. If we can do it, farmer image as good profession will be restored.
As a final point, holding food power means holding world power It needs our hand and contribution, by our voices and actions. Then we will never hear again the cry of starved people in our lovely world.
