Another key aspect is the need for policies that promote sustainable agriculture practices, such as agroecology and climate-smart farming. These approaches can not only enhance food production but also contribute to environmental sustainability and resilience to climate change (Nuryanah et al., 2021).
In conclusion, the flaws of the Food Estate program in addressing Indonesia's food security challenges highlight the need for a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to agricultural development. By adopting a multi-pronged strategy that addresses the systemic issues in the sector, Indonesia can move closer to its goal of achieving sustainable food self-sufficiency.
Ultimately, the success of Indonesia's food security efforts will depend on a multifaceted strategy that addresses the complex challenges facing the agricultural sector. The issues of food insecurity and the inability of the Food Estate program to address them highlight the need for a more holistic and sustainable approach to agricultural development in Indonesia.
The Food Estate program's shortcomings in addressing Indonesia's food security challenges underscore the need for a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to agricultural development. Indonesia's food security efforts must focus on addressing the systemic challenges in the agricultural sector, such as low productivity, lack of infrastructure, and the shortage of skilled human resources (Daud et al., 2023) (Hakim et al., 2020) (Nuryanah et al., 2021).
By adopting a more balanced and integrated approach, Indonesia can address the underlying issues in the agricultural sector and move closer to achieving sustainable food self-sufficiency.
One key aspect that must be considered is the role of technology and innovation in improving agricultural productivity and efficiency. Investments in research and development, as well as the adoption of smart farming technologies, can play a crucial role in enhancing food production and distribution (Winarno et al., 2020).
Another important consideration is the need for policies that promote sustainable agriculture practices, such as agroecology and climate-smart farming. These approaches can not only enhance food production but also contribute to environmental sustainability and resilience to climate change (Nuryanah et al., 2021).
In conclusion, the flaws of the Food Estate program in addressing Indonesia's food security challenges highlight the need for a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to agricultural development.
