What happened
Indonesia is pursuing national goals to achieve food self-sufficiency, which includes a presidential instruction to rehabilitate tertiary irrigation systems serving rice fields nationwide. Under the agenda of reducing reliance on imports, the government aims to stop importing garlic within three to four years, requiring 100,000 hectares of farmland to meet the goal. Separately, food safety concerns have led to food poisoning incidents in some schools, causing the suspension or decline of the free nutritious meals program in affected areas.
Why it matters
The government's push for self-sufficiency is driven by the need to secure reliable raw water for communities and farms. The successful execution of agricultural policies, including land use and subsidies, is seen as crucial for achieving these national food security goals.
