Abstract: | Food security sought by the government should not conflict with the rights of the farmers to farm as they wish. Driven by the necessity of fulfilling food needs on a national scale, farmers may be required to do things that actually undermine their independence in farming. Buying superior seeds, fertilizing and spraying pesticides, these things make farmers dependent on corporations. Moreover, those practices can have negative effects on the environment. Nevertheless, there are serious targets for food production. Better biosecurity will assist in gaining food security while not abandoning the objective of achieving food sovereignty for Indonesia. Ketahanan pangan yang diupayakan pemerintah semestinya tidak bertabrakan dengan hak petani untuk berdaulat. Petani, karena dikejar oleh keharusan terpenuhinya kebutuhan pangan dalam skala nasional, lalu dituntut untuk melakukan hal-hal yang sebenarnya mencabut kemerdekaan mereka dalam bertani. Membeli bibit unggul, melakukan pemupukan dan penyemprotan pestisida, hal-hal tersebut menjadikan petani bergantung kepada korporasi. Bahkan sering memberi dampak buruk pada lingkungan. Namun memang ada target produksi pangan yang harus dicapai dengan serius. Maka upaya-upaya dalam ketahanan pangan seyogyanya tidak mengabaikan ketahanan hayati dan tidak meninggalakan kedaulatan pangan. |
