Journal Title: GATR Global Journal of Business & Social Science Review - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective – The objective of this study is to identify the food security characteristics in local communities at Napan Village, Nusa Tenggara Timur Indonesia and to study the implementation of agrarian reform principles covering asset reform and access reform, in achieving food sustainability. Methodology/Technique – The method used is a normative judicial method. The data is analysed through qualitative judicial means, supported by Focus Group Discussion, to obtain primary qualitative data. Findings – The results show that synchronization of agrarian reform programs, including asset reform with “Food Intensification Program” along with “Social Forestry Program”, reinforce farmers’ rights over their farmlands and assure farmland tenure and ownership. The approach of “access reform” by means of the “Food Intensification Program”, integrated with government intervention, might serve as the base for achieving the inclusivity and continuity of food sustainability in Napan Novelty – This study highlights the need for central and local governments to accelerate food production in underdeveloped regions through asset and access reform programs. Land Certification, Social Forestry Program, and the Food Intensification Program can all be implemented to strengthen farmers’ land rights as well as their productivity.
