Krisis Ketahanan Pangan Penyebab Ketergantungan Impor Tanaman Pangan di Indonesia

Abstract

The crisis of food availability is a problem that often occurs in Indonesia, especially related to rice imports. This is caused by several factors, such as high population growth, decreased agricultural productivity, and changes in people's consumption patterns. Rice imports are the most feasible solution to meet domestic rice needs, but this has an impact on food dependence and the powerlessness of the national economy. In relation to the food security crisis in Indonesia, many aspects need to be considered. These factors include: rapid population growth, decreased agricultural productivity, changes in people's consumption patterns, and low investment in the agricultural sector. Increasing rice imports is the most feasible solution to meet domestic demand for rice. However, this has led to food dependence and the powerlessness of the national economy. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to increase agricultural productivity, reduce dependence on rice imports, and develop the agricultural sector in a sustainable manner. This needs to be supported by various government policies, such as incentives for farmers, development of agricultural technology, and promotion of local rice consumption. These efforts include increasing agricultural productivity, developing environmentally friendly agricultural technology, reducing rice imports, and consuming local rice.
