Food and Government; Study of Food Safety Issues in Indonesia
Abstract
The government has a role that can contribute negatively to the
emergence of food security problems. As in Sen's analysis,
undemocratic government is one of the causes of national food
insecurity. This statement uses the term Indonesian territory and
not the state of Indonesia, and uses the term famine event and not
a famine. This is because the biggest event occurred in the 1800s
and not on a national scale that Indonesia had several times of
famine. For this reason, it is important for state administrators to
ensure the availability and equitable distribution of food to
individuals. This realization must also include the availability of
food that is good in quality and quantity, safe, diverse, nutritious,
and affordable and does not conflict with religion, belief, and
community culture, and is sustainable.
