Thematic priority 2 of 5
Sustainable Agriculture, Fisheries, And Food Security
Theme overview
Village food supplies are insecure because they depend on outside supply and on a single crop vulnerable to extreme weather. Product value-added is low because post-harvest tools and technology are limited.
Aligned with: Presidential Regulation 66/2021 on the National Food Agency · Food system priorities of the 2025–2029 RPJMN (revitalizing local food and diversifying agriculture)
