Statement by President SBY in the plenum Conference-3 to the Board of Food in the Palace of Bogor in 2006 greatly relieve
ago. Start from pengukuhan doctorate in
agricultural economics IPB, pencanangan revitalization of
agriculture, fishery and forestry (RPPK), to a conference doctorate Honoris Causa (HC) with the theme of "Sustainable Agriculture Systems" from the University, September 2005. Farmers not only faced the fact that ownership of land, the more narrow, they face the facts the more lack access to inputs, transaction costs, which continues to rebound, and economic institutions that did not stand up for farmers. More distressing, the agricultural sector continues dikeroyok, dijerumuskan, diperdaya, even destroyed the systemic (systemic destruction) both on the farm, off farm, and industrial and services sector by supporting the direct ditopangnya. Result, the performance of the agricultural sector continues terpuruk and become less interesting for the public and the business world to put out the future and because the business risk that must not be compared with the proportional profit opportunities and benefits that can be received. Program increased competitiveness, increased production of farmers, and farmers' welfare always buzzed, but at the same time degradation of land resources, water, and climate, the effects of forest clearing and poor implementation of the layout due to strong inter-capitalist / argument with the official source of foreign exchange, continued take non-intervention. Degradation in the production system, such as the fragmentation of production and distribution of agricultural inputs, support nihilnya bank, dicabutnya subsidies, scarcity of fertilizer to the bersubsidi still rare at this time, its focus is not planning the agricultural sector, liberalization kebablasan, and not bersenyawanya education institutions and research with farmers, make various efforts futile. For agriculture, there are four policies: public policy and spatial land agriculture, rural infrastructure development, food security, trade and agricultural products. Cukupkah fund the new DAK? Unfortunately, not only the four policies is not enough to revitalize and restore agriculture in a respectable position, but also does not have a breakthrough that truly make us a new, confident that this is not just rhetoric. Green Revolution system more torment farmers must truly be a stranglehold by SBY learn from the experience with the implementation of sustainable agriculture.
