Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed vulnerabilities in Indonesia’s complex food systems that threaten food security (including vegetables) in Indonesia. These vulnerabilities are mainly seen in the value chain’s logistics and long distribution process that got highly impacted by lockdown policy. As a result, there is an uneven surplus and shortage of products in areas over Indonesia. The consumers experienced limited food access. A longer value chain also results in higher carbon emissions that are exacerbating climate change. This study aims to find a more sustainable and resilient food system. Based on the literature review we found that urban areas in Indonesia can adopt a concept of a local food system that was designed to shorten the growing gap between producer and consumer called Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). CSA has a basic system where members pay a sum of money (subscription) upfront that supports the farm operation. We tested the CSA using participatory action research in three urban areas in Greater Jakarta. The communities adopted aquaponics and hydroponic cultivated in their areas, and the membership is open for the residents within the farm’s region. The members become ‘part’ of farmer-producer cooperation based on a ‘fair-income for the farmer’ principle. We found the creation of a community farm creates a local food source and new job opportunities for young farmers.
