Summary: | Destruction of the earth and global climate change has now become a painful reality. Excessive exploitation of natural resources up to 1.7 times beyond the earth’s carrying capacity and contrary to nature-based development makes the dark future earth. Our earth, which is 4.5 billion years old, has been inhabited by around 7.3 billion people. The present and future population explosion require a giant leap to provide sufficient food to sustain life on earth. Lack of food, water, and energy supplies has triggered new widespread conflicts throughout the world. Located in tropical ecosystems, Indonesia is one of the megadiverse nations with the highest biological productivity in the world. However, these advantages are coming with a significant challenge. Having all of those natural potentials, Indonesia holds a crucial responsibility in global life cycle equilibration, not only in terms of environmental issues, such as climate change and biodiversity, but also a socio-economy-cultural issue. Therefore, balance management is needed to utilize the resources while preserving them for generations ahead wisely. Moreover, the challenge is even more significant with the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit the all-economy sector in the real world. In combination with the COVID-19 pandemic, global climate change could somehow obstruct the food sovereignty program that the Indonesian government has formulated. However, with solid food security and sovereignty system integrated from upstream to downstream, Indonesia could build a strong foundation for national food sovereignty. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. |
