Agricultural innovation drives food security in Indonesia

Agricultural initiatives in Indonesia are focusing on optimizing land use and improving efficiency through technology and community-based movements. In Tulungagung, East Java, farmers are utilizing sprayer systems for shallot cultivation to ensure even water distribution and maintain soil moisture during the dry season.

In Yogyakarta, the Dinas Pertanian dan Ketahanan Pangan (DPKP) DIY is promoting the 'Lumbung Mataraman' movement to transform limited spaces, such as home yards and uncultivated land, into productive food sources. The Gebyar Inovasi Lumbung Mataraman 2026 event in Kulonprogo showcased innovations from various villages and women's farming groups, emphasizing the integration of crops with livestock and fisheries to maximize local potential.
