Abstract

This paper, departing from the results of preliminary research conducted since the end of 2020, using a political-ecological perspective will explain the dynamics of farmers to control land in areas that are included in the 'forest area' in Kawa-san Mount Kaledong ( West Java) and the dynamics of changing land use in the area – from tension to 'cooperation'. In addition, this paper will also explain the forms or patterns of farming/production systems that take place due to the development of the value of coffee commodities. The first proposition departs from the argument that the dynamics of access to tenure and land cultivation have consequences on production relations and social organization of production (planting system) where the choice of commodity is a determining factor in these dynamics. The second proposition is that coffee has a high economic value, although it opens up opportunities for farmers to cultivate a number of lands within the 'forest area', leaving farmers involved in farming without the freedom to manage all factors of production. So it can be said that they are not in a position as “independent farmers”, but only as small commodity producers, while the largest economic control lies with non-farmer actors.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the rising rate of agricultural land conversion and soil degradation, decreasing agricultural exchange rates, advancing technological and cultural development, and expanding innovations in planting mediums and farming approaches, have blurred the definition of a peasant. Does the same phenomenon happen worldwide? This paper aims to set the evolution of the definition of a peasant in Indonesia globally. This study departed from the constructivism paradigm, which used a hermeneutics approach and literature study method. More than 50 literature from the past century were studied. We found that in Indonesia, the definition of the peasant has not been strongly justified from many perspectives (experts, institutions, communities), which created disparities in space and time contexts. While peasant’s global definition tends to be constant as it acts as the centre of the proposition just like other professions. Diversities in commodities, planting systems, and the bargaining position of farming as economic activity caused the specification of peasant’s definition in Indonesia. Thus, the definition of the peasant is still “wild” without strong boundaries. As one of the former colonial countries, Indonesia cannot be separated from its colonial inheritance, which affected the media and corporations. We conclude that the reconstruction of peasants’ definitions and praxis becomes a necessity because the biases of the paradigm and characteristics of peasants have made peasants lose their autonomy, sustainability and sense of humanity (humanism). The definition of peasant is not limited to space and land occupied, it has not been agreed upon as a profession and the label is used openly.
