<![CDATA[The essence of administering the state is ensuring the survival of the nation and state within the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, so the implementation of state defense is organized in a universal defense system involving all citizens, territories and other national resources that are prepared early. by the government and carried out in a total, integrated, directed and continuous manner to uphold state sovereignty, territorial sovereignty and the safety of the entire nation from all threats. The Universal People's Defense System is basically an embodiment of the deployment of the totality of national potential and resources against forces that threaten the survival of the nation. This condition is a common condition that occurs in any nation when the survival of that nation is threatened. During the war for independence, all natural resources, one of which was food potential, made a very large contribution to support the implementation of national defense.In dealing with military threats, the national defense system places the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) as the Main Component, supported by reserve components and supporting components. Meanwhile, in dealing with non-military threats, ministries/agencies other than the defense sector are placed as the main element, in accordance with the form and nature of the threats faced, supported by other elements of national strength. In order to build preparedness of natural and man-made resources which directly or indirectly increase the strength and capability of the Main Components and Reserve Components of the Ministry of Defense as the leading sector in the logistics sector for national defense areas, carry out the development of the Food Estate program which examines several potential land locations for planting strategic commodities. The plan to develop the "Food Estate" area in Central Kalimantan launched by the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo is a collaboration between the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of PUPR, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Ministry of BUMN. The Ministry of Defense has also carried out a pilot project to prepare regional logistics as a food supply reserve by planting sorghum as an alternative food ingredient in the border area of ??East Nusa Tenggara, namely in Belu Regency, Tulakadi Village, East Tasifeto District, Belu Regency. The research method uses descriptive qualitative. The results of the study show that the strength of food security is no less important than the strength of weapons, especially in dealing with military threats and boosting the regional economy. For this reason, Indonesia must have sufficient food reserves in the framework of regional logistics and regional economic development.]]>
