Abstract

The Indonesian government has issued agrarian reform policies to improve peasants' access to their means of production, particularly land, and reduce land inequality. Agrarian reform is carried out with asset legalization, land redistribution and social forestry. One of the things that may be highlighted is the struggle to encourage the implementation of UNDROP has not been fully supported by social movements in Indonesia in large numbers. The formulation of UNDROP does not occur at one particular moment, but through a process of discussion that takes place for several years before the finalization stage and is brought to the international space. This conference was a moment for UNDROP where it endorsed UNDROP as an international struggle of LVC and produced the Declaration on the Rights of Peasant – Women and Men. When the food crisis occurred, the LVC explained before the United Nations that the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of peasants could be the basis for solutions to discrimination against peasants and the food crisis. In the context of policy, the Government of Indonesia still tends to focus on policies that encourage economic growth through the withdrawal of investment and free trade.

The descriptive qualitative method was employed in this study. The findings revealed that Karo Regency Agriculture Service's execution of empowerment horticultural Peasants following Mount Sinabung's eruption was still not optimal due to a number of circumstances.

Abstract

The Pandumaan-Sipituhuta indigenous peoples' social movements and disputes in defending their customary forest rights were impacted by the government's lack of transparency in identifying and determining concession rights, which resulted in a unilateral claim to the community's customary forest. This is the context for the Pandumaan-Sipituhuta indigenous community's social movement, which began in 2009, to achieve recognition and reclaim rights to their customary forest. A qualitative research method with descriptive-qualitative analysis was adopted. According to the study's findings, the community used a variety of techniques in their social movements, including warning letters, confiscation and burning of company equipment, rallies, and road closures. In addition to carrying out their movement actions, the community holds frequent deliberations in which all levels of society are involved to facilitate decision-making in their movement actions. Conflicts and obstacles confronting the community include the government's tardy response, which results in the community taking a long time to attain success. Finally, in February 2022, the community was legally recognized as a customary law community by the Humbang Hasundutan District Regulation Number 3 of 2019, and their rights to their customary forest were restored.
