Excerpt:
Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sudaryono is ramping up efforts to promote the urban farming concept through the Sustainable Food House Area program.
In collaboration with the Village Ministry, the program aims to empower communities to meet their food and nutrition needs by farming and raising livestock in their own yards, even in urban areas.
“There is a village fund allocation in the Village Ministry, where 20 percent is earmarked for food security initiatives. We hope this 20 percent will support the program,” Sudaryono said during an interview on the “Beritasatu Special” program on BTV on Monday. The Ministry has been allocated Rp 2.3 trillion in the 2025 State Budget.
Sudaryono explained that the Sustainable Food House program enables communities to use the land around their homes for farming and raising animals. This could include planting vegetables, herbs, and fruits, or raising chickens and goats. He said that urban farming can be done even in cities, using hydroponics gardening or growing crops in gutters.
