PREFACE
It is a great honour for us to be the host of the 3rd International Conference on Food Security
and Sustainable Agriculture in the Tropics (FSSAT) on January 8th – 9th, 2021 at
Agriculture Faculty of Hasanuddin University, Makassar City of South Sulawesi Province,
Indonesia. This conference is a series of international scientific seminars held by the Faculty
of Agriculture, Universitas Hasanuddin, Makassar, Indonesia, which has been held annually
since 2017.
This conference was held as a forum for exchanging information on productivist paradigm in
Indonesian food policies to feed 260 million people targets the self-sufficiency of rice, sago,
corn, soybean, and meat production, including the infrastructure development such as dams,
irrigation channels building, and the expansion of paddy and sago fields in the Eastern
Indonesia. The unintended outcomes of these efforts are the marginalization of the local food
system and dispossession of the local communities from their land and food culture. As a
consequence, the human-environmental relationship has changed dramatically posing
calamitous disaster and slowly disappearing foodways through local wisdom in everyday life
of the local community. It also brings health issues due to the excessive use of chemical
agricultural inputs in production, and the increase of degenerative disease and obesity due the
unhealthy practices in the consumption level.
The International Conference on Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture in the Tropics
will be held every two years, the first in 2017, the second in 2019, and the third in 2021. The
covid-19 conditions that have hit the whole world have resulted in restrictions on activities to
reduce the spread of Covid-19 sufferers so that the conference model from the form of a live
conference has turned into a virtual conference.
The condition of the Covid-19 pandemic has raised concerns about food security throughout
the world, including Indonesia, through restrictions on community activities. Several things
have implications for the existence of Covid-19, including the occurrence of a very
significant supply chain disruption caused by a reduction in capacity to produce food, closing
transportation routes so that it will slow down the distribution of food from producers to
consumers. The inability of people to consume enough healthy and nutritious food will
reduce the immune system and increase disease risk. Thus ensuring an affordable food supply
chain is essential during the Covid-19 outbreak. To solve this problem globally, cooperation
is needed that involves scientists, academics, practitioners, professionals, governments,
entrepreneurs, and communities across countries. To build a network between stakeholders,
an international conference held by the Hasanuddin University Faculty of Agriculture in 2021
is important as a forum for building connectivity between researchers and/or research
institutions. At this conference, a multi-disciplinary approach based on the knowledge and
experience of scientists, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers will be brought together.
If the meeting cannot be held virtually, then solutions in dealing with the food crisis during
the Covid-19 pandemic will not find a way out and add to the length of the crisis period
chain.

Abstract. Seedling-system transformation has been gradually shifted the seed authority
management from farmer and breeder to multinational companies. This circumstance should be
balanced with farmer capability in producing seeds independently to prevent capitalization.
Thus, the Ministry of Agriculture has declared the seed self-reliance villages as a community-
based program to face those challenges. This study aimed to evaluate the importance of
institutional strengthening through the seed self-reliance villages program to improve food
security and increase farmer welfare. This research was conducted based on the survey method
and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) at five districts (Kendal, Boyolali, Tegal, Klaten, and
Sragen) in Central Java. A survey through informal interview involved 30 representative
participants from farmer groups of each district, while the FGD was performed through in-depth
discussion with 22 participants, including farmers, extension or agricultural officers, and other
related stakeholders. The result showed that global agreement obstructs the community-based
seedling system, particularly in breeding and certification. A community-based rice seedling
institution threatened to quit due to asymmetric interaction between the actors. Moreover, this
seedling institution should be strengthened in the technological aspect and property right
management. In the end, the government's role as a facilitator is critical in this community-based
seedling institution, especially in capital aspects.
1. Introduction
The seed has a vital position and substantial control in the food system. However, the seedling system
had transformed gradually in the first half of the 20th century. The major transformation was about
authority management, which initially handled by farmers and breeders become shifted to multinational
companies [1,2]. This condition should be balanced with farmer capability in producing seed
independently to avoid company capitalism.
Through the Ministry of Agriculture, the Indonesian government has declared a seedling policy
designed in several programs to protect farmers. The seed self-reliance villages program is one of the
community-based seedling programs implemented since 2015 in 31 provinces of Indonesia, one of these
provinces is Central Java. This program is an informal seedling management system that collectively
produces and sells qualified seeds to ensure seed availability in agricultural communities or farmer
groups.
Unfortunately, the implementation program of seed self-reliance villages has not yet been worked as
expected. The problems are incredibly complex, not only in technical but also in economic and socio-
culture aspects [3]. This program is associated with rural development as a whole. Therefore, the
institutional aspect is one of the critical aspects that must be handled properly to sustain the program.
This study was determined to evaluate the seed self-reliance villages program's performance in
Central Java and the importance of institutional strengthening in supporting food security and farmer
welfare. The study's focus was rice seeds considering that rice is the primary staple food in Indonesia,
and the provision of rice seeds would support food security.
2. Methods
The community-based seedling concept implemented in this study refers to the Consortium for
Unfavorable Rice Environment (CURE) program. However, there was a little modification in the crop
selection and certification process. This program arranges the informal seedling system in an agricultural
community or farmer group that collectively produced and sold good quality seeds to ensure seed
availability at the right time and in the right place. On the other hand, the institutional strengthening
method was carried out through the Field School Farmer (FFS) approach, a non-formal learning process
to develop farmer skill and knowledge in recognizing the potency, arranging the business plans,
identifying and solving problems, making a decision, applying appropriate technology synergistically
and environmentally friendly to achieve high productivity and sustainable farming [4].
This study was conducted in 2015-2019 at five Central Java districts, namely Kendal, Tegal,
Boyolali, Sragen, and Klaten. Evaluation of the program performance and its institutional strengthening
efficiency was determined based on periodic survey method and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The
survey involved about 30 participants, which were farmer groups representative from each district.
Detailed information on seed production and distribution, technology application, seedling management,
and socio-economics conditions were collected through an informal interview during the survey.
Meanwhile, there were 22 participants representatives from each district, including farmers, agricultural
service officers, extension agents, village officials, and relevant stakeholders, involved in the FGD. The
data observed including institutional performance and institutional role in supporting food security.
Secondary information was collected from the concerned agricultural office. Data were analyzed
qualitatively.
3. Results and discussion

An attempt of the community-based seedling system in supporting food security could be noticed from
three aspects, i.e.: (1) seed production and distribution, (2) institutional strengthening, and (3) the role
of seeds in food security. Each aspect is described as follows:
3.1. Seed production and distribution

Seed production and distribution are the main factors in the seedling system concept [5]. In this study,
the rice seeds produced were new superior varieties (NSV) from a specific location and had certified.
This kind of seed was expected to be contributed to the increasing in yield and profit. Previous research
showed that the utilization of certified and specific-location NSV rice seeds increased the yield and the
profit [6, 7, 8, 9].
Table 1 represents the production of certified rice seed in the study location from 2015 to 2019. The
seeds were produced on the field laboratory (FL) and field school (FS) land. Intensive assistance was
provided on the FL land with some stimulus like seeds and other agricultural inputs. Meanwhile, on the
FS land, intensive assistance was provided without stimulus.
The number of seeds produced was adjusted to market demand and working capital. Overall, the seed
self-reliance village program's performance has not been fully achieved due to the seed demand in its
region was not fulfilled adequately (on time, good quality, exact quantity, well price, seed type, and
right place). There were some obstacles in seed production: land, capital, seed source, technology
understanding, and farmer behavior. The farmer land for the seedling business is quite extensive, but
some farmers were not interested in the seedling business and even refused it. In this business, farmers
should be waiting for the payment about a month after the seeds are sold. The fact that farmers mostly
2
need a direct cash payment to fulfill their daily outcome became the main reason for seedling business
rejection. Limited capital of nursery caused the seed payment to the farmers were often delayed.
Another constrain of seed production in the study location is seed availability. The seed required is
Foundation Seed (FS) because farmers prefer to use certified Stock Seed (SS) than Extension Seed (ES).
Based on the regulation of Indonesian Agricultural Ministry No.355/HK.130/C/05/2015, the production
system of rice seed is started from Breeder Seed (BS) and then sequentially derivate into Foundation
Seed (FS), Stock Seed (SS), and Extension Seed (ES). The BS class is produced by a breeder in the
research institution, while the other seeds class is produced by Seed Center, private producer, or
individuals.
There is a misconception at the farmer level, who believed that SS class paddy has better quality,
higher yield, and high resistance toward pest and disease attack. The whole seed classes have an equal
potential genetic due to the same variety. The seed class was distinguished by the number of impurities
(dirt and other varieties mixture) and physical characteristics [10,11]. These factors do not affect
productivity, agronomic character, and yield components [10]. Agronomic characteristics and yield
components are mainly determined by the genetic nature of the varieties themselves.

Note: *Field School location
Moreover, poor understanding of farmers in seedling technology is another obstacle in the study
location that required intensive assistance, especially in the crop selection stage. Crop selection could
reduce the yield so that farmers as a breeder were often neglecting an appropriate crop selection
procedure. This negligence led to a failure in field inspection, and as a consequence, the produced seeds
become improper seeds.
Farmer behavior toward certified seeds should also be considered in the seed production process.
There are three typical farmers based on their utilizing certified seeds [12]. First, the farmers who
always use certified seeds realize that the certified seeds have excellent benefits such as higher
production, plant growth, and higher yield price. Second, farmers who use certified seeds in a particular
season, especially in the second or third planting season. This second type utilize certified seeds in the
riskiest planting season to minimize crop failure. Third, farmers who use certified seeds after 3-4 times
of planting due to limited assets (narrow land and nether income).
The seeds were mainly distributed to the farmer group members, and the remaining seeds were sold
to other areas through farm stalls or collaborated with partners (state-owned enterprises or private
3
sectors). The seeds were sold to other areas since their varieties were inappropriate with farmer
preference. The rice cultivated in the study location varies from 7 to 10 rice varieties. On the other hand,
partners' involvement in seed distribution would help accelerate the cash circulation, primarily if the
seeds are sold in large capacity.
3.2. The institutional strengthening

The organization's establishment was an initial step of institutional strengthening in the seed self-
reliance village program. The organization was established in the form of a farmer group. However, the
implementation of farmer groups as a business unit certainly should deal with some obstacles. Seedling
business is a commercial organization managed professionally, requires capital, and has a profit target.
Meanwhile, most farmer groups just functioned as facilitators in sharing information or experiences
related to agricultural programs or issues [13]. This circumstance rendered a difficulty in farmer group
existence as a business unit.
The periodic survey in 2015-2019 showed that the conflict of interest between members of farmer
group and business unit administrator was mainly triggered by the obscurity of property rights in
seedling business management. There was an inconsistency between investment and working capital.
The investment in farmer groups is mostly assisted by local government, which means the groups would
handle the property and the profit gained belong to all group members (table 2). Meanwhile, the seedling
business's working capital in five study locations is the head manager's private capital.

Total amount (IDR) 170,000,000
Several issues of seedling business management were also identified in the Focus Group Discussion
(FGD): (i) the transparency of property right, (ii) the group has no contribution in working capital share,
(iii) complexity in profit calculation due to the free-rider, (iv) mostly members just interested in short-
term profit not a long-term investment, and (v) a lack of control in the business management neither
from farmer group itself nor from the government.
Institutional strengthening was gradually directed to the seedling management improvement,
particularly on the seedling business revitalization. There were several agreements on the revitalization
project: (i) the seedling business unit is not a part of the farmer group, and (ii) the seedling business
should pay money to the farmer group for using the grant facilities. The local government gives a social
grant of seedling facilities through the group to be used by farmers in those areas. This grant could not
be transferred to the commercial or individual seedling business juristically. However, the management
believed that leasing payment in using the seedling facilities burdensome business.
Interestingly, this conflict did not come to the surface since the seedling business's head manager had
a higher socioeconomic status than other farmers in those locations. The group members realized that
the seedling business would not operate if no one initiatively managed the business and provided the
working capital concurrently. Revitalization implementation is extremely challenging, but the seed self-
reliance program threatened unsustainable if the revitalization were unexecuted. This circumstance
4
proved in 2019, which the seed self-reliance villages only remained 22 active units (34.49%) from 63
units.
3.3. The role of seeds in supporting food security

National production of certified rice seeds in 2019 in the amount of 220,738 tons only meet 20.71% of
national demand that reached 276,515 tons [14], and the shortage was obtained from the informal sector.
Meanwhile, the certified seed shortage in Central Java is about 20.57% annually [15]. The number of
seed producers in Central Java for the last five years (2014-2018) is about 234-313 units (table 3). There
are three types of rice seed producers in Central Java: (1) state-owned enterprises (Pertani Ltd., Sang
Hyang Seri Ltd.), (2) private sector, and (3) government. Their contribution to rice seed production was
dominated by state-owned enterprises (51%) and private sectors (46%) [16]. Farmer, as a breeder in the
seed self-reliance program, is categorized as a private producer.

In the rice seed production system, there is four interacted subsystem: (1) research, breeding, and
releasing of varieties; (2) seed production and distribution; (3) quality control and certification; and (4)
supporting subsystems, such as government regulation, human resources, and infrastructure facilities
[18,19]. Indonesia still not ratification from The International Union for the Protection of New Varieties
of Plants (UPOV), but the seed production regulations similar to countries that ratified UPOV. The
presence of UPOV in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) would strengthening
corporation monopoly in the seed authority and obstruct the farmer right in seed development [20].
Another global agreement associated with seed certification also affected the seed self-reliance villages
program [21]. These global agreements emphasized that farmers could only use certified seeds and
could not sell uncertified seeds.
In Indonesia, particularly Central Java, rice seed industry development is still limited, and farmer
dependency on informal seeds is very high. The combination of utilizing formal and informal seeds in
the rural area resulted in complementary and synergic effects. The rice productivity of certified seed
had proven high, but the genotype remains unvaried. Meanwhile, the agrobiodiversity of informal seeds
could complement that shortcoming. The informal seeds own natural resiliency toward farming
environmental change so that this informal seed utilization could become a food security defense
strategy for small-scale farmers.
The above overview accentuates that it is crucial to develop a stable community-based seedling
system. This system was modified from the system developed by Consortium for Unfavorable Rice
Environment (CURE). The seed self-reliance villages program's final purpose is to utilize qualified
seeds, both certified and uncertified. This concept is analogous with the previous observation, which
reported that the operational policy of the food crop seed production should be directed to (i) juxtapose
the location of the seedling industry with the user or production center and avoid the long-distance seed
transportation; (ii) develop seedling industries in the rural area (decentralizing seedling industry); (iii)
strengthening the seedling industry based on quality management; (iv) revitalization and coordination
intensify of inter producers and between the producers with the users; (v) intensifying the role of private
sectors and own-state enterprises in the national seedling industries [11]. With the growth of superior
5
local varieties, the development of seedling industries based on the community would be more effective
and efficient if implemented in a specific location.
4. Conclusion
The global agreement could hinder the community-based seedling system, particularly in breeding and
certification. The implementation of the community-based seedling system developed by the
Consortium for Unfavorable Rice Environment (CURE) should be modified with the ultimate goal of
producing qualified seeds, both certified and uncertified. A community-based rice seedling institution
threatened to quit due to asymmetric interaction among actors. Therefore, the seedling institution should
be strengthening from the technological aspect and the property right management. The government's
role as a facilitator is critical in this community-based seedling institution, especially in capital aspects.
The program of seed self-reliance villages would support food security through seed provides.
