| Sumario: | This chapter addresses, from a legal (state law) perspective, the issue regarding the feasibility of using cassava as alternate staple food beside rice for the Indonesian people or, in the context of energy crisis, as source for biofuel. To do that, written formal law touching upon sustainable development, agriculture, food sovereignty-security and other relevant law and regulations will be perused and analyzed. Focus shall be given on the symbolic meaning of written laws and how government officials interpret and further develop it into policies. The main argument here is that while there are local-regional initiatives and even start up policies to develop cassava as flex crop, lessening Indonesian people dependence on rice as staple food, or magic solution to world hunger or as raw material for biofuel, those steps have not yet become part of the formal law and possessing symbolic effect. |
