Erosion of Green Revolution: Impact on Empowering Eco-Friendly Farmers

In this episode, we explore the insights of Mr. Subhan, a farmer and agricultural activist within the Nahdlatul Ulama institution. He provides an in-depth understanding of the Green Revolution, the changes it brought to the world of agriculture, how farmers have adapted in its aftermath, and the lasting impact on farmers. Mr. Subhan also highlights the current state of soil fertility, as recognized through research and farmers’ experiences, and discusses the government’s stance on present agricultural conditions. Additionally, Mr. Aditiajaya, a farmer and agricultural policy activist since the Green Revolution era, provides an overview of the Green Revolution’s historical context. He points out that despite Indonesia’s rich resources, it became a follower rather than a pioneer, leading to farmer dependency and a lack of government responsiveness in current policies.
