Seminar / workshop

YOGYAKARTA – The structure of land ownership and production asset is a crucial matter for increasing national food supply as more than 50% of farmers only acquire less than 0,5 hectare of land. Therefore, Faculty of Agriculture of UGM has urged the government to increase land ownership for farmers. “This is because the production of rice, corn and bean is always less than 5%,” said Dean of the Faculty, Dr. Jamhari, SP., MP., in the seminar entitled Agricultural Development Policy towards Food Sovereignty and Independence in the Faculty on Friday (5/4).

Research in lactic acid bacteria has progressed rapidly both in basic and applied researches. On the other hand, Indonesia has mega-biodiversity with very high lactic acid bacteria potential.

The lactic acid bacteria can be isolated and used for human beings. Traditionally, the bacteria can be used for food fermentation, such as ketchup, tape and asinan (fermented cassava and salted fruits and vegetables).

The government is seen as paying inadequate attention to reproduction right of the disabled  people, as seen in the unavailability of policy that supports access to information and services of reproduction health of the disabled group. Meanwhile, health security has not fully supported the rights.
