BUILDING A FOOD SOVEREIGNTY IN THE ISLANDS MARITIME

摘要

Unitary Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) is a series of 13 466 islands located in the equatorial which stretches from Sabang to Merauke (BIG 2014). Administrative area / autonomous provincial level is 34, while at the district / city as much as 505 administrative regions (Sutisna S.2014). District of West Southeast Maluku Maluku province in general can be categorized as a maritime archipelago because of the dominance of natural resources and communities are more emphasized on the basis of marine services. In order to know the potential of agricultural land conducted a study based land information systems and land physical latest information. Satellite image interpretation methods for the acquisition of land physical information is integrated with land information system by using the Geographic Information System is used for the spatial analysis of potential agricultural land. The concept of the development of agricultural land will produce three types of potential include the potential agricultural land paddy fields, dry land farming, and annual plants. The results are beginning zoning information that has the potential, these results as a baseline for further development of the suitability of the type of agriculture to the type of commodity. Dry land area for upland rice crop reached an area of 32 347 ha, while land area 1,281 ha with a production of rice yield 1075 tons / year (BPS 2012). The results showed that the district has an area of potential agricultural land rice field with class marginally suitable (S3) wide reach ± 53 thousand hectares or 8.7% of the total area, the potential of dryland farming land with class marginally suitable (S3) of ± 44 thousand hectares or 9.9% of the total area. Potential development of agricultural land in the region of West Southeast Maluku islands large enough to fit the category of marginal land means having great barriers to maintain the level of management should be applied. Spatial information like this has an important role in supporting national food sovereignty program.
