From the 1950s onward, the government has introduced various large-scale food estate programs to increase food production for the community’s needs. However, based on some research, implementing government-led food estate projects has been criticized and negatively impacted the local communities. The research attempts to examine the implementation of the Food Estate Policy and its impacts on the rights of local communities, including a comparison between policies applied in other countries. The research method used is qualitative research, which bases its analysis on applicable laws and regulations relevant to the research focus.
