Food Estate di Indonesia: Telaah Kriminologi Hijau

  • Dzaki Darmawardana Rujak Center for Urban Studies

Abstract

Since being implemented by the Joko Widodo administration in 2019, Food Estate, a large-scale government-led agriculture project, has been causing massive environmental destruction over several parts of the Indonesian archipelago. This article analyses Food Estate as a form of environmental crime. Utilizing green criminology as a conceptual framework with ecocide as a legal-conceptual framework, this article aims to explain how the state is the leading actor for the environmental harms by mobilizing a food security narrative as a moral and political justification as well as the legal engineering process for legal justification over the project. Severe, widespread, and longterm environmental destruction as the impacts of Food Estate shows that the state has been the primary perpetrator of ecocide and should be considered liable.
