【 摘 要 】

Food sovereignty, since first articulated in 1996, evaluations of the practice and potential of this emerging concept and its sub-elements got fast popularity, which first emerged from civil society publications. Indonesia experienced food law reform from Law number 7 of 1996 to Law number 18 of 2012. The purposes of the work were: (1) to understand the reform process from the old to the new Indonesia's food law, (2) to investigate the impact of Indonesia's food law reform on the concept of food sovereignty in Indonesia. The approach was doctrinal research. The paper used secondary data with primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The scientific innovation of this paper is the use of legal systems to strengthen the food sovereignty in Indonesia, suggesting that the law is needed to ensure the food sovereignty in Indonesia. The results show that there is a paradigm shift in the Indonesia's food law from food security and food self-sufficiency towards food sovereignty and in the content materials of new Indonesia's food law which include the concept of food sovereignty. The present reasearch concluded that there is a reform in Indonesia's food law and there is an impact - in term of legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture- of Indonesia's food law reform on the concept of food sovereignty in Indonesia.
