1. Introduction
The phenomenon   of food crisis that occurred in recent years illustrates the decline in agricultural productivity, besides
due to the uneven distribution of food is also due to hoarding of food by the private sector. Therefore the state is
obliged to pay more attention to genuine agrarian reform that ensures access to and control over resources agrarian
farmers, supported by industry and commerce that supports agriculture to achieve food sovereignty. This food issues to
strengthen since it does uniformity of staple food communities,  communities  that are customary and  hereditary
actually own a variety of foodstuffs principally directed to consume rice as staple food source. The state should be able
to meet  their own basic needs, so that the meaning  staple food for Indonesia as an agricultural country is very
important (Bayu Dwiwiddy  Jatmiko and Ratri Novita Erdianti, 2014).
During  this time Farmers have  a significant contribution in the development of Agriculture and rural economic
development. Agricultural farmers as development actors need to be given protection and empowerment to support the
food needs which is the fundamental right of everyone to achieve food sovereignty, food sovereignty and food security
in a sustainable manner. In organizing the development of Agriculture, Farmers has a central role and make a major
contribution (Satriya Nugraha, 2016).
Legislative policy conceptions that serve as a starting point in this research is pointed out by the Barda Nawawi Arief,
namely  policy legislation (1986, p.109-110). One meaning is in the context of legislation which is the jurisdiction of
the legislature. For the Indonesian state is obliged to formulate legislative policy in the form of state legislation that
guarantees legal protection for farmers in  favor of food  sovereignty, including for traditional farmers. Policy
Legislative confirmed that Indonesia is an agricultural country, can be traced in part according to the provisions of
Article 33 Paragraph (3) of the Constitution of 1945 states earth and water and natural resources contained in it are
controlled by the State and used for the greatest prosperity of the people , in conjunction with Article 1 Paragraph (2)
of Law no. 5 Year 1960 About  the Basic Regulation of Agrarian, who followed up by Articles 3 and 5 of Law No. 12
of 1992 on  Plant Cultivation System, and Articles 4 and 5 of Law No. 19  of 2013 on the Protection and Farmers
empowerment.
