JAKARTA - Until now, talking about food security often makes our imagination float to the expanse of green rice fields in the countryside. However, under President Prabowo Subianto's Astacita vision, the paradigm is beginning to shift towards the blue ocean. Now, the sea is no longer just a backyard, but a front porch that promises an independent and sustainable lifestyle.
This use brings a fresh breeze to the coastal area. No longer just a fish auction that looks shabby, the fishing village is projected to transform into a modern, technology-savvy economic center.
Not Just Catching Fish, But 'Smart Fishing'
UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta Professor, Prof. Achmad Tjachja Nugraha, emphasized that the future of coastal communities lies in the combination of tradition and innovation. According to him, fishing villages must become production centers supported by modern maritime technology.
"Food security should not only rely on the land sector. Fishing villages must become centers for the production, distribution, and strengthening of the people's economy based on the sea," said Prof. Achmad.
Imagine a fisherman who no longer guesses the direction of the wind manually, but uses accurate hydro-oceanographic data to determine the fishing area. With the help of cold storage technology and qualified cold chain logistics, the fish that reaches your table remains fresh as if it just came out of the water. This is a more efficient and quality farm-to-table lifestyle (or in this case, sea-to-table).
