Preventing Land Conversion by Using Geographical Indication Regime to Realize Food Sovereignity

Food supply is government's responsibility as well as the right of citizen. Inability to supply food will result in threat for country's food sovereignty. Land is closely related to food supply. The lesser number of land due to land conversion, the higher its impact of low supply of food. Therefore, there should be new strategy to prevent land conversion. Geographical Indication regime might be used as the alternative to bring food sovereignty into reality for its ability to improve the selling value of product and prosperity on the part of farmers. This study employs normative method by using primary and secondary law materials to analyse the research problems.
