Abstract

One of the focuses of sustainable development goal is Zero Hunger program. This program requires food availability and sustainable agricultural managements. The Indonesian government has issued a law and its derivatives in order to meet the national food availability. Indonesia as an agricultural country should not have always been imported foods in order to meet the needs, especially in its fulfilment for domestic consumption. This is because the Indonesian farmers across generation who are in direct contact with food sources have local wisdom to manage and fulfil the needs in a sustainable manner, even though only for small scale or domestic scale. Based on the description above, the purpose of this study is to describe food sustainability in the perspective of local wisdom of the indigenous Dayak Tomun Lamandau community by using descriptive qualitative research methods. This research was conducted on the indigenous Dayak Tomun Lamandau community in Sungai Buluh Village, Lamandau Regency, Central Kalimantan. This study found that a local knowledge, that is a sustainable food processing, has been passed down across generation. This local knowledge has been proven to successfully maintain the availability of food in granaries that last for years. This adaptive behaviour prevents local people from food crisis.
