The book calls for the formulation of a “new and effective Agriculture Politics” to reverse the trend towards agricultural involution, land-grabbing, rising food imports and stagnant productivity. 

The authors discuss the application of Blue Economy principles to raise production, create jobs, increase farm incomes and protect the environment. Government must redirect spending on fertilizer and seed subsidies to investment in infrastructure and human resource development.

The Idea for One Agency One Innovation initiative was not conceived overnight. it is a result of contremplations and learning processes and experiences on varius efforts to increase the qualitiy of public service in national and international level. it is not only an obligatiton to but also an obligation to increase their services expenetially, in trems of both quality and quantity and to structure and plan it well. with that in mind, in the end of year 2013, I issued Minister Decree No. 15 2013 concerning Public Service Innovation Contenst as one agenda in 2014 as Public Service Year.

Public Service Innovation Contest is an entry point in supporting One Agency One Innovation initiative.

Indonesia Menentukan Nasib

Seringkali kita mendengar mantra bahwa indonesia adalah sebuah  negara  yang  begitu  kaya  akan  sumber  daya alam. dengan kekayaan alam ini secara otomatis kita berharap seluruh rakyat akan sejahtera. tetapi cara berpikir ini menimbulkan dua permasalahan. pertama, seperti yang diuraikan dalam kajian strategis ini, ketersediaan sumber daya alam saat ini sudah banyak berkurang.  Begitu banyak yang sudah  terbuang  percuma  di  mana  kita  tidak  akan  mampu memperolehnya kembali.  Kedua, pemanfaatan sumber daya alam selama ini bukannya memberikan manfaat kesejahteraan bagi  kebanyakan  orang,  melainkan  hanya  sebagian  kecil kelompok masyarakat saja yang menikmatinya.
