Indonesia’s Food Infrastructure Readiness for Achieving the Global Zero Hunger Agenda

Abstract

Indonesia's commitment to the United Nations' Zero Hunger agenda necessitates a robust and equitable food infrastructure system. This study assesses the country's readiness across physical, institutional, and technological domains. Utilizing qualitative document analysis and a systems-theoretical lens, the research reveals that Indonesia’s food logistics infrastructure remains uneven, with rural and eastern regions lacking adequate support. Institutional fragmentation, centralized planning, and weak inter-agency coordination continue to hinder progress. The study introduces an integrative infrastructure readiness framework that evaluates capacity in terms of accessibility, resilience, and inclusivity. Recommendations include enhancing coordination through empowered national agencies, integrating digital logistics platforms, and promoting public-private partnerships. The findings provide a strategic model for aligning Indonesia’s infrastructure with the Zero Hunger goal by 2030. This research contributes both theoretically and practically by bridging the current gap in food systems literature through a holistic, readiness-based approach.
