Building Resilient Food Systems Through Climate-Smart Agriculture to Achieve Indonesia’s SDG 2

Abstract

This study explores how resilient food systems and climate-smart agriculture (CSA) can jointly contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) in Indonesia. Through qualitative content analysis of interdisciplinary sources, it examines the ecological, institutional, and socio-economic factors shaping agricultural sustainability. Findings show that resilience in food systems is strengthened by diversity, adaptive governance, and inclusive value chains, while CSA practices such as agroforestry and digital weather tools enhance productivity and climate adaptation. However, policy fragmentation, financial barriers, and weak institutional capacity constrain integration. The study develops a comprehensive framework linking resilience thinking with CSA strategies, tailored to Indonesia’s decentralized agricultural context. The research contributes conceptually by bridging resilience theory with sustainable development practice, and practically by recommending policy reforms, capacity building, and inclusive finance mechanisms. These insights provide strategic pathways for advancing food security and agricultural sustainability under climate change pressures in Indonesia.
