“…Food insecurity, in its most extreme form, hunger, must be understood as a complex interplay of context-specific factors and reflects structural problems [14]. The case of Merauke can serve as a good example.…”

Indonesia's Papua region has experienced rapid economic development in the last decade through massive investment in the agricultural sector and infrastructure development. Although the industrial agri-food has expanded in the region, Papua has the highest rank of food insecurity at the national level. This paper intends to describe a paradox in an agribusiness frontier where (food) commodity production creates food insecurity at the local level. The agribusiness development has rearranged the natural resources governance and labour relations, which, in turn, limits local communities' access to food sources and compels them to enter commodity relations in providing food. Penetration of market relations does not resolve existing food insecurity. On the contrary, it creates a new kind of food vulnerability. The analysis presented here is based on a literature review on agricultural development and primary data gathered from ethnographic fieldwork in West Papua Province in 2017.

“…Messer (1997: 309;1993: 237) argues how ethnographic studies on the right to food have been including the identification of local cultural and household notions and practice of the obligation to feed and provide medical care for young children that may be organized through customary institutions and practices. A detailed empirical analysis of the content and consequences of various human rights, including the right to food, allows proponents of legal complexity to evaluate which laws and discourses are more likely to realize specific desired social and political goals (Hadiprayitno 2010). Such contribution is assumed to provide a missing link of critical feedback on the right to food policies and laws made in New York or Geneva and this has clear implications for how the right to food is implemented.…”

The article aims to analyse what it means to study state obligations to progressive realization of the right to food from the perspective of legal complexity. This perspective studies law not in isolation, rather in the existence of multiple legal systems at socio-political space of states. The article highlights that employing legal complexity, particularly with its understanding on interlegality and space, may enable one to gain alternative insights in the ways that states measure their commitment to carry their obligations to respect, protect and fulfill the right to food.

“…The right to food hence has no legal standing in Indonesian human rights courts. This discrepancy creates an area of uncertainty on the promotion and protection of the right to food in the governance of the food system (Hadiprayitno 2010).…”

The norms and ideals of human rights are increasingly invoked by civil society organisations to construct claims related to land tenure and access to food, particularly to challenge a massive expansion of agricultural investment in a developing country. While this has facilitated negotiations on rights and the formulation of claims, studies that investigate to what extent such endeavours achieve the transformational goals advocated by human rights proponents or in particular whether they have been successful in instigating any institutional reform in the governance of massive agricultural modernisation projects are scanty. After discussing a national agricultural modernisation project, the Merauke Integrated Food and Energy Estate (MIFEE), set up in Merauke, Papua, the article concludes that the analysis of the transformative role of human rights requires a prudent examination of the role of the State in the negotiation process, the patterns of socio-cultural interactions signifying the political setting and the pressure experienced and perceived by actors that affect the issues selected and omitted.
