Indonesia is undergoing significant changes in the agricultural sector. Census data shows that less than 25% of farmers are young, while the conversion of agricultural land to industrial use is widespread, driven by the growth of both manufacturing and tourism industries. What, then, is the current map of land use and food distribution? Is there a spatial breakthrough in urban or national planning that can provide solutions to these social issues? This research has been ongoing, addressing the same questions since 2010. The concept of magersari is still being examined—can significant power provide opportunities for smaller livelihoods to coexist harmoniously?
