ABSTRACT Indonesian food security policy suffers from a fundamental internal contradiction – between neoliberal pressures towards more integration into the global market-based food system geared towards profit and an intractable residual belief in national self-sufficiency in staple foods. While this contradiction presents itself in technical and economic terms, it is fundamentally a matter of culture and ideology. The article addresses this contradiction by way of a study of key metaphors of food security, among which the most central is lumbung – the traditional rice barn. Lumbung of various kinds have been a central pillar of food security across the archipelago since ancient times and still serve in many contexts as a metaphor for food security at various levels. While this ‘lumbung culture’ may have ‘hindered’ attempts to integrate Indonesia more fully into wider circuits of market exchange, it has to some extent protected the Indonesian food system from the growing vulnerabilities of climate, resource/environmental stresses, and pandemics.

Lumbung 民族:印度尼西亚粮食安全的隐喻

摘要 印度尼西亚的粮食安全政策面临着一个根本的内部矛盾——新自由主义压力要求更多地融入全球以市场为基础的粮食系统以谋取利润,而对国家主食自给自足的顽固残余信念。虽然这种矛盾表现在技术和经济方面,但从根本上说是文化和意识形态问题。这篇文章通过研究粮食安全的关键隐喻来解决这一矛盾,其中最核心的是 lumbung——传统的谷仓。自古以来,各种 Lumbung 一直是整个群岛粮食安全的核心支柱,并且在许多情况下仍然作为各级粮食安全的隐喻。
