Implementation of pesticides reductant law for healthy and food safety in the Indonesian agriculture

Law enforcement has always been problematic in Indonesia, including foodsafety and consumer health regulations. However, the Government of Indonesia has issued several rules on food safety, such as Law 18/2012 concerning Food and Government Regulation Number 28 of 2004 concerning Food Safety, Quality, and Nutrition. In reality, there are still many food producers who ignore food safety. The causes of food unsafety are the massive use of pesticides from farmers causes unhealthy food, reduced soil health, death of pest predators, and ecosystem imbalance. Who should anticipate these problems with a new legal breakthrough that can guarantee food safety by implementing the Pesticides Reductant Law? The Reductant is a breakthrough solution to reduce the dose of pesticide, and its effectiveness is the same as the application of a single amount of pesticide. Furthermore, the Reductant could reduce up to a half dose of the pesticide used and reduce the cost of using pesticides so that farmers will benefit more. This study will empirically analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the Pesticides Reductant Law is implemented in Indonesia. In addition, this study will provide conclusions in the form of the driving and inhibiting factors for the realization of Pesticides Reductant Law in Indonesia.
