Abstract: Dilemmas and conflicts frequently arise during public policy-making. For instance, those occurring between the Policy for the Protection of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land (PLP2B) and land acquisition for development in the public interest (PTPKU). The former aims to preserve agricultural land, whereas the latter ensures absolute land provision for infrastructure and facility development in the public interest. The purpose of this study is to describe the policy conflicts that exist between the PLP2B policy and the PTPKU policy. A qualitative approach is used to conduct this research with a case study design using content analysis. Apart from documents, data triangulation is also conducted through interviews with multiple parties involved in decision-making and through observation and documentation of field conditions. Although both are in the public interest, the study's findings indicate that conservation is inferior to infrastructure development. The process of nullifying conservation implementation goes through a series of steps that emerge at each stage of land acquisition justification. Key words: Boyolali-Indonesia, LP2B, Land Acquisition, Policy Conflicts, Spatial Planning   Intisari: Dilema dan konflik sering terjadi dalam pengambilan kebijakan publik. Sebagai contoh yaitu antara kebijakan Perlindungan Lahan Pertanian Pangan Berkelanjutan (PLP2B) dan kebijakan Pengadaan Tanah bagi Pembangunan untuk Kepentingan Umum (PTPKU). Kebjiakan PLP2B bertujuan untuk mempertahankan tanah pertanian, sedangkan kebijakan PTPKU menjamin penyediaan lahan secara mutlak bagi pembangunan infrastruktur atau fasilitas bagi kepentingan publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan konflik pada dua contoh kebijakan di atas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan desain studi kasus menggunakan konten analisis (content analysis). Selain berdasar dokumen, dilakukan juga trianggulasi dalam penggunaan data, yaitu dengan wawancara terhadap beberapa pihak yang terlibat dalam pengambilan keputusan, serta observasi dan dokumentasi kondisi lapangan. Dari hasil penelitian tergambar bahwa meski sama-sama sebagai kepentingan umum, kebijakan pelestarian pertanian kalah dengan kepentingan umum pembangunan infrastruktur. Proses pembatalan ketetapan pelestarian terjadi melalui berbagai tahap yang ada pada setiap tahap justifikasi pelaksanaan pengadaan tanah. Kata Kunci: Konflik kebijakan, Tata Ruang, LP2B, Pengadaan Tanah, Boyolali-Indonesia

This paper traces the partnership between the University of Toronto and the non-profit Local Food Plus (LFP) to bring local sustainable food to its St. George campus. At its launch, the partnership represented the largest purchase of local sustainable food at a Canadian university, as well as LFP’s first foray into supporting institutional procurement of local sustainable food. LFP was founded in 2005 with a vision to foster sustainable local food economies. To this end, LFP developed a certification system and a marketing program that matched certified farmers and processors to buyers. LFP emphasized large-scale purchases by public institutions. Using information from in-depth semi-structured key informant interviews, this paper argues that the LFP project was a disruptive innovation that posed a challenge to many dimensions of the established food system. The LFP case study reveals structural obstacles to operationalizing a local and sustainable food system. These include a lack of mid-sized infrastructure serving local farmers, the domination of a rebate system of purchasing controlled by an oligopolistic foodservice sector, and embedded government support of export agriculture. This case study is an example of praxis, as the author was the founder of LFP, as well as an academic researcher and analyst.
