Recognizing and strengthening indigenous knowledge, cultural practices, and traditional methods of farming to promote food security and sustainable development are crucial especially in Papua Land. This is because this approach involves leveraging the unique ecological understanding and agricultural techniques developed by local communities over generations, which are often well-adapted to the local environment. By empowering these local practices, communities can improve their agricultural productivity, preserve their cultural heritage, and ensure long-term food availability. Sustainable agriculture in this context aims to balance environmental health, economic viability, and social equity, ensuring that farming methods do not deplete natural resources or harm ecosystems. Therefore, the concept advocates for a participatory, culturally respectful approach that integrates local wisdom into sustainable development strategies to enhance food security in Papua Land.

The linkage between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the focus on empowering local wisdom and food security through sustainable agriculture in Papua Land revolves around aligning global objectives with local practices and knowledge systems. The SDGs aim to address broad global challenges such as poverty, hunger, and environmental sustainability. However, implementing these goals in Papua Land may encounter challenges related to respecting and integrating indigenous knowledge, cultural practices, and local agricultural methods. Empowering local wisdom involves recognizing and utilizing indigenous and traditional practices that have sustained communities for generations, which may sometimes differ from standardized or externally imposed sustainable agriculture techniques aligned with SDGs. The core issue, therefore, is ensuring that the pursuit of SDGs does not overlook or undermine local customs and knowledge systems. Instead, it should support and enhance local agricultural practices to improve food security while respecting cultural integrity. Achieving this balance requires careful, context-specific strategies that harmonize global sustainability targets with local realities and wisdom.
