Abstract

Research into the social and environmental effects of Gorontalo Governor Regulation No. 48 of 2019, which addresses food storage, is detailed here. This research examines the extent to which these rules are in line with environmental responsibility and social fairness through a combination of normative juridical methodologies and policy analysis. The investigation revealed that, despite the best of intentions, the policies aimed at ensuring price stability and increasing food supply fail to adequately account for the impact they would have on the environment or involve local populations. For instance, the strategy does not take into account the effects of things like agricultural production patterns on environmental degradation and climate change or the carbon footprints of various distribution methods. The policy's legitimacy and efficacy are further weakened by the limited space for public input in the design and implementation stages. The research suggests reworking regulations to incorporate criteria for ecological sustainability and public participation. This study aims to aid in the formulation of more efficient and sustainable food reserve policies by providing a more holistic understanding of food reserves as part of a larger ecological and social system. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
