The National Medium‐Term Development Plan (RPJMN 2010‐2014) is the second phase of implementation of the 2005‐2025 National Long‐Term Development Plan promulgated through Law No. 17 of 2007. This multi-sectoral plan establishes the following national priorities, among others: poverty reduction; food security; health; environment and natural disasters; energy. As mentioned, food security is among the main objectives of the Plan. In order to ensure food security and food sovereignty, the nutrition status of mothers and children will be improved. Maternal and infant mortality will be reduced and their access to clean water will be provided. The access to food of poor households as well as food assistance and social protection for marginal groups will be ensured as well. The management of natural resources will be improved to attain their sustainable and balanced utilization. Preservation of biodiversity is also among the priorities of the Plan. The development of marine economy will be ensured by optimizing the utilization of marine resources in a sustainable manner. Increasing food production is among the main national development targets. In particular, the production of paddy, maize, soybean and sugar, as well as meat of bovine origin, will be increased. The implementation of specific programmes for poverty reduction in the poorest rural areas is envisaged. The Plan also aims at making agriculture more efficient. To this end, measures on improvement of irrigation and infrastructure are envisaged. Emphasis will be given research and development in agriculture. Investment in food, agriculture and rural industries will be encouraged. Measures for adapting the agricultural system to climate change are laid down as well. Efforts will be made to reduce deforestation and pollution in general. A tsunami early warning system and a climate early warning system will be established. The capacity to overcome natural disasters will be increased through: a) capacity building of the governmental apparatus and of the community in the efforts to mitigate risks and to handle forest fire disasters and hazards in provinces; and b) the rapid action team for handling natural disasters by providing adequate equipment and transportation means, based in two strategic locations that can reach all areas of Indonesia.
