Naskah Lengkap UNIVERSITAS GADJAH MADA MENGABDI: MEMBANGUN PENGUATAN SINERGI DAN INOVASI UNTUK MEWUJUDKAN KEDAULATAN PANGAN Oleh: Sahid Susanto

Sesuai dengan thema Dies Natalis UGM kali ini dengan bidang Agro sebagai lokomotif daya saing bangsa dan kesejahteraan rakyat, maka judul diatas dipilih sebagai fokus perhatian dalam naskah pidato Dies UGM 2015.

Sudah banyak diskusi tentang kedaulatan pangan dilakukan dan telah menghasilkan banyak dokumen. Pada kesempatan kali ini,  rasanya masih sangat relevan apabila diskusi tentang kedaulatan pangan kita angkat lagi karena ada situasi sosial-ekonomi-politik yang memberikan momentum dan semakin kuatnya keinginan untuk mewujudkannya. Kedaulatan pangan sebagai bagian kedaulatan berbangsa dan bernegara harus terus menerus disuarakan. Jangan sampai semakin redup dan menjadi hilang dari ingatan kita.
