"The Paradox of Agrarian Change: Food Security and the Politics of Social Protection in Indonesia" by John F. McCarthy, Andrew McWilliam, and Gerben Nooteboom is a book that explores the challenges faced by smallholder farmers in rural Indonesia in maintaining access to nutritious food and income while adapting to rapid economic, social, and environmental changes. The book presents a new approach called agrarian scenario change, which offers a holistic and multidimensional perspective on these changes. It includes 11 case studies conducted throughout the Indonesian archipelago, focusing on topics such as rural poverty, social protection, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the book lacks a deeper analysis of power and politics, it is a valuable resource for understanding agrarian change, food security, and the unique context of Indonesia.
