Legal Literacy- This article reviews and highlights how government policies deviate from the agrarian reform program as mandated by the Basic Agrarian Law.

Introduction

The spirit of agrarian reform contained inLaw Number 5 of 1960is the existence of land law that is oriented towards justice and social welfare. Agrarian reform itself is a program to restructure land ownership to realize justice in land control. Land control is oriented towards bringing social welfare in addition to individual welfare. The welfare of farmers as central actors for food security and sovereignty also receives more attention because the state is highly dependent on farmers in this sector. Without the presence of farmers, the state will face difficulties in dealing with domestic food problems which can have an impact on other aspects. Due to the urgency of land governance, the state as the holder of prerogative rights regulates this in government policy. Law Number 5 of 1960 or what is commonly called the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) has mandated populist land management so that land management is not only enjoyed by a handful of parties. The mandate of the Law is derived in various regulations and policies below it so that it is hoped that the agrarian reform can run as it should. However, in its dynamics, the agrarian reform program often deviates from its objectives at the implementation stage. The government as the official authority often regulates things that deviate. Even in some cases, the government ignores and turns a blind eye to disputes involving agrarian reform. An example is the incident that befell farmers in Cianjur Regency, precisely in Rawabelut Village and Batulawang Village. This incident is one indication of the government's lack of seriousness towards the implementation of the agrarian reform program.
