Preserving #Rutong's #sago forest for food security
February 15, 2025
"Food security
"The potential of Rutong's sago forest is continuing to be developed to maintain food security and thereby, anticipate any food supply crisis.
"'The existence of the Rutong sago forest is an opportunity to revive local food,' the acting mayor of Ambon, Dominggus N. Kaya, said.
"The food security program here is an effort to revive local foods, considering that Ambon City is highly dependent on outside food supplies.
"#Sago has been a staple food for the #Maluku people since ancient times. They process sago into various foods, such as #papeda, #SaguLempeng, #SaguGula (a mixture of sago, brown sugar, and coconut), #KaruKaru (a fried mixture of sago starch and raw coconut), or #uha (a grilled mixture of raw sago and coconut wrapped in sago leaves).
"It is also used to make more contemporary foods such as #brownies and #burgers.
"The #SagoForest is vital for maintaining food security because many areas of #Ambon are seeing infrastructure #development. Thus, the land that can be used for agriculture is small."
