| Summary: | This study examines the movement by peasants against the Green
Revolution. Here, organic agriculture is used as an ideological
movement, which in it contains the values of freedom, independence
and balance of nature. The research focus of this thesis is why these
movements emerged, how this movement lasted, and what its impact.
In answer to some of these problems required the reconstruction of
events with a critical historical method. Sources of writing are derived
from primary and secondary data. The first was obtained by tracking
the archive, in-depth interviews and direct observation, while the
secondary data derived from several studies of the relevant literature.
The results of this study are as follows. Independence of farmers
was initiated with the ideology of organic farming is not going
according to expectations. In political economy, the organic farming
movement can be said to fail. The obstacles are no longer lies in
government policy, but the mentality of the farmers themselves who
have turned into a rational farmer, in the sense of a modern farmer.
Organic farming is more grounded in moral ideal simply fail to thrive
because of the conditions of land ownership, the difficulty of
supporting facilities, and the condition of the land itself. Therefore,
the issue of organic farming is segmented into three groups: the
moralists, idealists (theological-philosophical), rational-economic, and
technical-pragmatic.
In such cases, Suko who lived in the hamlet Kenteng,
Mangunsari, Sawangan is symbolized as a figure of resistance
movement by peasants. The creation of the impression was
deliberately created by NGOs for political purposes. The media plays
an important role in construction the imaging is a way to redirect a
frame of interpretation of public opinion. Then, the opinion that had
has developed reproduced by other mass media. The result, Suko
managed to become a celebrity figure in the resistance movement of
peasants in the last New Order era.
