The characteristic of rural area in Indonesia is making the agricultural sector as main source of income for the communities. In order to accelerate poverty reduction through the food security development, it is necessary to shift paradigm of agricultural development to create a conducive climate of farming and to increase farmer's welfare. The shift of paradigm is important as foundation in creating synergies between stakeholders.
