Reframing Agricultural Political Education: StrengtheningLegal Consciousness and Leadership amongAgrotechnology and Political Science Students
Keywords:
Agricultural Political Education, Legal Consciousness, Leadership, Agrotechnology, Political Science, Interdisciplinary Education, Agricultural PolicyAbstract
The development of the agricultural sector in Indonesia is not only a technical challenge but also
a political and legal one. While Agrotechnology students are trained to master agricultural
science and technology, and Political Science students acquire knowledge about governance and
policy-making, there is often a lack of integration between these disciplines to address real-world
agricultural governance challenges. This study examines the role of agricultural political
education in strengthening legal consciousness and leadership skills among university students in
Agrotechnology and Political Science programs. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach based
on literature review, policy analysis, and case studies, the research highlights how
interdisciplinary education can foster students’ critical understanding of agricultural policy, law,
and democratic participation. Findings suggest that embedding political and legal perspectives
into the Agrotechnology curriculum enhances students’ ability to navigate complex agricultural
governance issues, engage in policy advocacy, and contribute meaningfully to sustainable and
equitable agricultural development. This study emphasizes the importance of integrated
pedagogical strategies to prepare future leaders who are legally aware, politically competent, and
capable of bridging science and policy in the agricultural domain
