CASH WAQF DEVELOPMENT MODEL TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE FOOD AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Indonesia has the world's second-largest Muslim population and basic agricultural potential. Indonesia's food and agricultural productivity is still low, unable to meet domestic food needs. This study aims to develop cash waqf in Indonesia to increase sustainable food agriculture productivity. The analysis method employed is a conceptual approach to developing cash waqf as a sustainable source of funds. This study employs a literature review method and in-depth interviews with key informants, including representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, cash waqf management nazirs, waqf agencies/institutions, academics, and farmers. The study results suggest that the cash waqf development model can be implemented in various ways, including the procurement of agricultural food waqf land, the acquisition of supporting infrastructure for the agricultural food sector, agricultural food production tools, and agricultural production processing tools. The development of this cash waqf can be carried out partially or simultaneously according to needs and problems. A well-integrated cash waqf development model is expected to increase food and agricultural productivity while supporting sustainable food and agricultural development.
