The Panggoba Tradition as a Food Security Strategy: A Study of Hadith and Gorontalo Local Wisdom

Abstract

The Panggoba tradition in Gorontalo is a local practice related to food management and social solidarity, which has relevance to the concept of food security from an Islamic perspective. This study aims to explain how the Panggoba tradition can be understood as a food security strategy by linking it to the Prophet's hadith values regarding the importance of planting and maintaining the sustainability of food sources. The research method used is qualitative with descriptive analysis, through the study of hadith literature, text review, as well as observation of the cultural practices of the Gorontalo community. Data were obtained from primary sources in the form of hadiths related to the act of planting, as well as secondary sources in the form of academic literature, Gorontalo cultural archives, and research documents related to food security. The research results indicate that the Panggoba tradition not only functions as a mechanism for food distribution but also serves as a means to strengthen social solidarity and maintain the sustainability of local resources. The Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) concerning date pollination is one example that local wisdom can be aligned with religious teachings to produce sustainable food strategies. Integrating scientific approaches, policy, and local traditions will be key to ensuring food sovereignty and sustainable production across various regions of Indonesia.
