Like other Southeast Asian countries, the 1960s Green Revolution policy aimed to boost rice productivity by obligating farmers to buy and use imported seeds, use chemical fertilizers and pesticides to exterminate pests, and employ mechanistic farming. The results have been detrimental to the environment, contributed to farmers\u2019 reliance on foreign suppliers of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides and have even led to rice export\u2014the antithesis of the Green Revolution\u2019s rhetoric itself. This article explores how women farmers contest the dominant discourse and policies on agriculture by practicing sustainable agriculture through using locally grown seeds, developing and using natural nutrients, and sustaining&nbsp;<em>pranata mangsa<\/em>&nbsp;as local knowledge for the agricultural calendar. Through a feminist participatory action research, we work together with&nbsp;<em>Solidaritas Perempuan<\/em>, a local women\u2019s organization, to document the practices of sustainable farming in rural Indonesia. By taking a feminist political ecology, we argue that these ethically informed agricultural practices challenge the dominant neoliberal-mechanistic approach to rice production and consumption, while identifying more sustainable agricultural practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/12259276.2025.2465003\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/12259276.2025.2465003<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zulfa, S., Laili, S., Sumaryani, S., Saraswati, G.
