Abstract
The government is actively working to make this country self-sufficient in food. Every effort is being made, including the intensification and extensification of agriculture, to increase the availability and accessibility of agricultural inputs (fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides). Then there is the strengthening of agricultural infrastructure (dams/irrigation), improvement of the farm distribution chain, strengthening of food reserves and food barns, strengthening of business and protection of farming enterprises, and strengthening of aquaculture. However, there is a fundamental issue that also needs to be taken seriously, namely the issue of mentality. The nation's mentality must be built on a cultural foundation that views cultivating the earth as a spiritual path. Cultivating the earth and farming are noble occupations that are akin to worship, as they provide food for all creatures in essence. A cultural approach to building a food security system can be achieved by producing dramatic texts that tell stories about the glory and beauty of the agrarian world and its surrounding environment. Writing drama scripts based on the cultural values of cultivating the earth is a series of creative writing activities. The obstacles encountered in creative writing workshops still revolve around motivation and developing imagination so that literary works do not come across as scientific works. Through drama texts, it is hoped that teachers can provide enlightenment and foster creative thinking in the community, promoting the preservation and development of cultural values that cultivate the earth. Unfortunately, the younger generation is neglecting the farming profession, while our country is rich in natural resources. The world is fertile, and anything planted will grow well, so we should be ashamed if we have to import food. The drama texts produced by teachers can foster a spirit of loving and intelligently cultivating the earth.
