Abstract

Pertanian kelapa sawit industri yang berorientasi untuk mengganti bahan bakar fosil semakin dinamis di Jambi. Masyarakat agraris perlahan beralih kepada pertanian komoditas kelapa sawit. Namun, kabut asap yang terjadi hampir setiap tahun menjadi salah satu dampak dari semakin luasnya perkebunan kelapa sawit tersebut. Melalui tinjauan pustaka dan kajian empiris penulis, dengan teknik wawancara dan observasi, untuk mendalami sebab-sebab konflik agraria di Jambi pada 2011 dan 2012, serta pemerhatian lapangan terhadap peristiwa kabut asap pada 2014, tulisan ini menguraikan dapatan kajian bahwa kabut asap dan transisi ekonomi tradisi adalah akibat kehadiran industri perkebunan kelapa sawit berorientasi bahan bakar minyak berbasis tumbuhan atau biofuel yang semakin masif.. Tulisan ini akhirnya menyarankan strategi untuk membantu menyelesaikan dua isu sosial dan ekonomi di atas, yaitu dengan menguatkan peran para ulama dalam menyebarkan konsep almaslahah dan khalifah dalam isu lingkungan dan sosial di Jambi serta menegakkan identitas ulama sebagai penjaga nilai-nilai kebaikan (amr ma’ruf nahi mungkar) dalam kehidupan umat manusia.
