Abstract This study aims to explore the conditions of pressure and durability capacity of women cultivators facing the pressures of regulation on forest and land fire control in Indonesia. The results of this study highlight that the scientific knowledge and patriarchal capitalism perspective contribute to product regulation in Indonesia, and then creating women cultivators as a non-class subjects. Thus, the woman cultivators are victims of that regulation. Women cultivators have various complex strategies and adaptations in dealing with multiple pressures under regulations on one site, corporations and food estate programs on other sites. The act of burning fields is not intended to fight the rules, but an act with no alternatives for survival from the lowest view. The act of burning is an act of utilizing the capacity to produce and reproduce the capacity of remaining food sources and the capacity for subsistence independence. Understanding the act of burning fields by Oloh Ngaju women cultivators is an effort to understand the farming activities as rationalized by individual actions within the limits of their interests and limit power (setting the limits to domination). So it is very possible to propose the concept of subsistence feminism to see the type of the grassroots women's movement.
