AbstractLike the rest of the world, African countries are reeling from the health, economic and social effects of COVID-19. The continent’s governments have responded by imposing rigorous lockdowns to limit the spread of the virus. The various lockdown measures are undermining food security, because stay at home orders have among others, threatened food production for a continent that relies heavily on agriculture as the bedrock of the economy. This article draws on quantitative data collected by the GeoPoll, and, from these data, assesses the effect of concern about the local spread and economic impact of COVID-19 on food worries. Qualitative data comprising 12 countries south of the Sahara reveal that lockdowns have created anxiety over food security as a health, economic and human rights/well-being issue. By applying a probit model, we find that concern about the local spread of COVID-19 and economic impact of the virus increases the probability of food worries. Governments have responded with various efforts to support the neediest. By evaluating the various policies rolled out we advocate for a feminist economics approach that necessitates greater use of data analytics to predict the likely impacts of intended regulatory relief responses during the recovery process and post-COVID-19.

Adaptation Options

Millions of people in Sunderbans generate their livelihood and sustenance through fishing, honey collection, fuel wood and timber. The paper attempts to examine the issues of coastal poverty, food security as well as livelihood insecurity and the adaptation options that help to the resilience of climate change. The paper is based on field survey conducted in the villages of Sunderans in 2011. The study revealed that fishing and crab collection, honey collection are the important sources of livelihood. The fishing resources have been declining which leads to the insecurity of livelihoods of the fishing communities. The study has identified the key adaptations like dependency of money lenders, fishing and crab collection, formation of Self Help Groups, livestock rearing and migration. This paper has important policy implications for poverty, livelihood vulnerability and migration.

Security Issues

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Food security issues deal with critical problem, namely food demand grows faster than that of production. To achieve food self-sufficiency and food security, the Ministry of Agriculture Indonesia through Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development develops the Model of Sustainable Food Houses Region (M-KRPL) and its replication, namely the Sustainable Food Houses Region (KRPL). The concept of M-KRPL and KRPL programs needs to be refined primarily due to program design, implementation period, implementing organizations, introduced technologies, and strengthened local institutions. Implementation of M-KRPL and KRPL should be carried out through excellent social process and stages of growth, i.e. growing, developing, maturation, and self-reliance. M-KRPL replication should take account the technology use as well as community empowerment. M-KRPL and KRPL is promising in terms of technical, economic and institutional aspects. Important policy implications are: (a) taking accounts the technical aspect and social-economic characteristics of the targeted groups, (b) program period must be at least three years along with the growth stages; (c) the main M-KRPL and KRPL implementing organizations are the Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology (AIATs) and Regional governments, respectively; (d) the technology introduced consists of nursery, farm practice, post harvest, and processing; and (e) managerial and capital development.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Pembangunan ketahanan pangan dihadapkan pada permasalahan pokok, dimana pertumbuhan permintaan pangan adalah lebih cepat dari pertumbuhan produksinya. Dalam rangka mewujudkan kemandirian pangan dan ketahanan pangan, Kementerian Pertanian melalui Badan Litbang Pertanian mengembangkan Model Kawasan Rumah pangan Lestari (M-KRPL) dan replikasinya menjadi Kawasan Rumah Pangan Lestari (KRPL). Konsep program M-KRPL dan KRPL perlu disempurnakan terutama terkait dengan rancangan program, jangka waktu pelaksanaan, organisasi pelaksana, serta teknologi yang diintroduksikan dan penguatan kelembagaan lokal. Payung hukum M-KRPL dan KRPL adalah : UU No.7 tahun 1966 tentang Pangan; PP No.68 tantang Ketahanan pangan; PP No. 22 tahun 2009 tentang Kebijakan Percepatan Penganekaragaman Konsumsi Pangan Berbasis Sumber Daya Lokal; serta PP No. 43 tahun 2009 tentang Gerakan Percepatan Penganekaragaman Konsumsi Pangan Berbasis Sumber Daya Lokal.  Implementasi replikasi M-KRPL menjadi KRPL seyogyanya dilakukan melalui proses sosial yang matang melalui tahap penumbuhan, pengembangan, pematangan, dan kemandirian.  Replikasi M-KRPL menggunakan entry point teknologi dan sekaligus kelembagaan, serta berdasarkan prinsip pemberdayaan masyarakat.  Pengembangan M-KRPL dan KRPL memiliki prospek baik dan berlanjutan ditinjau dari aspek teknis, ekonomi dan kelembagaan. Implikasi kebijakan penting adalah : (a) rancangan program harus memperhatikan aspek teknis dan karakteristik sosial ekonomi kelompok sasaran; (b) jangka waktu program minimal 3 (tiga) tahun melalui tahap penumbuhan, pengembangan, dan kemandirian; (c) organisasi pelaksana utama M-KRPL adalah BPTP, sedangkan KRPL adalah Pemerintah Daerah; (d) teknologi yang diintroduksikan mencakup teknologi pembibitan, budidaya, serta pasca panen dan pengolahan hasil; dan (e) penguatan kelembagaan pengelola M-KRPL dan KRPL baik dari aspek manajemen, permodalan, dan partisipasi anggota.</p>

Background: The Official Development Assistance, or ODA has been an invaluable source to assist developing countries in their economic and social development. Of the major ODA donors, the Republic of Korea (Korea) became a significant player in ODA and a role model. Providing its ODA, Korea designates the priority partner countries to which 70% of Korean bilateral ODA is allocated and formulates a country partnership strategy for each priority partner country. Objective: This study focuses on five sub-Saharan countries that were designated as Korea’s priority partner countries during the period of 2011-2020 and takes a detailed look at Korea’s ODA to their Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) during the same period. With the five countries and ARD, this study intends to examine a hypothesis; the worse its food security and agricultural development was at a national level, the larger Korea’s ARD aid the country received. Methods: To test the hypothesis, data collected from World Bank, Global Hunger Index Reports and Korea ODA Statistics are sorted and analyzed. Then comparisons are made between Korea’s grant disbursements to ARD and the status of food security of the five African countries: Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Uganda. Results: Results from the data indicate that there seems little consistency between the status of agriculture and food security of the five African countries and the allocated amounts of Korean ARD grants. Conclusion: Therefore, selection criteria for ARD grant allocation should exist and policy suggestions are made for Korea to formulate more consistent and systemic strategies for ARD support in sub-Saharan countries.

Livestock is an integral part of agriculture and a prominent source of food. It contributes 40% of the global value of agricultural output and supports the livelihoods and food security of almost a billion people, especially in developing countries. There is nothing new in amalgamation of farm animals in agriculture system, but the debate questioning its existence and relevance is a rather new drift. The politics, the climate debate, the nutrition debate around livestock sector, especially levitating from industrial countries, needs to be sympathetic toward the millions of people, especially in developing countries, that continue to remain dependent on livestock as an important, or often the only, source of livelihood. This chapter looks at the diverse livestock agriculture systems in industrial and less developed countries and it’s policy implications. It re-examines the prevailing debates such as, the heat and meat debate, the zoonotic disease discussions, the debate on ethics around animal-source food and the debate of over- and undernutrition. The authors take a balanced view on the pros and cons of livestock sector, considering the global debates, but at the same time, looking at livestock sector’s socioeconomic and nutrition value for the poor. Take a global view, debate, campaign but don’t forget to also look at the sector from livelihood and food-security angle. The underline message of the chapter is to call for a bounteous outlook, evidence-based debate and equable policies.
