Because of the covid-19 virus pandemic in 2020, Indonesia is implementing large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) to protect healthy people from contracting the covid-19 virus. So most residents of Kampung Muka losing their jobs and unable to buy food for their daily needs. So they have to rely on the government’s non-cash food assistance program (BPNT). During the covid-19 pandemic occurred, the residents of Kampung Muka could not survive in their village and had to rely on government assistance to survive. The design method is the everydayness approach, by adding new daily activities in Kampung Muka, namely horticultural agriculture so that the residents can get a new source of livelihood. Also, horticultural agriculture is a source of food for residents during emergencies such as PSBB. Meanwhile, the commercial section is used as a place to sell food products and makes the view of horticultural agriculture a commercial attraction. Keywords: Commercial; Future; Government program; Horticultural agriculture Abstrak Dengan adanya pandemi virus Covid-19 pada tahun 2020, Indonesia memberlakukan pembatasan sosial berskala besar (PSBB) untuk melindungi orang yang sehat agar tidak tertular virus covid-19. Mengakibatkan kebanyakan warga Kampung Muka kehilangan pekerjaannya dan tidak dapat membeli pangan untuk kebutuhan hidup mereka sehari hari. Sehingga mereka harus bergantung pada program bantuan pangan non tunai (BPNT) pemerintah. Pada kondisi yang terjadi saat pandemi covid-19, warga Kampung Muka tidak dapat bertahan hidup di dalam kampung mereka sendiri dan harus bergantung pada bantuan pemerintah untuk bertahan hidup. Metode perancangan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan everydayness, dengan menambah aktivitas keseharian yang baru di Kampung Muka yaitu pertanian hortikultura, agar para warga mendapatkan sumber pencaharian yang baru. Selain itu, pertanian hortikultura juga sebagai sumber pangan para warga saat kondisi darurat seperti PSBB. Sedangkan bagian komersial, dimanfaatkan sebagai tempat untuk menjual hasil pangan dan menjadikan view pertanian hortikultura sebagai daya tarik komersial.

The purpose of this project was to determine whether consistent food assistance program participation or changes in participation over time mediated or moderated the effect of federal nutrition education through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) on food security and determine the associations of SNAP-Ed program delivery characteristics with change in food security. This secondary analysis used data from a randomized controlled trial from September 2013 through April 2015. SNAP-Ed-eligible participants (n = 328; ≥18 years) in households with children were recruited from 39 counties in Indiana, USA. The dependent variable was one year change in household food security score measured using the United States Household Food Security Survey Module. Assessment of mediation used Barron-Kenny analysis and moderation used interactions of food assistance program use and changes over time with treatment group in general linear regression modeling. Program delivery characteristics were investigated using mixed linear regression modeling. Results showed that neither consistent participation nor changes in food assistance program participation over time mediated nor moderated the effect of SNAP-Ed on food security and neither were SNAP-Ed program delivery characteristics associated with change in food security over the one year study period. SNAP-Ed directly improved food security among SNAP-Ed-eligible Indiana households with children regardless of food assistance program participation and changes over time or varying program delivery characteristics.

Abstract: Multi-stakeholder processes - as a necessary part in the development of public policies - can provide diverse perspectives to inform and to improve food security policy-making. Iran’s National Food Assistance Program (NFAP) is one of the major welfare programs in Iran that reduces food insecutiry to low-income households. This study aimed to identify and to categorize actual and potential stakeholders in NFAP using the stakeholder salience model. According to Mitchell’s theory, stakeholders’ attributes (power, legitimacy, and urgency) were assessed based on the nature of their interactions, roles, and level of engagement. Results revealed a number of significant but marginalized stakeholders, including Iranian Ministry of Health (office of community nutrition improvement), academia, center for food and nutrition research, target group, charities, and international organizations, who have not received any targeted organizational attention and priority to their claims. The unbalanced attention provided to some stakeholder groups characterized as “definitive” and “dominant” and ignoring some important ones will jeopardize long-term viability and undermine support for the program with inevitable declines in legitimacy. Understanding the change in the stakeholders’ characteristics is the main variable to determine the allocation of organizational resources in response to different and rising stakeholders’ demands and possibly the projects outcomes. This will facilitate and enhance the possibility of knowledge exchange and learning, and greater trust among stakeholders during the food and nutrition policy-making process.
