Lack of animal food availability to meet the needs of food security in Indonesia causes the government to import to various countries so that food stock needs are safe, this indicates that our country still depends on other countries to meet the needs of animal food, the lack of adequate empowerment of Ternak farmers, especially in West Sumatra made the writer to be the background for this research. To solve the problem of the lack of empowerment of Ternak farmers, the government has made innovations, by making the I application of Ternak and the application of data grouping . The method used in this research is descriptive by conducting interviews with several sources with qualitative analysis, the results obtained that the application provides benefits to Ternak farmers, this can be seen by increasing investors and increasing coordination between Ternak farmers.

This study focuses on the linkage between institutional changes and food security in Mtwara region. Institutional changes in terms of increase numbers of financial, commercial, hospitalizes, education, infrastructures and improved moral and altitudes of farmers have a direct relation with food availability and accessibility. Both formal and informal institutions have potentials to help improvement of food availability and accessibility. However, despite institutions dealing with food security having changed in Mtwara, food security is low. The fundamental question is which one among these institutions, has high impact on food security.This study sought to determine the linkage between institutional changes and food security in Mtwara region. The specific objectives of the study were to identify institutions existing and their functions at household level, analyze various sources of food grains and states of food security at the household level in Mtwara region, and assess the linkages between institutional changes and food security. Structured questionnaire, Focus Group Discussion and Oral interview had been useful for collecting primary information in which the best recorded interviewees were analyzed supplemented by documentaries (text and photography). Findings revealed that financial institutions and education have high impact on food security in the study area. Generally, this study concluded that banks, SACCOS, traditions (moral, attitudes, beliefs), and roadshave slightly difference effect on food security. Since 2010these institutions had been increased and improved and have a direct relation with food security.It is recommended that the, government and other stakeholders should create true transformation in rural people to provide them decent jobs, good living conditions, and different opportunities in order to maintain youth to stay in rural area for maximizing the food production. Further studies should be done on the factors influencing people to stay in rural areas in which agricultural activities are being done.

AbstractFood security becomes an aspect that needs to be considered, especially when the population and degradation of agricultural land are increasing. Many variables that affect the measurement of the food security index, and what is often used is the availability, affordability, and utilization of food. This study aims to determine the effect of food availability, affordability, and utilization variables on the food security index. This study uses a correlational design and multiple regression analysis techniques. All regions in Central Java Province were the objects of this study, there are 35 districts/cities. The results from this study showed that the three variables did not significantly influence the increase of the food security index. The result shows that the current food security index has been influenced by other variables.  Therefore, the government needs to examine more closely the new variables that affect the food security index in order to develop a strategy to improve the food security index in Central Java Province, especially in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. Keywords: Food Security Index; Food Affordability; Food Availability; Food Utilization

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze and examine the influence of the role of the central government, the role of local government, community participation, governance on the success of post-COVID-19 food security policies. Design/methodology/approach This study conducted a quantification study related to phenomena related to the success of post-COVID-19 food security policies. The data used are primary data with a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire. Data analysis using the measurement model Structural Equation Model (SEM). The population in this study was all people in the city of Bandung, Indonesia. Findings The role of the Central Government (X1), the role of the Local Government (X2) and Public Participation (X3) is very important for improving Governance (Y1) and Food Defense Policy (Y2). Thus, the conditions of the role of the Central Government (X1), the role of the Local Government (X2) and Public Participation (X3) must always be maintained. Efforts to maintain the role of the Central Government (X1) and the role of the Local Government (X2) can be done by paying attention to the organizing aspect. This indicator is known to have a very important influence in reflecting the role of the Central Government (X1) and the role of the Local Government (X2). On the other hand, efforts to increase Public Participation (X3) can be done by paying attention to the Psychological indicators (X31). Originality/value The government must take steps to prevent a food crisis. Apart from that, the government is also deemed necessary to map existing agricultural potentials, stabilize food prices, carry out consolidation related to agricultural land and also make regulations related to existing food problems. Apart from the role of the government, the public can also take part in maintaining food security to avoid a food crisis. Communities have the opportunity to build food sovereignty and self-sufficiency. During a pandemic like this, people tend to be more creative and can be creative to outsmart existing situations. This includes maintaining access to food. The community is expected to have the awareness to undertake at least independent planting to meet their own food needs.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Medir la incidencia de la eficiencia de gobierno y la calidad de vida, como factores de la competitividad de los municipios del estado de Campeche del periodo 1998 a 2007 bajo variables estructurales socio-económicas. Material y método: El estudio presenta un enfoque cuantitativo basado en mediciones numéricas y análisis estadístico que establecen patrones de comportamiento y que derivan en resultados de competitividad, sin embargo éstos no son explicativos de las variables por lo que, aunque no se utilizan como observaciones centrales, existen elementos cualitativos que apoyan el resultado cuantitativo del estudio. La metodología desarrollada proporciona un indicador de la competitividad territorial a nivel municipal considerando elementos socioeconómicos propios del contexto del sureste mexicano. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que la calidad de vida de los habitantes de los municipios con actividad agropecuaria y menor población es más alta que la obtenida en la capital del estado con la mayor concentración de población y servicios públicos. Conclusiones: Los valores más altos respecto a la eficiencia del gobierno del estado de Campeche, no necesariamente los obtiene la administración de la capital del estado como normalmente se espera, partiendo del hecho de que la asignación de recursos generalmente se distribuye con base al número de habitantes y a su recaudación. ABSTRACT Objective: To measure the impact of the government efficiency and the life quality both as factors of the competitiveness in the municipalities of the state of Campeche from 1998 to 2007 under socioeconomic variable structures. Material and method: This research shows both a quantitative approach based on numerical measures and a statistical analysis that establish patterns of behavior whose results can be observed in competitiveness. However, these results are not explanatory of the variables, so even though they are not used as main observations, there are qualitative elements that support the quantitative result of this work. The methodology used provides a territorial competitiveness indicator at a municipality level considering socio-economic elements related to the context of the southeast region of Mexico. Results: The results show that the life quality of the inhabitants of the municipalities that have agricultural activities and less population is higher than the one obtained in those inhabitants who live in the capital of the state where there is more concentration of population and public services. Conclusions: The highest values regarding the efficiency of the government in the state of Campeche are not necessarily obtained by the administration of the state capital as they are normally expected, due to the fact that the financial allocation is generally distributed according to the number of inhabitants and its financial collection.

In Canada, grocery stores and supermarket shelves display a wide variety of food for consumers. However, newcomer refugees face different challenges in terms of the availability and accessibility of sufficient, nutritionally adequate and culturally familiar foods for consumption upon arrival to Canada that interrupt their integration process in a new society. This study will provide a review of the literature on food insecurity among newcomer refugees in Canada from 2009-2019. This review, demonstrates that refugees in Canada suffer higher incidents of food insecurity than immigrants and Canadians. Existing research also indicate that food security in the case of refugees need to be perceived more than availability and accessibility of safe and nutritious foods, require provision of culturally acceptable foods. Access to culturally familiar foods may not be possible in many instances, but the negative effects of such challenges put refugees in situations of stress and anxiety in their new home.

Food Needs

Food security is very much needed during the Covid-19 pandemic, where all activities are limited due to lockdown. The government advocates maintaining distance from each other and avoiding crowds. This socialization is to create a contribution to society in facing the Covid-19 pandemic to maintain food availability independently by inviting people to independently create living pharmacies and nutritional plants. So the hope is that residents do not need to shop for food needs outside the home because of the availability of various vegetables in the yard of the house. Student learning is also hampered. Because it is replaced by online learning, students have difficulty understanding the material, so parental guidance is needed.

Poverty Levels

South Africa’s past policy of apartheid has contributed to some of the socio-economic challenges the country faces today. Some of the challenges include grinding poverty levels, increasing inequality and unemployment among large sections of the population. The constitution of the country makes provision for property and land rights as strategies for addressing some of the past injustices, ensuring food insecurity and sustainable livelihoods. A number of polices have been drafted in this regard, but it is acknowledged that some of the policies that have been adopted by the government have not yielded the desired result leading to the fear that if the situation is not radically addressed may lead to unintended consequences. This paper assesses a number of polices, programs, approaches and strategies regarding land reform policies have that been put into place, most of which have not worked as expected including the fact that the youth have not been factored into most of these programs and policies. This article advocates for the youth to be factored into all land reform and food security policies and programs as a way of capacitating them and getting the youth to see agriculture as a career choice to ensure future food security for the nation, while at the same time addressing youth unemployment and rural poverty. Keywords: land reform, youth, food security, livelihoods, development, policy. JEL Classification: Q15, Q18, O2
