The study analyses a food self-sufficiency village programme (DMP programme) at household level in the Central Java province of Indonesia. The data of the DMP programme was collected through unstructured and semi-structured questionnaires and focus-group discussions. The survey was conducted in four villages, each consisting of 100 samples based on a purposive and clustered sampling technique. The study compares the implication between indicators before and after the policy. It was found that the impact of the DMP programme on the villages was positive. The level of poverty in each village has been significantly reduced by 8-40% after the introduction of the programme. The composite food security analysis at the household level shows the positive impacts of the programme.

The study focuses on analyzing the food self-sufficiency village program at household level in Indonesia. The before and after analysis and food and security composite analysis at household level are used as tools. It involved comparing the implication and impact between indicators before and after the implementation of policy. Quantitative data were used to compare major indicators and qualitative data for minor indicators. In general, the impact of the DMP Programme on the villages was positive. The level of poverty in each village has been significantly reduced by 8-40% after the introduction of the programme. Composite food security analysis at household level shows the positive impacts of DMP Programme implementation. This is shown by several indicators, including the rise of 4-7% availability, reduction in poverty by 8-40%, and decrease in people working fewer than 15 hours per week by 10-20%.

Food Expenditure

Abstract Food security is reflected in two indicators, the level of energy intake and the proportion of household food expenditure (PFE). In 2015, the Tawangmangu sub-district in Karanganyar, Central Java, experienced a rice deficit, causing rice prices to hinder food access. It affects the food expenditures of carrot farm households in the Tawangmangu sub-district. The income of carrot farmers, which is highly unpredictable, affects nutrition fulfillment to determine food security. This study analyzes PFE, energy and protein consumption, and food security of carrot farm households in Tawangmangu, Karanganyar. The number of respondents in this study was 40 carrot farm households, and the sampling method used the accidental sampling technique. The data analysis method in this study used household income and expenditures, PFE, food consumption, and food security. The results showed that the average PFE of the household was 44%. The average energy and protein consumptions are 1,803 kcal/person/day and 58 grams/person/day with 84% energy level intake and 96% protein intake. The distribution of household food security conditions are 62.5% food secure, 5% food vulnerable, 30% food less secure, and 2.5% are food insecure.

The Impact

Background: The war in Syria has left millions struggling to survive amidst violent conflict, pervasive unemployment, and food insecurity. Although international assistance funding is also at an all-time high, it is insufficient to meet the needs of conflict-affected populations, and there is increasing pressure on humanitarian stakeholders to find more efficient, effective ways to provide assistance. Objective: To evaluate 3 different assistance programs (in-kind food commodities, food vouchers, and unrestricted vouchers) in Idleb Governorate of Syria from December 2014 and March 2015. Methods: The evaluation used repeated survey data from beneficiary households to determine whether assistance was successful in maintaining food security at the household level. Shopkeeper surveys and program monitoring data were used to assess the impact on markets at the district/governorate levels and compare the cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness of transfer modalities. Results: Both in-kind food assistance and voucher programs showed positive effects on household food security and economic measures in Idleb; however, no intervention was successful in improving all outcomes measured. Food transfers were more likely to improve food access and food security than vouchers and unrestricted vouchers. Voucher programs were found to be more cost-efficient than in-kind food assistance, and more cost-effective for increasing household food consumption. Conclusion: Continuation of multiple types of transfer programs, including both in-kind assistance and vouchers, will allow humanitarian actors to remain responsive to evolving access and security considerations, local needs, and market dynamics.

AbstractRussia’s food policy has been defined by the quest for food security for more than a decade, which in the Russian context includes import protectionism, self-sufficiency, and import substitution, marked by the adoption of Food Security Doctrines in 2010 and 2020. This chapter first investigates the impact of food security policy on domestic production. Food security policy has combined with an increase in state support for domestic production, leading to notable increases in output and self-sufficiency for selected commodities. The chapter also examines the impact of food security on agri-food exports, which have become a priority since 2018. Although Russia has become a leading exporter of wheat, the influence of food security is seen by the introduction of export quotas on grain starting in 2020. Despite protectionism, Russia has not withdrawn from the international food market but rather is an active and significant player as both food importer and exporter.

Red rice is a staple food and is known as germplasm in Gunungkidul Regency. Panggang District is one of the sub-districts that has low productivity in red rice farming. This study aims to determine the contribution of income, food security, and household welfare levels of dry land red rice farmers before Covid-19 and during Covid-19. This research was conducted in Panggang District which was determined purposively. The number of samples taken using the Slovin formula and obtained 100 respondents for sampling using simple random sampling. The data were analyzed using quantitative analysis in the form of farmer household income analysis, contribution analysis, food security analysis, and welfare analysis. The results showed that there was an impact during Covid-19 on the contribution of farmers' income which decreased. The level of food security of farmer households also has an impact, during Covid-19 the number of households in the food insecure category has increased. The level of welfare of farmer households measured using two indicators, namely the Purchasing Power of Farmers' Households and the Income Exchange Rate of the Perani Household showed the same results, namely the impact during Covid-19 was seen by the increase in households with the category of not being prosperous.

<p>Program Gerakan Tanam Cabai (Gertam Cabai) dilatarbelakangi oleh fluktuasi harga cabai yang berlangsung tiap tahun. Program ini bertujuan membantu penyediaan cabai secara berkelanjutan pada tingkat rumah tangga. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengkaji sejauh mana pengaruh Gertam Cabai terhadap kemandirian pemenuhan kebutuhan cabai tingkat rumah tangga di Kota Bogor dan Jakarta. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah statistik deskriptif dan impact analysis. Pada metode impact analysis dilakukan pengukuran nilai indikator sebelum dan setelah intervensi program pada dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok yang mendapat intervensi program (Kelompok Aksi) dan kelompok yang tidak mendapat intervensi program (Kelompok Kontrol). Pada masing-masing kelompok dilakukan penghitungan selisih nilai indikator pada saat impact dan baseline. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program Gertam Cabai belum memberikan pengaruh terhadap pemenuhan kebutuhan cabai tingkat rumah tangga. Hal ini terlihat dari: (1) tidak adanya perbedaan volume pembelian cabai antara sebelum dan sesudah Gertam Cabai pada kelompok penerima, dan (2) tidak adanya perbedaan volume pembelian cabai sesudah periode program tersebut antara kelompok penerima dan non penerima. Hal ini disebabkan karena banyak tanaman cabai yang mati, cabai yang dibagikan tidak sesuai dengan preferensi konsumen, dan cabai merupakan komoditas yang bersifat inelastis. Terdapat beberapa hal yang perlu diperhatikan apabila program itu masih akan dilaksanakan, yaitu: (1) jenis cabai dalam program itu agar disesuaikan dengan preferensi konsumen, dan (2) pembangunan sistem dan tatanan kelembagaan untuk memastikan keberlanjutan program meliputi sistem pembagian benih, penentuan kelompok penerima, pendampingan pra dan pasca pembagian benih, serta pembekalan teknis budidaya kepada kelompok penerima.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p>Gerakan tanam cabai; Rumah tangga; Impact analysis</p><p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p>Chilli planting program was motivated by the fluctuation of chili price every year. The objective of this program was to assist the household level for having sustainable supply of chilli. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of chilli Planting Program on the self sufficiency of household chilli needs in Bogor and Jakarta. The method of analysis used is descriptive statistics and impact analysis. In the impact analysis method, the indicator measurement before and after the program intervention was done in two groups: the group receiving the program (Action Group) and the group that did not participate in the program (Control Group). The next step is to calculate the difference between the indicators value at impact and baseline on each group. The results showed that chilli planting program has not affected chilli self sufficiency at household level. This can be seen from: (1) there is no difference in the volume of chilli purchasing before and after chilli planting program in the action group, and (2) there is no difference in the volume of chilli purchasing after chilli planting program period between action and control group. This is because a lot of chilli plants were dead, the chili was distributed not in accordance with consumer preferences, and chilli is an inelastic commodity. Some suggestions that should be considered if there is a continuation of the chilli planting program are (1) distributed chilli type has to satisfy household preferences, and (2) the program should be equipped by simultaneous development of system and institutional arrangement to ensure its sustainability, includes a system for distributing seeds, determining beneficiary groups, providing pre and post seed distribution, and providing technical training to the recipient groups.</p><p> </p>

Abstract Background Food insecurity impacts nearly one-in-four Latinx households in the United States and has been exacerbated by the novel coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic. Methods We examined the impact of COVID-19 on household and child food security in three preexisting, longitudinal, Latinx urban cohorts in the San Francisco Bay Area (N = 375 households, 1875 individuals). Households were initially recruited during pregnancy and postpartum at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) and UCSF Benioff prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. For this COVID-19 sub-study, participants responded to a 15-min telephonic interview. Participants answered 18 questions from the US Food Security Food Module (US HFSSM) and questions on types of food consumption, housing and employment status, and history of COVID-19 infection as per community or hospital-based testing. Food security and insecurity levels were compared with prior year metrics. Results We found low levels of household food security in Latinx families (by cohort: 29.2%; 34.2%; 60.0%) and child food security (56.9%, 54.1%, 78.0%) with differences between cohorts explained by self-reported levels of education and employment status. Food security levels were much lower than those reported previously in two cohorts where data had been recorded from prior years. Reported history of COVID-19 infection in households was 4.8% (95% Confidence Interval (CI); 1.5–14.3%); 7.2% (95%CI, 3.6–13.9%) and 3.5% (95%CI, 1.7–7.2%) by cohort and was associated with food insecurity in the two larger cohorts (p = 0.03; p = 0.01 respectively). Conclusions Latinx families in the Bay Area with children are experiencing a sharp rise in food insecurity levels during the COVID-19 epidemic. Food insecurity, similar to other indices of poverty, is associated with increased risk for COVID-19 infection. Comprehensive interventions are needed to address food insecurity in Latinx populations and further studies are needed to better assess independent associations between household food insecurity, poor nutritional health and risk of COVID-19 infection.

Access To Food

This paper censoriously assesses the role of women in improving access to food at the household level. The role of women is essential in the production of food as caretakers of household food security. However, their role is not well recognised, more especially in policymaking and resource allocation. This study was conducted through a qualitative approach with an exploratory research design. The participants were sampled with convenience sampling and interviewed with semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was employed as a tool for data analysis. The study adopted feminisation of poverty as a primary theory of this paper. Certain aspects of the study reveal that women have been struggling to access food from the diversity of retail vents that are obtainable in town because of low income and limitations of transport service. This is a constraint to women who depend on the off-farm sources of income because their household’s livelihood depends on purchasing food from retail vents. Those who rely on home gardens were experiencing low productivity and the unsustainability of their gardens. This has been caused by water scarcity and climate change. Therefore, women must be provided with training that seeks to develop their skills on how to make effective use of home gardens so that food security can be ensured.
