<p>One of the next development agendas is quality human capital improvement. However, the progress is affected by proportion of food insecure households not insignificantly improving. It is similar to prevalence of stunted under-five-year-old children as high as 27.9%. This paper is a critical review aiming to analyze magnitude, determinant, impact and policy alternative related with food and nutrition insecurity alleviation. Food and nutrition insecurity could be seen from perspectives of areas (island/district/city), households and individuals. Currently, there are five indicators used by the government to calculate food insecurity including three global indicators and 2 country indicators resulting in different proportion of households with food and nutrition security. There are various interlinked determinants consisting of purchasing power, sociocultural aspects, infrastructure, and natural resources. Therefore, efforts to reduce these problems should be comprehensive, sustainable and consistent in planning and implementation. Policy on self-sufficiency should be developed on the specific regions based on local resources and culture. The policy should be implemented through community empowerment especially among the poor for improving income and basic infrastructure in insecure areas. To achieve the goals, there should be collaboration between governments and representatives at central and local levels, as well as individuals.</p>

The Impact

Abstract The COVID-19 and partial lockdown has brought significant effects on the entire economy, especially on food security and job losses. This study was carried out in Asokwa Municipal with the objective of examining the impact of COVID-19 disease and its related lockdown on food and nutrition security and job losses. The study site form part of the cities in Ghana to experience the partial lockdown, hence it qualifies for the selection. Both primary and secondary data were used. By means of purposive sampling technique, fifty respondents were selected as sample size. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive and narrative posture to the presentation, discussion and analysis of data. Open-ended questionnaire and a checklist were used for data collection through semi-structured interviews. The results revealed that, food and nutrition insecurity, job loss and income reductions are still very common, affecting participants livelihood. Disproportionally affected are households whose income comes from farming, transporters, informal labour, as well as marketers.It was concluded that food insecurity is not outside the impact of COVID-19 and its associated partial lockdown. Food and nutrition security are the global concern at present circumstances. The supply chain has been hit hardest by COVID-19, which causes food insecurity of most vulnerable segment of population which put them at risk. And also, most of the migrant, informal, seasonal farm workers were losing their jobs which may affect their demand for food. Therefore, the government should step-up the measures to control the pandemic without disturbing the food supply chain. The development and use of online marketing strategies where people can make orders of various produce and booked for purchases and or deliveries during a stated time range should be promoted.

Despite aquaculture being hailed as the fastest growing farming sector in the world, South African aquaculture is still lagging behind. This article aims to highlight challenges (mostly beyond their control) that South Africa’s emerging aquaculture entrepreneurs have to endure in order to find a breakthrough into the industry. Availability of necessary resources such as land, water, infrastructure,financial support and access to markets, as well as crime are among challenges faced by these entrepreneurs on a daily basis. Limited human resources in capacity building, skills and aquaculture expertise also hinders the development and expansion of aquaculture in South Africa. Complex legislation governing aquaculture further limits the development of this sector to prospective investors. Fish and machinery theft in fish farms has an adverse effect, which had resulted in many enterprises closing down in recent years. South Africa is not a traditional fish-eating nation and this phenomenon has seen many emerging entrepreneurs struggling to locally commercialize their produce. It is well known that fish consumption provides human nutrition with essential nutrients necessary for normal body function. Thus,aquaculture has the potential to contribute to food and nutrition security and alleviate poverty in rural communities. However, plenty of initiatives need to be developed by government and the private sector to develop a sustainable aquaculture industry. These initiatives should involve the establishment of an aquaculture friendly legislation that would support emerging aquaculture entrepreneurs. Several financial institutions view aquaculture as a high-risk business,and as a consequence,decline financial support or loan requests from emerging farmers.Focused research as a strategic initiative to develop aquaculture species that would be first priority for local markets is encouraged. This article explores the challenges facing emerging entrepreneurs and suggests possible solutions that might assist in the development of the aquaculture sector in South Africa. We postulate that constructive and regular engagements between the government and private sector is a key to a sustainable and prosperous aquaculture sector in South Africa.

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Human Development Index (HDI) on development trend during 1980-2012 in Indonesia improved, but food insecurity is still frequently found and prone to chronic malnutrition. The paper aims to analyze the magnitude and characteristics of food insecurity and nutrition vulnerability as well as to identify their causes. Thus, it is expected that the incident case management can be handled earlier. Periodically performing and updating food and nutrition insecurity mapping are very relevant. The level of food insecurity and malnutrition in Indonesia is almost high. In relation to the MDG target, conditions are still far from the targeted magnitude. It requires a breakthrough in reducing the prevalence of malnutrition among infants and energy deficit population. In addition, it needs sustainable food supply by increasing food production through food self-sufficiency. Thus, food and nutrition security approach is alternative to implement for handling food insecurity and malnutrition by increasing cross-sector synergy.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Selama 1990-2012 trend perkembangan Human Development Index (HDI) di Indonesia membaik, namun masih banyak kejadian rawan pangan maupun rawan gizi kronis. Tulisan ini bertujuan menganalisis besaran, identifikasi dan karakteristik rawan pangan dan rawan gizi serta penyebabnya. Dengan demikian diharapkan akan lebih dini dalam penanganan kasus kejadian tersebut. Pemutakhiran pemetaan kerawanan/kerentanan pangan dan gizi secara berkala sangat relevan dilakukan. Data empirik menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kerawanan pangan dan gizi di Indonesia tergolong mendekati tinggi. Dikaitkan dengan target sasaran dari MDGs, kondisi tersebut masih jauh dari besaran yang ditargetkan. Untuk itu perlu terobosan dalam menurunkan prevalensi rawan pangan dan gizi kronis, yakni menurunkan prevalensi gizi kurang pada balita dan penduduk yang defisit energi. Selain itu, perlu adanya penyediaan pangan yang berkelanjutan dengan meningkatkan produksi pangan melalui kemandirian pangan. Mengingat pentingnya perwujudan ketahanan pangan dan gizi, maka ke depan diharapkan pendekatan ketahanan pangan harus dipadukan dengan pendekatan penanganan masalah gizi. Dengan demikian pendekatan ketahanan pangan dan gizi menjadi alternatif untuk diimplementasikan dalam penanganan masalah rawan pangan dan gizi dengan meningkatkan sinergi lintas sektor.</p>

A significant concern with the food security issue worldwide is indigenous peoples and their food resources. The indigenous peoples of Papua are still very dependent on rice, a heavily imported commodity. During the global pandemic, the indigenous peoples of Papua faced the issue of food supply and food resilience. Simultaneously, Indonesia has the largest sago (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) palm-growing areas, accounting for over half (51%) of the 2.3 million hectares of sago worldwide, and about 90% of sago is estimated to be in Papua and Maluku. Indigenous food crops such as sago are exceptionally resilient to adverse local environments, highlighting their crucial role in ensuring food and nutrition security, particularly during a natural disaster. However, despite sago’s multiple uses and benefits, it is still poorly evaluated as a food resource by the government, with consumption at relatively low levels. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art regarding indigenous peoples and their food resources, focusing on why sago is essential, not only for the indigenous peoples of Papua but also for the possibility of introducing sago to the world.

The successes of development within an agricultural sector in a country should be reflected by the ability of food self-sufficiency, at least in the food security. Currently, the food security is not considerably sufficient to represent the identity of an agricultural country. Yet, the government also have difficulties to reach the target of food self-sufficiencies until they finally make some policies to achieve the aim. One of the policies is a food diversification program reflected in the Presidential Regulation of Indonesia No. 22 in 2009 that regulatesfood consumption diversification acceleration policy based on local resources. It is prepared to reduce the problems that appear recently because most of Indonesian use rice as their staple foods. Meanwhile, the rice production is unbalanced if compared with the level of consumer demands. In fact, if it is considered in terms of fulfillment, in addition to rice, there are still a lot of staple foods that can be developed. The aims of this research are: 1) Identifying the characteristics of respondents in Depok city. 2) Analyzing the influences of the cultural, social, personal, and motivation variables to the perception of non-rice food consumption societies in Depok city. 3). Analyzing the influences of the cultural, social, personal, and motivation variables simultaneously to the perception of non-rice food consumption societies in Depok city.

In Rwanda, livestock plays an integral part in the national economy. It contributes to improve the socio-economic status and wellbeing of Rwandans, fight malnutrition, and promote food and nutrition security. Over the past 2 decades, the government of Rwanda, in collaboration with different actors and stakeholders, has put in place strategic and implementation plans to strengthen livestock production in Rwanda. Although a remarkable step has been made in increasing animal productivity, there are still a lot of constraints and challenges in this sector. The scarcity of animal feeds is one of the main challenges that impair the development of the animal sector in Rwanda. In this review, the current status of the feed sector, future goals, and strategies to tackle and sustain animal feed resources in Rwanda are highly discussed. To the end of this article, some recommendations are made to the farmers, feed manufacturers and the government. Considering the available data, investment opportunities for feed production in Rwanda should be evaluated. In addition, there are significant shortcomings in the field of food safety and the provision. The development of the needs in this sector includes entrepreneurship opportunities.

The government of Indonesia has faced several challenges to its goal of achieving salt self-sufficiency, necessitating the formulation and implementation of strategic steps to increase salt production. Among its islands, Java has a great deal of potential for salt production, as does the Special Region of Yogyakarta, where the government has initiated salt farming development as part of its coastal community empowerment program. This study aimed to (1) evaluate the land suitability of existing salt farms and (2) identify potential sites and make a productivity estimation of salt farms in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, with the broad objective of demonstrating a rapid land assessment for salt farming development using the combination GIS and field survey. The approach was carried out in three phases; i.e., the analyses of land availability, land characteristics, and land recommendations. On-screen digitizing using GIS was applied to identify land availability through several data sources (satellite imagery and a land-use map from the Indonesian topographic map). This process led to the discovery of 19 sites. Land characteristics and land recommendations analysis were carried out in those sites, resulting in multiple land suitability classes, mostly in the S2 class (moderately suitable). Several impediment factors, such as wind, material texture, and temperature, were also identified, along with other obstacles including high tide and tsunami exposure. In terms of supporting the Indonesian salt self-sufficiency program, these results are significant, with salt productivity estimations of the potential sites meeting the target set by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of Indonesia.

Severity Of The Disease

The pandemic Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) which has hampered the globe since December 2019 has endangered the livelihood of human race. Corona Virus Disease is a new strain of coronavirus that twitches with symptoms of fever, sore throat with dry cough, body ache, fatigue, anosmia (loss of sense of smell), dysgeusia (loss of sense of taste) resembling the ailments of common flu within two to fourteen days of exposure. Recently, emesis and diarrhoea are also seen as indicators in most of the patients. When the severity of the disease increases, the pulmonary system is impaired, and the artificial respiratory system support becomes essential for survival. It is not only the ratio of morbidity or mortality that prerequisites insights on discussion about the pandemic, rather there are many other arenas that needs to be pondered. Although, the preventive measures like personal hygiene, social distancing, self-quarantine in case of suspicion, followed by the individuals and the measures implemented by the Government like curfew, have proven effective in reducing the number of victims to coronavirus, the socio-economic dangers caused to human society is at large. Hence, this study aims to review the threats and challenges posed by the pandemics, like Corona Virus Disease on the grounds of education, economic security, food and nutrition security, physical health and psychological health.
