Food is a basic need for humans therefore its availability must be guaranteed. The Bali Provincial Agriculture and Food Security Service (2020) states that the proportion of food expenditure for the people of Bali Province in 2019 is 43.92% and is still classified as food resistant, but doesn’t guarantee food security at the household level. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused difficulties in fulfilling food needs because losing jobs has added to the challenge of realizing food security. This study aims at determining how the household food security of farmers seen based on the proportion of household food expenditure, level of energy consumption (TKE) and factors that affect household food security. This research was conducted in Subak Sembung with 36 farmers as sample and analyzed using descriptive methods of cross analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that most of the farmer households were in a food vulnerable condition because there were many households with a high proportion of food expenditure (>60%). Farm income, non-farm income, food expenditure and rice prices variables have a significant effect on the farmer households food security. Improving food security conditions are expected by reducing the proportion of food expenditure in each household.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh faktor tingkat pendapatan rumah tangga, tingkat pendidikan ibu rumah tangga, jumlah anggota rumah tangga, dan umur perkawinan terhadap pengeluaran pangan rumah tangga didaerah penelitian dan untuk menganalisis tingkat ketahanan pangan rumah tangga dilihat dari presentase pengeluaran untuk pangan pada rumah tangga di daerah penelitian. Metode penentuan daerah yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah purposive dengan pertimbangan bahwa Desa Karang Gading merupakan Desa dengan jumlah rumah tangga terbesar yang ada di kecamatan Secanggang. Metode penentuan jumlah sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode slovin. Sedangkan metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda dan metode kuantitatif dengan melihat persentase pengeluaran pangan. Dari hasil penelitian, diperoleh bahwa secara serempak keempat faktor tersebut berpengaruh nyata terhadap pengeluaran konsumsi pangan rumah tangga. Secara parsial faktor pendapatan rumah tangga dan jumlah anggota keluarga berpengaruh nyata terhadap pengeluaran konsumsi pangan sedangkan faktor tingkat pendidikan ibu rumah tangga dan umur perkawinan tidak berpengaruh nyata. Serta rumah tangga yang ada di Desa Karang Gading termasuk rumah tangga tidak tahan pangan karena sebanyak 65% sampel rumah tangga memiliki persentase pengeluaran pangan yang tinggi.   This study aimed to analyze the effect of household income level, household level of education, number of household members, and age of marriage on household food expenditure in the study area and to analyze the level of household food security seen from the percentage of food expenditure in the household in the research area. The method of determining the area used in this study was purposive with the consideration that Karang Gading Village was a village with the largest number of households in the district of Secanggang. The method of determining the number of samples used in this study was the Slovin method. While the data analysis method used was multiple linear regression analysis and quantitative methods by looking at the percentage of food expenditure. From the results of the study, it was found that these four factors had a significant effect on household food consumption expenditure simultaneously. Partially, the household income factor and the number of family members had a significant effect on food consumption while the factors of the education level of housewives and the age of marriage were not significant.

The low income of fishermen makes it difficult to fulfill basic household food needs and non-food basic needs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of energy adequacy and the level of protein adequacy and identify the factors that affect the food security of fishermen's households. The first analysis was carried out descriptively by combining food expenditure and energy consumption indicators. The second analysis uses a logit model regression analysis. The analysis results show that the food security condition of fishermen's households is at the food shortage level of 43.34%. Fisherman households in the food insecurity criteria are 10%, and food security is 23.33%. It means that more than 60% of fishermen's household income is spent on food consumption. The low income received has resulted in fisherman households being unable to allocate food expenditures to meet the nutritional adequacy of their household. The factors that influence the food security of fishermen's households are the size of the household members, household expenditures, and the nutritional knowledge of housewives. Local governments should coordinate with other institutions to formulate policies and plans for economic development in coastal areas.

The KRPL (Sustainable Reserve Food Garden) program is an alternative in realizing food self-sufficiency to achieve food security during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study is to determine the impact of the KRPL program on household food expenditure patterns, food consumption patterns, and consumption levels by using a questionnaire interview method in 8 active KRPL groups in the city of Kediri with a total of 80 respondents. The result of this study indicates that as much as 70% of the harvest in process for the food and nutritional needs of the family, 38.75% think that the yields from their yards can meet their food needs. The yields of each KRPL are different due to several factors, namely, the area of land, the awareness of group members, the weather, and the desire of the members to plant types of plants. From the amount of harvest, it can be seen that the level of success of the KRPL program has a positive impact on household food consumption patterns. A yard or harvest yields are still dominant for household consumption. This condition supports the main concept of the KRPL program, namely to strengthen household food security.

Household food security level essentially is the ability of households meet food sufficiency. These capabilities are greatly influenced by many complex factors, but  generally  associated  with  changes  in  behavioral  aspects  of  food  production, consumption and allocation of households resources. The purpose of this study was to analyze  the  level  of  household  food  security  based  on  low  land  rice  irrigated.  The study was conducted in three districts of rice production center in the province of Bali in 2012, i.e. Tabanan district, Gianyar and Buleleng. Data collection was conducted through interviews with 216 respondents. Household food security was measured by cross classification of the share of food expenditure and consumption of energy. The results  of  the  analysis  showed  58.33  %  of  households  have  a  lower  share  of  food expenditure  and  41.67%  household  have  higher  share  of  food  expenditure.  In aggregate  86.57%  of  farm  households  is  quite  in  consuming  energy  and  13.43% is less  in  energy  consume.  The  level  of  household  food  security  of  farmers  in  the aggregate 49.07% of the household were categorized as secure, 37.9% as vulnerable, 8.79% as insufficient, and 4.17% as insecure. There is a correlation between the level of  household food  security  with  age  of  housewife,  level  of  education,  farm  size  and household income.

This study empirically tests the benefit of the smallholders from organic farming in Bangladesh through their improved food security which is realised from their increased productivity and farm income. The respondent smallholders were picked up from two districts of Bangladesh namely Mymensingh and Bogra. The respondents (80) were the beneficiaries of the organic agriculture promotion project of Bangladesh Agricultural University. Three years data were collected by the project staff and were crosschecked with the base line. Findings of the study explored that before joining with the project extreme majority (93%) of the small farmers were involved in rice mono-culture and more than half (67%) of them were food deficit. The study also revealed that at the initial year of joining organic agriculture project their farm productivity was 10–12% lesser and it increased continually in the successive years. In some cases, it crossed the yield compared to conventional farming. The findings of the study showed that 100% of the farmers have followed crop diversification with high value vegetables and spices along with rice. Due to adoption of organic practices, the cost of production of the smallholders has declined from 27% to 36% and additionally they enjoy 10% to 15% premium prices which have enhanced their farm income significantly. The study shows that 62.5% of the smallholder farmers had attained household food security due to adoption of organic agriculture. Thus, adoption of organic agriculture effectively increased smallholders’ access to surplus safe food. However, the study also explored that farm size, extension media contact, access to assured market and access to institutional support are the most important factors in improving smallholders’ household food security through participation in organic agriculture programme. Thus, it can be concluded that organic agriculture can feed the smallholders in a better way.

Purpose – The purpose of this study was to investigate the socioeconomic impact on perceived household food security in the North Luwu District of South Sulawesi Province in the eastern part of Indonesia. In Indonesia, 87 million people are presently vulnerable to food insecurity. Thus, the United Nations Development Programme’s primary millennium development goal for Indonesia is to halve the number of people who suffer from hunger by 2015. It is clear that food security at the household level is crucial to achieving this target. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 371 household heads were interviewed. The households’ perceptions of their food security status were captured by asking the household head the following question: “How do you perceive your household’s food security status during the last month”? Respondents could select from the following options: insecure, somewhat insecure, somewhat secure, secure and highly secure. Here, the household head’s answer is regarded as the household’s subjective food security status (SFSS). We then applied descriptive analysis and an ordered logit model to determine the socioeconomic factors that influence SFSS. Findings – As expected, in both analyses, household income and formal level of education have a strong relationship to SFSS. However, this study finds that food nutrition knowledge also shows a significant role in enhancing the probability that household SFSS will be in a better food security category. This could be a breakthrough in improving household food security status given the lack of formal education. Practical implications – Neighborhood resource-based food preparation counseling programs are essential. Existing food programs for Indonesian households should be reoriented and incorporated into the non-formal educational curriculum and should be carried out at the family level or in small groups to ensure that the message of the program is delivered effectively. In the short term, for non-farm households, the government should provide targeted households with crash programs such as revolving funds for household-level business activities. For farm households, ensuring that farming infrastructures, facilities and technologies are adequate and affordable is crucial to sustaining their production process. Originality/value – This is the first study to investigate the perceptions of household heads on their food security status in Indonesia. Most prior studies on household food security in Indonesia were conducted in response to Indonesia’s 1997 economic crisis and focused predominantly on Java, in the western part of Indonesia; there is little existing research on the eastern part of Indonesia. Moreover, this study is the first to emphasize the significant role of food nutrition knowledge in increasing the probability of household heads’ perceptions on their food security status being in a better category.

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Food security remains as a fundamental problem in most countries along with population increase, purchasing power improvement, and climate change. To support national food security, it is necessary to implement it at the households’ level such as farming on backyard land (pekarangan) areas. This paper aims to review the potencies, policies and programs, as well as constraints related with use of backyard land in supporting food security at households’ level. Backyard land is potential for farming in order to supply family food needs, especially vegetables, to reduce household food expenditure, and to increase the household income. Some constrains are found in backyard farming, such as less intensive cultivation, not a core business, lack of specific technology, and less field workers’ of assistance. Support from various stakeholders is necessary in order to improve backyard farming.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Ketahanan pangan akan tetap menjadi permasalahan pokok di sebagian besar negara di dunia seiring dengan semakin besar jumlah penduduk, peningkatan daya beli dan dinamika iklim global. Upaya membangun ketahanan pangan keluarga, salah satunya dapat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan sumberdaya yang tersedia, diantaranya melalui pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan.Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengulas potensi, kebijakan dan program, serta kendala pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan untuk mendukung ketahanan pangan, terutama di tingkat rumah tangga. Lahan pekarangan memiliki potensi dalam penyediaan bahan pangan keluarga, mengurangi pengeluaran rumah tangga untuk pembelian pangan dan meningkatkan pendapatan rumah tangga petani. Sejumlah kendala terkait masalah sosial, budaya, dan ekonomi masih dijumpai dalam program pemanfaatan  lahan pekarangan, diantaranya belum membudayanya budidaya pekarangan secara intensif, masih bersifat sambilan dan belum berorientasi pasar, kurang tersedianya teknologi budidaya spesifik pekarangan, serta proses pendampingan dari petugas yang belum memadai. Oleh karena itu diperlukan perencanaan yang matang dan dukungan lintas sektoral dalam pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan sehingga mampu lebih optimal dalam mendukung ketahanan pangan.</p>

Segment of the third world's poorest people live in households headed by women, because in these households there is no man who can give income. When female heads of families are in a poor position then their ability to meet food needs for family members bear is also questionable. For the case of West Sumatra, although women are culturally Minangkabau tribe, has a fairly dominant position in the division of inheritance, which means has the advantage economically, but not necessarily female heads of families in West Sumatera is able to create and maintain a stable food security for the household, especially if fosterage family not just the nuclear family only. The power and intervention of ‘mamak’ is very strong in the decision making of high inheritance. This phenomenon indicates that the Minangkabau women actually do not have control over resources, such as land and other high inheritance. Moving on from the facts presented above writer is interested to dig further in research on women's roles Minangkabau tribe who became head of the family for the creation of household food security, with the focus of study in the Eastern District of Padang.
