Utilization of Local Food Sources From the Dayak Etnicity of West Kutai as Monggomas Analog Rice to Support of Food Security

Community may be involved in food security program by utilizing local based food materials in their surrounding areas. Potency of local food in Indonesia can be used as an alternative for the staple food. Te huge number of housewives in Yogyakarta can support the family economy or reduce the household budget through the use of local food sources. Tis community service activities aiemed at providing an understanding of processing technology of non-rice and non wheat food resources to be utilized to achieve food security and improve household economy. Outcomes of this activity are non-rice food products as carbohydrates source and non - grain food diversifcation, an improved understanding of food processing technology, as well as increased understanding of marketing and entrepreneurship.

The Impact

The food security crisis and disproportionately high burden of dietary related disease amongst northern Indigenous populations in Canada continues to be a troubling reality with little sign of improvement. The Government of Canada is responding by developing programs to support local food initiatives for northern isolated communities. While such investments appear commendable, the impact of local food harvesting to improve food security has yet to be determined. While there are clear nutritional and cultural benefits to traditional food sources, communities face considerable barriers acquiring it in sufficient amounts because of historically imposed lifestyle changes that have increased food insecurity rates. This study responds by providing a novel multidisciplinary approach that draws from firsthand experiences working with First Nations community members in a remote subarctic region in northwestern, Ontario to estimate their community’s total food requirement and the amount of wild animal food sources needed to sustain yearly food intake. This transferrable energy demand approach will be critical for policy makers to put into perspective the amount of wild food needed to have an impact on food security rates and ultimately improve dietary related diseases. Novelty: • It will provide government policy makers information about current harvest yields in a remote northern First Nation to understand the potential contribution of traditional food to improve local food security • Provides Indigenous communities a means to assess local food resources to measure the caloric contributions of traditional foods toward household food security

Local Plants

The current pandemic of the Corona-19 virus not only affects social activities but also affects the food sector. Strong food security in the long term can be realized through a diversification program based on local wisdom by utilizing local plants. This study aims to determine the potential of local food sources that can be used as an alternative to food consumption in the regions and reduce dependence on food sources from outside the region in realizing food security during and after the Covid-19 pandemic (study on communities in the Mungku Baru Educational Forest area, Muhammadiyah University. Palangkaraya). The research was conducted in the educational forest area or Forest Area with Special Purpose (KHDTK), Mungku Baru Village, Rakumpit District, Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan Province. The research method is descriptive qualitative from the results of interviews. Data analysis using tabulation matrix. There are 33species of local plants used by the community. Utilization of these plants in the form of fruit, seed, peel of fruit, leaves, rubers, and young shoots by eating or cooking them. Cultivation has not been carried out, the community takes directly part of the plant to be consumed. Habitus of these plants in the form of trees, shrubs, lianas, grasses, shrubs and herbs. Existing local food sources can be used as an alternative for food consumption in the regions and reduce dependence on food sources from outside the region and can realize food security during and after the Covid-19 pandemic

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the food sources and acquisition practices used by homeless youth in Adelaide. This work is part of a larger study that aimed to examine the extent and nature of food insecurity among homeless youth.DesignCross-sectional design involving quantitative and qualitative methods.SettingFour health and welfare inner-city agencies serving homeless youth in Adelaide, South Australia.SubjectsA sample of 150 homeless youth aged between 15 and 24 years recruited from these agencies. Fifteen were selected via snowball sampling for interview.ResultsUse of welfare food sources was high (63%). Food from welfare agencies was supplemented by unorthodox food acquisition methods such as theft (65%), begging for money for food (61%), begging for food items (44%) and asking for help from friends and relatives (34%). Reasons given for non-usage of welfare food services included affordability, access, being too busy, shame or embarrassment.ConclusionsFood insecurity is a salient issue for some homeless youth in Adelaide. Clarifying food acquisition practices of food-insecure homeless youth is essential for rational planning and improvement of food-related services to meet their needs. Such an understanding also underpins the development of broader public policy responses that improve individual and household skills and resources to acquire food and ensure food security. Nutrition professionals, welfare professionals and policy-makers need to work sensitively with welfare food agencies and others to improve food access and food security for homeless youth.
