Complexity and public policy are two things that cannot be separated. Determination and implementation of public policies is a complex process of interaction of all stakeholders loaded with interests, power, information, skills, and other resources. This shows the complexity in public policy that is not possible to be handled by the government alone but needs to involve all other stakeholders. So that to improve policy performance it is necessary to develop a network of all stakeholders in the implementation of public policy. This study aims to develop a network model in implementing food security policy in Bone Regency. This research was carried out in Bone Regency using a qualitative approach. Data sources used are primary data and secondary data. Data collection is done through interviews and observations. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of food security policy has not been effective. This is due to the lack of integrated food programs by all stakeholders. In this case, government agencies each design a food security program individually. Then, the Food Security Council as a network-based organization has not carried out its function in coordinating and synergizing stakeholders to design food programs that can prosper the people. As a result, poverty and food insecurity are still high in Bone Regency.

The purpose of this study is to find out the implementation of food security policies to improve welfare through food reserve management programs. The aim is to increase the volume of group food reserves to ensure access and adequate food for its members and increase group capital through productive economic endeavors. This study uses qualitative research with a normative-empirical and phenomenal approach. The informants in this study were determined by purposive sampling with a total of 6 people, namely the Head of Planning, the Head of Food Security, the Mayor of Nagari and the Communitys. The data used are primary data and secondary data, derived from field observations or observations, interviews and documentation studies. This data is tested for validity using source triangulation techniques which are then analyzed with qualitative data analysis techniques. The results showed that the process of implementing food security policy in its implementation still needed some improvements such as in terms of resources involved, characteristics of the ruling institutions and responses from implementers. Supporting factors in the implementation of food security policies are built by the government food storage (granary) which is built by the special allocation fund (DAK) in agriculture and is given a budget in replenishing community food reserves. Whereas the saving factor is the lack of community understanding of how the system in managing community food reserves which causes internal problems in groups such as people who borrow grain / rice in storage (granaries) do not return loans according to the agreement. Efforts made by the Department of Food directly met with members of the group to request that loans be returned in accordance with the agreement that had been made so that the stock of community food reserves could still be available in storage areas (granaries).

On the other hand, 5% of victims were extremely displeased, but after the flood that is increased to 17%. Floods have huge consequences on people, economics, and the environment. Flooding of regions used for socioeconomic activities produces a variety of negative effects. The government has various programs for food, housing, medical, and education but that is not enough.

It employed qualitative method as a means of data collection and analysis. The primary data was generated via in-depth Interviews with relevant stakeholders who were purposively selected. Secondary data was also utilized to compliment the interviews. The article is written within the purview of the Authoritarian theory of communication and it was found that FRCN between the period under study has been dominated, controlled and dictated by the ruling PDP, reporting issues unethically. The outfit was mostly dancing to the tune of the party in power (PDP). It is recommended that FRCN should not be directly controlled by the government or party in power. Also, a law should be put in place to make it discharge its responsibility of communicating vital, truthful and objective information fairly for the people to be equipped with factual information capable of bringing the needed informed decision particularly during elections.

Purpose: The study draws attention to the negative impacts that the conflicts between Fulani herders and farmers have had on Nigeria’s national development, especially on its quest to achieve food security while repositioning agriculture as a major player in the economy. It further draws attention to the serious danger these conflicts pose to the country’s socio-economic and political sustainability. The study attempts to illuminate the disconnect between these conflicts and the actualization of the twin goals of “no poverty” and “zero hunger” as encapsulated in the Sustainable Development Goals 1 and 2. Methodology: This study generated both primary and secondary data to evaluate the socio-economic and political implications of the herders-farmers conflicts in Nigeria. While the primary data were generated through the instrumentality of key informant interviews (KIIs), the secondary data were obtained from archival materials and other published works. Main findings: The study found that herders-farmers conflicts have inflicted serious costs on the Nigerian economy in terms of loss of resources and human lives. It also found that these conflicts have jeopardized the prospects of meeting the global goals of poverty eradication and zero hunger. The study equally found that the government has no specific set of strategies to contain the conflicts and that its equivocation and unwillingness to prosecute the architects and perpetrators of the conflicts has emboldened them. Social Implications: The herders-farmers conflicts have had serious impacts on the people. These impacts include human fatalities, social dislocations, especially displacement and disruption of people’s livelihood patterns and the exacerbation of poverty. Originality/Novelty: The originality of the study derives from its successful establishment of wider links between the Fulani herders-farmers conflicts and the prospects of the country derailing in repositioning the agricultural sector and meeting the global goals of poverty reduction and food security.

The spatial planning policies had become the mediators for political, social, economic, and environmental relations. This study aims to describe the implementation of public policy from the perspective of Dye theory about a spatial planning for industries in Semarang Regency. The primary data used in this study was from nine informants of nine companies which applied for a location permission license for industrial activities. The secondary data was from the Semarang Public Works Office. The study shows that there were nine investment activity plans for industries in Semarang Regency. Initially, the nine applications were not granted permission from the relevant agencies because they were not in accordance with the provisions of spatial planning. However, after being considered by the government in terms of public policy, the nine companies obtained location permission licenses to utilize the land under certain conditions. Thus, the public policy is essentially designed by the government to guarantee and fulfill the needs of the community to conduct investment activities such as industry. The spatial planning policies had become the mediators for political, social, economic, and environmental relations. Thus, harmonization of political, social, economic and environmental aspects would create sustainable development.
