<p>ABSTRACT</p><p>This study aim to analyze the food resouces in Pagaralam District, South Sumatera Province in 2001—2010. The study design was retrospective with secondary data analysis covering policies, budgeting, food production, exports, imports and number of population. Data processing included analysis for production, exports, imports, food availability and food suffiency by trend, line, ratio availability and ratio of imports. Food availability policy and food availability budgeting were analyzed using content analysis. The results indicate increasing of production on some commodities but supply doesn’t fulfill the demand. Food availability increases and energy adequacy has already reached the Minimum Services Standard (90%), but not for intake protein. Desirable Dietary Pattern (DDP) score is still below 90. The food availability policy and budget do not support the General Policy for Food Security 2006—2010 and still focused on water resources management.</p><p>Key words: energy and protein adequacy, food availability</p><p>ABSTRAK</p><p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sumberdaya pangan di Kota Pagaralam Provinsi Sumatera Selatan tahun 2001—2010.

Abstract PurposeSince the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic rises, it poses a catastrophic effect for the society and its development globally. These pandemic situations put global inhabitants under tremendous pressure to maintain a sufficient supply of nutrition and desirable food security. Agricultural food production and distribution industries may play a vital role in determining the current conditions of any countries food security and sustainable development goals. Design/methodology/approachSince an increasing number of people had been suffering from hunger and malnutrition before even the infection strikes, it could create more dangerous circumstances by creating a global food crisis if the immediate measure is not taken. This paper examines the determinants of food security within three distinct aspects (effective utilization of food, food availability, and food access) within the COVID-19 epidemic situation. For developing and validating the model, the empirical data was collected from the agricultural food supply industry in China (Shaanxi Province). Whereas, the core analytical assumption has made by employing the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modelling (SEM).FindingsAfter analyzing the data collected from 67 agricultural food productions and distribution personnel along with the hypothesis testing, it has found that determinants of the effective utilization if food aspects are positively related to the determinants of food availability and food access aspects, and the determinants of food availability are positively related to the food access determinants. OriginalityThis research will be helpful to the government and industry in developing policies and strategies for the successful implementation of all the associated determinants of food security in terms of the epidemic situation.

Human Carrying Capacity

Abstract We assume that human carrying capacity is determined by food availability. We propose three classes of human population dynamical models of logistic type, where the carrying capacity is a function of the food production index. We also employ an integration-based parameter estimation technique to derive explicit formulas for the model parameters. Using actual population and food production index data, numerical simulations of our models suggest that an increase in food availability implies an increase in carrying capacity, but the carrying capacity is “self-limiting” and does not increase indefinitely.

Abstract. We draw on previous work examining historical trends, likely future water use and food availability in Pakistan and extend the analysis to consider interactions with hydropower generation and the energy demand in food production due to pumping of groundwater for irrigation. Business-as-usual scenarios suggest growing demands for groundwater and energy use for food production as population grows rapidly. However, groundwater use is already unsustainable in many areas, and energy supply is failing to keep up with demand. Quantifying material linkages between water, food and energy provides a means to explore biophysical constraints. Characterising institutional constraints is equally important, as they can be significant barriers to effective stewardship of water, energy and food resources. The experience in Pakistan reinforces this finding, and we discuss the implications for hydrologists.

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of production, availability of food for the community and analyze the level of accessibility of food for households in villages in the district behind Weru Sukoharjo. The method of analysis used in qualitative research is descriptive analytic in order to approach the situation, structure, behavior and performance (SSPP). Use of this approach is based on the consideration of allegations that sensitive (vulnerable) of food a lot happening in the villages left behind. The results of this study indicate that the performance of food production especially rice or rice has increased significantly from year to year, but increased production has not been able to offset the growth in consumption of rice that grows higher than the growth in rice production. This shows that in terms of food availability, food security in the area of research is still very low.

Food Commodity

Food is the primary need of the population in Indonesia. Increased food demand along with the increasing of population growth. Food availability is an aspect to be met by the Indonesia government as an effort to prosper the community. In facts, food availability in a country or a region not always can be met well. Therefore, the government needs to stabilize the level of food availability, one of the efforts is by importing or supplying food from abroad. Food supply planning needs to be done carefully so as not to shut down domestic food production and it was expected to stabilize food security. Planning of the quantity of food commodity supply  will be done by taking into account the number of population needs and the number of food production itself. Because the number of food needs and production is very relative and always changing at a certain time, then to determined the amount of food supply will be done with fuzzy inference system. Tsukamoto’s fuzzy method is one of the methods in the fuzzy inference system. So, the result of this research is to find of food commodity supply in Riau Province based on number of food need and number of food production with fuzzy inference system using Tsukamoto's fuzzy method.

In the backdrop of climate change, jack fruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) plays an important role in ensuring food security. The fruit belongs to the Moraceae family and the largest edible fruit in the world. Its a large ungainly fruit grown across India especially in every part of Kerala and by 2018 Government of Kerala designated Jackfruit as the state fruit. During rainy season jackfruit is a staple food for many communities especially in hilly areas where they can use as supplement food with rice to meet nutrition security especially in tribal areas. Its far more nutritious than mangoes, oranges and other tropical fruits and having all the common starch. Its community food and commonly used by different communities in India, specially communities in hilly areas during rainy season from June –November. The four dimensions of food security, (i.e., Food Availability+ Food Access+ Food Utility + Food Stability) also cope with Environmental influence (Food Consumption +Food Production +Food Distribution). It moves beyond the concept of food supply to provide a comprehensive package for individuals to reach a state of nutritional well-being in which all physiological needs are met. Jack fruit is commercially viable for farmers as an average farmer get 50 kg from each tree and earn Rs 3000 apart from wood for fuel and leaves for domestic animals. It ensures food security in terms of (Food Availability=10,000Kg/Acre Food Access (Appropriate foods for a nutritious diet) =95 kcal Food Utility=40,000 Families/Acre i.e. 4member/Kg and Food Stability= 6 months).A community food system is a food system in which food production, processing, distribution and consumption are integrated to enhance the environmental, economic, social and nutritional health of a particular place (Garrett and Feenstra, 1999) i.e. realizing a food secure community. A food secure community is a place where all community residents obtain a safe, culturally appropriate, nutritionally sound diet through an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable food system that promotes community self-reliance and social justice (Hamm & Bellows, 2002). There are many communities whose staple food is jackfruit. The Kaani tribal community, Kanyakumari forests, of the Western Ghats, were a nomadic tribe solely dependent on Jack fruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), and is a major staple food apart from tapioca. Despite its versatility as a tree species for general afforestation and for agroforestry programs research attention should be given on to involve jack fruit trees under system which are yet to be evolved.
