Flood Prone Areas

Rice issues are strategically important given that food sovereignty is one of the government’s strategic plans. The supply chain of rice is a complex system involving many interacting stakeholders. This study aims to analyse the rice supply chain in flood-prone areas, the level of rice business vulnerability to flooding, and the institutional competitiveness in the rice supply chain to improve food security. This study applied a mixed-method approach. The population of this research was business operators in the rice supply chain in the flood-prone areas of Klaten Regency, Indonesia. This study utilized primary data, which were collected using the method of direct interviews with business actors, supported by a list of questions and focus group discussions. The analytical tools used in this study were supply chain analysis, business vulnerability index, and stakeholder analysis. The results show that the rice supply chain consisted of farmers and rice fellers, collectors, rice mills, wholesalers, retailers and, finally, consumers. The vulnerability of companies in the rice supply chain was in the category of moderate. Stakeholders in the rice supply chain had diverse objectives, where the two most substantial goals were building reputation and earning income. Rice mill, Department of Agriculture, Food Security and Fisheries, and community are the main stakeholders in realizing food security because they have high interests and influence. The implication is that these three stakeholders must be the main actors in the development of regional food security.

Supply Chain Analysis

Bangladesh is principally an agricultural based country dominated by crop production. In Bangladesh onion mostly use for species which gives aroma taste and flavor to the food materials. The present study was designed to measure supply chain analysis of onion markets and to estimate the value addition of onion in selected areas of two upazilas of Pabna district. Primary data were collected from the onion growing area of Sujanagar upazila and Santhiya upazila under Pabna district. Twenty farmers and fifty traders were selected through purposive sampling and simple random sampling procedure. Simple descriptive methods were used to analyze the data. The major findings of the study reveal that onion production is profitable. In the production and marketing system of Onion, many supply chain actors were involved such as Faria, Bepari, Arathdar, wholesaler and retailer. Marketing of onion produced in Sujanagar and Santhiya upazila was moved from the hands of producers to the hands of consumers through six separate chains. The highest sales price per 40Kg of onion received by retailer was Tk. 1625 and the lowest sales price received by farmer was Tk. 1190. In value chain, highest value (29.14 percent) was added by farmer and lowest value (3.97 percent) was added by Arathder of the total value addition. Farmers had the highest proportion of net marketing margin which was about 42.51 percent of total net marketing margin. Retailers had the second highest portion of net marketing margin of onion. On the contrary, Arathdar had the lowest net marketing margin of onion which was only 3.82 percent of total net marketing margin of onion. The study also identified some problems and constraints faced by the onion farmers and trader suggested some recommendations to improve the present production and marketing situation so that per hectare yield of onion and marketing facilities would possibly be increased.

Eradicating world hunger—the aim of Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2)—requires a social–ecological approach to agrifood systems. However, previous work has mostly focused on one or the other. Here, we apply such a holistic approach to depicting the global food panorama through a quantitative multivariate assessment of 43 indicators of food sovereignty and 28 indicators of sociodemographics, social being, and environmental sustainability in 150 countries. The results identify 5 world regions and indicate the existence of an agrifood debt (i.e., disequilibria between regions in the natural resources consumed, the environmental impacts produced, and the social wellbeing attained by populations that play different roles within the globalized agrifood system). Three spotlights underpin this debt: 1) a severe contrast in diets and food security between regions, 2) a concern about the role that international agrifood trade is playing in regional food security, and 3) a mismatch between regional biocapacity and food security. Our results contribute to broadening the debate beyond food security from a social–ecological perspective, incorporating environmental and social dimensions.

Kabupaten Toba Samosir (Tobasa) merupakan salah satu penghasil jagung terbesar di Sumatera Utara. Peningkatan produksi jagung sangat signifikan dari tahun 2016 ke 2017 yaitu sebesar 52,60%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang mempengaruhi rantai pasok jagung dengan mempertimbangkan potensi sumber daya pertanian jagung, pelaku dan aktor pendukung serta pendapatan petani. Data primer pada penelitian ini diperoleh melalui observasi langsung dan wawancara dengan pihak pemangku kepentingan seperti: aktor langsung (Petani, Pengumpul, Pengecer, Pekerja dan Konsumen) dan pendukung (Dinas pertanian, Dinas Perindakop, Dinas Ketapang dan Kelompok Tani). Data sekunder diperoleh melalui BPS, Dinas Pertanian dan studi literatur yang berkaitan dengan rantai nilai, rantai pasok dan analisis pemangku kepentingan. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode SWOT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan luas produktif pertanian jagung di Kabupaten Tobasa 5.651 ha, kapasitas produksi 33.524 ton dan jumlah produktivitas 59,32 kw/ha dengan rantai pemasaran jagung di dalam dan luar kabupaten seperti pabrik pakan ternak di Siantar dan Medan. Berbeda dengan kondisi di Kabupaten Dairi dengan luas produktif pertanian 34.114 ha, kapasitas produksi 214.505 ton dan jumlah produktivitas 62,88 kw/ha. Pemetaan rantai nilai didapat bahwa Dinas Pertanian memiliki pengaruh dan kepentingan yang tinggi dalam rantai nilai dengan pendapatan yang diterima petani di Kabupaten Tobasa adalah Rp. 6.401.033per hektar per musim tanam, dengan R/C 1,634. Strategi mendiversifikasi produk turunan jagung dapat meningkatkan nilai jagung dalam rantai nilai. Selain itu dengan menjalin kemitraan antara petani dengan pengumpul maupun pelaku industri dapat menghindari panen raya mupun kelangkaan jagung.   Toba Samosir Regency (Tobasa) is one of the largest corn producers in North Sumatra. The increasement of corn production is very significant from 2016 to 2017 at 52.60%. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the corn supply chain by considering the potential of corn farming resources, supporting actors and actors as well as farmers' income. Primary data in this study were obtained through direct observation and interviews with stakeholders such as: direct actors (Farmers, Collectors, Retailers, Workers and Consumers) and supporters (Department of Agriculture, Department of Industry Trade and Cooperatives, Department of Ketapang Officer and Farmers Group). Secondary data was obtained through BPS, Department of Agriculture and literature studies related to the value chain, supply chain and stakeholder analysis. Data were analyzed using the SWOT method. The results showed that the productive area of corn farming in Tobasa District was 5,651 ha, production capacity was 33,524 tons and total productivity was 59.32 kw/ha with the marketing chain of corn of in and outside the district such as animal feed factories in Siantar and Medan. It is contrast conditions in Dairi Regency with an area of productive agriculture was 34,114 ha, production capacity was 214,505 tons and total productivity was 62.88 kw/ha. Mapping the value chain found that the Department of Agriculture has a high influence and interest in the value chain with the income received by farmers in Tobasa Regency is Rp. 6,401,033per hectares per planting season, with R / C 1,634. The diversify strategy of corn derivative products can increase the value of corn in the value chain. In addition, by establishing partnerships between farmers and collectors and industry players can avoid both the harvest and the scarcity of corn.

Food insecurity in Indigenous communities in Canada continue to gain increasing attention among scholars, community practitioners, and policy makers. Meanwhile, the role and importance of Indigenous foods, associated knowledges, and perspectives of Indigenous peoples (Council of Canadian Academies, 2014) that highlight community voices in food security still remain under-represented and under-studied in this discourse. University of Winnipeg (UW) researchers and Fisher River Cree Nation (FRCN) representatives began an action research partnership to explore Indigenous knowledges associated with food cultivation, production, and consumption practices within the community since 2012. The participatory, place-based, and collaborative case study involved 17 oral history interviews with knowledge keepers of FRCN. The goal was to understand their perspectives of and challenges to community food security, and to explore the potential role of Indigenous food knowledges in meeting community food security needs. In particular, the role of land-based Indigenous foods in meeting community food security through restoration of health, cultural values, identity, and self-determination were emphasized by the knowledge keepers—a vision that supports Indigenous food sovereignty. The restorative potential of Indigenous food sovereignty in empowering individuals and communities is well-acknowledged. It can nurture sacred relationships and actions to renew and strengthen relationships to the community’s own Indigenous land-based foods, previously weakened by colonialism, globalization, and neoliberal policies.

The purpose of this study is to test the Influence of Work Motivation, Competence, and Compensation Against Performance Employees Regional General Hospital (RSUD) Mentawai Islands District. This study is a census. The data used are primary data by taking sample of 79 (seventy nine) respondents. This research uses analytical tools such as validity, reliability test, multiple linear regression test, t test, F test and coefficient of determination (R2). The results of this study illustrate that all variables have an effect on employee performance except the compensation variable. The results can be described by the equation Y = 12.752 + 0.248X1 + 0.396X2 + 0.051 X3, where X1 = Work Motivation, X2 = Competence, and X3 = Compensation. This means that the constant of 12.752 states that factors other than the variables X1, X2, and X3 that affect employee performance of 12,752. Work Motivation coefficient of 0.248 states that if the variable X1 added one unit will add the effect of employee performance of 0.248 with the assumption that the competence and compensation variables are constant. The regression coefficient X2 of 0.396 is that if the variable X2 increases one unit will increase the employee performance by 0.396 with the assumption that the variable of work motivation and compensation is constant. Furthermore, with X3 regression coefficient of 0.051. This means that with other factors considered constant, the effect of compensation is less than that of work motivation and competence.

The Impact

This study analyzed the variability of rainfall and temperature in southwest coastal Bangladesh and assessed the impact of such variability on local livelihood in the last two decades. The variability analysis involved the use of coefficient of variation (CV), standardized precipitation anomaly (Z), and precipitation concentration index (PCI). Linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the trends, and a Mann–Kendall test was performed to detect the significance of the trends. The impact of climate variability was assessed by using a livelihood vulnerability index (LVI), which consisted of six livelihood components with several sub-components under each component. Primary data to construct the LVIs were collected through a semi-structed questionnaire survey of 132 households in a coastal polder. The survey data were triangulated and supplemented with qualitative data from focused group discussions and key informant interviews. The results showed significant rises in temperature in southwest coastal Bangladesh. Though there were no discernable trends in annual and seasonal rainfalls, the anomalies increased in the dry season. The annual PCI and Z were found to capture the climate variability better than the currently used mean monthly standard deviation. The comparison of the LVIs of the present decade with the past indicated that the livelihood vulnerability, particularly in the water component, had increased in the coastal polder due to the increases in natural hazards and climate variability. The index-based vulnerability analysis conducted in this study can be adapted for livelihood vulnerability assessment in deltaic coastal areas of Asia and Africa.
