Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan telah dilaksanakan melalui beberapa program perlindungan dan pemberdayaan petani, seperti bantuan sarana produksi berupa benih unggul, pupuk bersubsidi, alat dan mesin pertanian, pelaksanaan program Asuransi Usaha Tani Padi, perlindungan sosial melalui BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, penyediaan sarana dan prasarana pertanian, serta kegiatan pelatihan dan penyuluhan bagi petani. Namun pelaksanaan kebijakan tersebut masih menghadapi beberapa hambatan, antara lain belum diterbitkannya Peraturan Bupati sebagai regulasi turunan, keterbatasan anggaran daerah, rendahnya partisipasi petani, serta koordinasi antarinstansi yang belum optimal sehingga pelaksanaan kebijakan belum berjalan secara maksimal dalam mendukung ketahanan pangan daerah.

Food security is a complex issue closely related to various aspects such as agriculture, nutrition, health, and the environment. In the context of global development, food security is an integral part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 2: Zero Hunger. This study aims to analyze the implementation of food security policies in supporting the achievement of the SDGs and to identify the factors that hinder the successful implementation of these policies. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method, examining various secondary data sources including books, journal articles, laws and regulations, official government reports, mass media, and relevant online publications. The results show that the Indonesian government has undertaken various efforts to achieve food security through strengthening regulations, starting from Law Number 18 of 2012, Government Regulation Number 17 of 2015, and Presidential Regulation Number 125 of 2022. These efforts are supported by increased budget allocation, local wisdom-based food diversification programs, food estate programs, and strengthening national food reserves through cross-sectoral coordination. However, the implementation of these policies still faces four structural constraints, namely high population growth, the conversion of agricultural land, the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity, and low interest among the younger generation, which threatens farmer regeneration. The implications of this study indicate that the successful implementation of food security policies in supporting the achievement of the SDGs requires comprehensive, sustainable strategies and effective cross-sector collaboration.

Industri manufaktur pangan di Indonesia menghadapi tantangan signifikan dalam pengendalian biaya akibat ketidakefisienan operasional dan manajemen waktu yang kurang optimal.

Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dengan desain explanatory sequential, mengintegrasikan analisis kuantitatif (regresi linear berganda, n=50) dan kualitatif (wawancara mendalam, n=15). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa efisiensi operasional berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap pengendalian biaya (β = 0,478; p < 0,01), demikian pula manajemen waktu proyek (β = 0,362; p < 0,01). Secara simultan, kedua variabel berpengaruh signifikan dengan nilai Adjusted R² sebesar 0,602, mengindikasikan bahwa 60,2% variasi pengendalian biaya dapat dijelaskan oleh model. Temuan kualitatif mengkonfirmasi bahwa praktik preventive maintenance, standarisasi proses, dan monitoring jadwal produksi merupakan faktor kunci keberhasilan pengendalian biaya. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan literatur manajemen operasi di negara berkembang dan memberikan rekomendasi praktis bagi industri pangan untuk meningkatkan daya saing melalui efisiensi operasional dan manajemen waktu yang efektif.

This study aims to analyze the level of environmental friendliness of gillnet fishing gear operated by fishermen in Pangandaran Regency. Sustainable management of fishery resources is crucial in this region, given the high biodiversity and the pressure from environmentally damaging fishing activities. The methods used in this study include field observations, interviews, and the distribution of questionnaires to 30 respondents. Data analysis was conducted by scoring based on the nine criteria for environmentally friendly fishing gear established by the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) 1995. These nine criteria include gear selectivity, impact on habitat, fisherman safety, catch quality, consumer safety, impact on biodiversity, protection of endangered species, and social acceptance. The results showed that gillnet fishing gear in Pangandaran Regency obtained an average score of 28.3. Based on the CCRF assessment categories, this value places gillnets in the environmentally friendly category. Nevertheless, the selectivity aspect remains the lowest-scoring factor as the gear still catches more than three species with varying sizes. On the other hand, this fishing gear proved to be safe for habitats, poses no danger to fishermen, produces safe products for consumers, and is well-received socially by the local community.

Healthy food and beverage consumption patterns, as well as family lifestyles, significantly impact toddler health, particularly those related to stunting. The objective of this activity was to provide knowledge on processing high-protein food products from animal products. The activity was conducted through counseling and practical training with mothers of children with stunting and pregnant women at risk of stunting. This activity was conducted in collaboration with BRIN (National Research and Innovation Agency), which is an implementation of the MOU between Fatipa Unisri and BRIN. The results showed that the mothers enjoyed this activity, resulting in their active involvement in the community service process. This program can benefit participants by providing knowledge and skills in processing high-protein foods from animal sources. This activity also aims to raise mothers' awareness of the importance of a balanced, nutritious diet in preventing stunting in children. In addition, participants were given training on how to select the right food ingredients and processing techniques that can maintain the nutritional content of animal products. This program is expected to be continued and discussed with other communities to create a healthy and stunting-free generation.

The increasing demands of global trade, the risk of transboundary diseases, and the stringency of sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) standards require a more integrated, transparent, and risk-based national quarantine system. The partial readiness of digital systems and traceability mechanisms has the potential to weaken Indonesia’s food security and export competitiveness toward the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of the quarantine system in national development, identify institutional and technical root problems, and formulate the most concrete and feasible policy alternatives. The method used is policy analysis with a multi-criteria analysis (MCA) approach to compare several solution alternatives based on effectiveness, efficiency, technical aspects, and political feasibility. The results indicate that the digital transformation of the national quarantine system based on traceability and risk-based intelligence is the most superior policy option, as it can simultaneously address data fragmentation, improve service efficiency, and strengthen biosecurity surveillance. This study recommends the development of a Quarantine Super App, full implementation of e-certification, integration with the National Logistics Ecosystem and Customs, and the strengthening of an artificial intelligence-based risk profiling system. Gradual implementation accompanied by performance indicator-based evaluation is key to the success of the policy in enhancing national food security and export competitiveness.

This research was motivated by the low Food Security Index in Serang City, particularly in Unyur Village, which became the target area of the Safe Food Village Program initiated by the Serang BBPOM in 2021. The program aims to increase community independence in achieving sustainable food safety through community empowerment, especially among housewives. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Safe Food Village Program in Unyur Village. The research used a descriptive qualitative method and applied the Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation model as the analytical framework. The results indicate that the program implementation has not yet run optimally or sustainably on an independent basis. The main obstacles include poor communication and coordination between village authorities and food safety cadres, limited human resources and lack of financial incentives for cadres, low leadership commitment in integrating the program into village work plans, and budget limitations after BBPOM intervention ended. Nevertheless, the social conditions and community infrastructure in Unyur Village actually have strong potential to support program sustainability if utilized strategically by the village government.

Women Farmer Groups play an important role in strengthening household food security, yet limited food diversity remains a challenge in rural communities. This study analyzes the empowerment process of the Melati Women Farmer Group (KWT Melati) through an integrated farming program in improving household food security in Sarengkol Hamlet, Sukagalih Village, Sukaratu District, Tasikmalaya Regency. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings show that the empowerment process was participatory, gradual, and sustainable, implemented through five stages. The enabling stage expanded women’s access and participation through social support and extension facilitation. The empowering stage strengthened technical and organizational capacities as well as women’s roles in decision-making. The protecting stage was reflected in social solidarity and mutual cooperation as informal protection. The supporting stage appeared through continuous assistance and community support. The maintaining stage indicated organizational independence despite reduced external aid. The study concludes that empowerment through integrated farming strengthens household food security based on social capital and women’s autonomy.

Desa Suka Makmur di Kabupaten Pohuwato, Provinsi Gorontalo merupakan wilayah beriklim panas dengan kondisi permukiman yang cenderung gersang akibat minimnya pemanfaatan pekarangan rumah.

Pelaksanaan program menghasilkan peningkatan pemahaman dan keterampilan masyarakat secara signifikan, ditandai dengan kemampuan warga merakit sistem NFT, mengelola nutrisi, serta memelihara tanaman hingga masa panen. Selain itu, pekarangan warga mulai mengalami perubahan menjadi ruang hijau produktif yang mampu menurunkan kesan gersang pada lingkungan permukiman. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa integrasi teknologi hidroponik dan pendekatan pemberdayaan masyarakat efektif dalam menciptakan lingkungan yang lebih hijau, meningkatkan kemandirian pangan, serta mendorong perubahan perilaku masyarakat dalam pemanfaatan pekarangan secara berkelanjutan.

The conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land continues to increase along with the pressures of urbanization, industrialization, and settlement expansion. This condition poses risks to food security, environmental sustainability, and farmer welfare. This article reviews literature based on 25 abstracts/research results on LP2B in Indonesia to map policy implementation patterns, the relationship between LP2B and regional spatial planning, inhibiting factors, and the direction of policy strengthening. The method used is a narrative review with thematic synthesis of normative legal studies, juridical-empirical, qualitative, mixed methods, and spatial-quantitative approaches. The results of the review indicate: (1) LP2B is highly dependent on the harmonization of spatial planning policies, especially RTRW/RDTR and licensing mechanisms based on KKPR-OSS; (2) many regions are still stuck at the land inventory-identification stage, not yet reaching the determination and operational protection through LP2B Regional Regulations; (3) dominant obstacles include regulatory asynchronous, weak law enforcement, minimal cross-agency coordination, limited data by name by address, suboptimal socialization, and conflicts of interest in non-agricultural development; (4) incentive-disincentive instruments have not been implemented consistently, although socially farmers tend to accept LP2B protection; and (5) quantitative evidence at the national level shows that LP2B policies have a positive effect on the percentage of rice fields, despite being suppressed by population density and real estate sector growth. This article emphasizes the need for an integrated spatial governance approach, strengthening regional institutions, and designing policies that are socially and environmentally just to ensure that LP2B is effective in maintaining regional food security.

Food Additives (BTP) in current consumer products increase the risk of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, kidney failure, and cancer, particularly in children. Housewives play a central role in managing family consumption to minimize these risks. This community service activity aims to enhance the knowledge and awareness of 'Aisyiyah women in Buluspesantren, Kebumen Regency, regarding food safety and BTP regulations. The implementation method included preparing materials based on BPOM regulations, interactive education, product discussions, and simulations on reading nutrition labels. The results showed high enthusiasm from participants who are now more critical in distinguishing between natural and synthetic additives. Participants reported a significant improvement in their ability to identify food ingredients and additives in everyday products. The final evaluation recorded a 22.2-point increase in participant understanding. By establishing the habit of reading food labels, it is expected that the risk of non-communicable diseases within the family environment can be reduced, thus improving public health literacy and dietary choices within the community.

Background: The prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women in West Papua remains very high, reaching 40.7%. The provision of manufactured supplementary food (PMT) in the form of biscuits often faces challenges due to low compliance caused by monotonous taste and nausea-triggering flavors. Sweet potato (Petatas) is a potential local food source with an energy content of 123 kcal/100g that could serve as an alternative PMT. Objective: To analyze the acceptability (taste, color, aroma, and texture) of sweet potato-based PMT products among pregnant women with CED. Methods: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from September to October 2025 at the Ransiki Health Center. The sample consisted of 22 pregnant women with CED. The research instrument used a 5-point hedonic scale questionnaire. Results: Respondent characteristics were dominated by the ideal age range of 20-35 years (81.8%) and low family income (63.6%). The acceptability test results showed high overall acceptance with an average score of 4.23 (Highly Liked). The color attribute obtained the highest score (4.27), followed by taste (4.18), texture (4.18), and aroma (4.14). Conclusion: Sweet potato-based PMT products have excellent acceptability and significant potential to be integrated into local nutritional intervention programs for pregnant women with CED.

Local food innovation is not only focused on product development but also requires effective communication strategies to build positive perceptions and enhance market competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the implementation of innovation communication strategies by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in developing papaya-based chili chips as a flagship product in Nagori Karang Anyar, Gunung Maligas District, Simalungun Regency. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, focusing on the product innovation process, marketing communication patterns, and efforts to build product image amid competition in the local food industry. The findings indicate that innovation communication strategies play a crucial role in creating product differentiation through narratives of unique taste, utilization of local raw materials, and promotional strategies combining traditional methods and digital media. Papaya chili chips are positioned as a product that blends distinctive local flavors with a modern touch, attracting consumer interest and increasing the added value of papaya as a local commodity. This study emphasizes that the success of local food innovation depends not only on product quality but also on the ability of MSMEs to manage adaptive and persuasive communication strategies.

Background: The postpartum period is a critical phase requiring optimal nutritional intake for maternal recovery and ensuring the quality of breast milk. In densely populated urban areas such as Semampir District, dietary quality is often influenced by the level of nutrition knowledge and household economic conditions. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutrition knowledge and household food security with dietary quality among postpartum mothers in Semampir District, Surabaya. Methods: This was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 340 postpartum mothers were selected using simple random sampling. Nutrition knowledge was measured through a structured questionnaire, food security was assessed using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), and dietary quality was measured using the 3-level Balanced Diet Index derived from 24-hour food recall data. Data were analyzed descriptively and through the Chi-Square correlation test. Results: The findings indicated that the majority of respondents possessed a good level of nutrition knowledge (average correct answers >75%), with the highest score in anemia prevention (81.2%) and the lowest in the functional role of Vitamin A (75.9%). Dietary quality assessment revealed that most respondents were in the [Select: Moderate/Poor] category based on IGS scores. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship (p < 0.05) between both nutrition knowledge and household food security with the dietary quality of postpartum mothers. Conclusion: Good nutrition knowledge and stable food security contribute positively to the dietary quality of postpartum mothers. Targeted nutritional education regarding micronutrients and strengthening food access at the household level are essential to optimize maternal health during the postpartum period in urban settings.

The global reliance on wheat flour has prompted the food industry to seek sustainable local substitutes. Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) emerges as a potential candidate due to its substantial starch content and beneficial bioactive compounds. This study explores innovations in sweet potato flour processing, emphasizing physical, chemical, and enzymatic modifications to enhance its functional properties. The research methods include hydrothermal treatments and fermentation (Modified Sweet Potato Flour/MOSPEF) and their impact on dough rheology and glycemic response. The findings indicate that modified sweet potato flour can effectively replace wheat flour by 30-50% in bakery items and up to 100% in gluten-free formulations without significantly altering sensory traits. This innovation represents a strategic step toward national food sovereignty and improved nutritional quality in the modern food industry, healthier and more nutritious. The use of modified sweet potato flour is expected to strengthen food security and provide economic benefits for local farmers and the domestic food industry.

Social protection programs in Indonesia play a strategic role in poverty alleviation and supporting economic development. One form of social protection implementation at the regional level is the Depok Prosperity Card (KDS) Program, implemented by the Depok City Government as a means of ensuring food security for underprivileged communities. However, the program's implementation has been deemed incompletely transparent and poorly targeted, as expressed by several members of the Depok City Council (DPRD). Therefore, this study aims to analyze the implementation of the city's food security policy through the Depok Sejahtera Card Program in Tanah Baru Village, Depok City. This study uses Charles O. Jones's policy implementation theory, which encompasses three main indicators: organization, interpretation, and implementation. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The results indicate that, from an organizational perspective, the Depok Sejahtera Card Program has been implemented quite well, characterized by a clear division of tasks among relevant stakeholders. From an interpretive perspective, the program has a strong legal basis through Depok Mayor Regulation Number 79 of 2022 and aims to reduce poverty. However, various obstacles remain in the implementation aspect, resulting in program implementation not being optimal and efficient. Nevertheless, the program is considered beneficial for recipient communities, although an increase in the amount of assistance is still needed to meet food needs for a period of one month.

The State Logistics Agency (Bulog) plays a strategic role in maintaining national food security by stabilizing the prices and availability of staple food commodities. Amidst increasingly fierce market competition and changing consumer behavior, the Maumere branch of Bulog faces challenges in increasing commercial commodity sales without neglecting its public function. This study aims to analyze the marketing strategy implemented by Bulog Maumere to increase food commodity sales, as well as identify obstacles and improvement efforts. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation, the findings indicate that Bulog Maumere's marketing strategy integrates the 4Ps of the marketing mix—product, price, place, and promotion—through expanded distribution channels (RPK, traditional markets, government agencies), market operations (SPHP, the Affordable Food Movement), and collaboration with local partners. This strategy is effective in increasing sales volume and accelerating stock turnover, although it remains hampered by reliance on government assignments, lengthy bureaucratic procedures, and distribution delays. Key recommendations include strengthening commercial sales, optimizing digital marketing, and improving operational efficiency. The results of this study provide a practical contribution to the development of marketing strategies for public food institutions in the archipelago.

Almost all formal workers dedicate all their time and energy to their companies during their productive years. As a result, it is very difficult for workers to start other businesses besides their formal jobs. Without the skills and strategies for entrepreneurship, many workers find it difficult to survive when they reach retirement age. From a sustainable human resource management perspective, the retirement preparation period (MPP) is a strategic phase for maintaining the social welfare of employees and taking preventive measures to address post-retirement social issues such as decreased productivity, economic dependence, and individual social roles. For employees who will enter retirement age in the next two years, PT. Sindopex Perotama regularly conducts MPP training. This year, the MPP training was themed “food security to achieve food self-sufficiency in retirement.” PT. Sindopex Perotama collaborated with LS Farm, Trawas Eduwisata Center (TEC), and a team from KH. A. Wahab Hasbullah University (UNWAHA) Jombang as part of the Tridharma community service program. This activity was achieved by applying the results of evaluations from observations of previous activities so that it was on target through proper planning (identifying needs in collaboration with partners), implementing activities, and providing direct assistance at the activity location. This program is expected to bring about social change, such as greater social welfare for employees approaching retirement age, greater economic independence in terms of food, and greater awareness of the role of retirees in maintaining food availability and social harmony in their neighborhoods. In addition, this program demonstrates sustainable human resource management practices in companies that care about the welfare of their employees until they retire.

Public health is a crucial aspect of national development and is influenced by dietary consumption patterns. In Indonesia, the consumption of preserved foods has increased alongside lifestyle changes, economic conditions, and access to processed and packaged foods. Although preservatives function to extend shelf life, their improper use particularly hazardous substances such as formaldehyde, borax, and rhodamine B can have adverse health effects. This study aims to identify the factors contributing to high preserved food consumption, analyze their impact on public health, and examine weaknesses in Indonesia’s food monitoring system. The research employs a qualitative method through a literature review of scientific articles, reference books, and official reports from the National Agency of Drug and Food Control and the Ministry of Health. The findings indicate that preserved food consumption is influenced by a preference for convenience, economic constraints, and limited public knowledge of nutrition and food safety. Health impacts include digestive disorders, decreased immunity, impaired organ function, and an increased risk of chronic diseases. In addition, limited resources and weak law enforcement contribute to suboptimal food supervision. Therefore, strengthening regulatory oversight, enhancing public education, and promoting cross-sector collaboration are necessary to achieve a safe and healthy food system.
