Community Empowerment of Ngingit Village, Tumpang District, Malang Regency through Suweg Processed Products in the Framework of Raising the Existence of Local Food Ingredients Towards a Food Self-Sufficiency Village.

Abstract

The problem of food is something that needs to be considered because it will have an impact on all aspects of the line of life. One of the breakthroughs made to overcome food problems is the Food Self-Sufficiency Movement, namely maintaining food security with several steps. One of the programs that support food self-sufficiency is KAMPA (“Gerakan Mandiri Pangan”/ Food Independece). The purpose of the KAMPA is to provide training to the community on how to process local food ingredients to make the best possible use of them to meet their nutritional needs. In addition, CAMPA aims to raise the value of local food ingredients that are still minimal in their use, one of which is the Suweg plant.This food independent activity was carried out in Ngingit Village in partnership with PKK. The training wascarried out by processing suweg into several preparations such as cookies, noodles, meatballs and cereals. The method used in this research is Participatory Action Research (PAR) where the active role of the community is needed for program sustainability.The results of this program are in the form of several preparations that can be made by partners and can be developed for the formation of MSMEs so that in the long term food self-sufficiency can be formed in the region, especially the Ngingit area.
