Abstract

Food security can be interpreted by ensuring access to food for each individual to fulfill their food needs in order to live healthy and active. The effort to improve food security is through integrated farming systems. Integrated Farming System (IFS) is a system of managing crops, livestock and fish with their environment to be closed to high productivity, security of production and conservation of resources that are relatively in line with limited land, labor and capital. The results of the analysis of the level of welfare of farmers in Jatisari Village used the indicator of Farmer Exchange Rate method. The results of the calculation can be known to the farmer exchange rate of 81.1% in which Farmer Exchange Rate is less than 100%, meaning that farmers in Jatisari Village are not prosperous. From the results of the analysis of local potential, it can be concluded that food crop farming (rice, corn, and soybeans) is a dominant potential and has not provided farmers’ welfare. The conclusion of this study is that (1) IFS in Jatisari Village has good prospects as an effort to increase community income, (2) IFS will develop optimally by utilizing local resources from various sub-sectors synergy with technology as new sources of income for the community through empowerment.
