The food security policy model in the village government

Abstract

This study aims to create a policy model for food security, especially sago food, for village governments in Papua. Sago is the main food for the Papuan people, but now it is starting to be replaced with rice. This is due to the decreasing number of sago plants in Papua’s forests and cultural shifts that affect the mindset of food consumption. This study will use qualitative research methods with literature studies and data from several villages that have successfully implemented policies that cultivate sago, make sago food the main food and make sago an attraction for the village as a sago tourism village. The results of this study in the form of a sago food security policy model that is appropriate for use in the village government is a group or group model policy model where the village head will try to unite all groups in the community by bargaining, negotiating and compromising so that the interests of community welfare can be fully stated. In the concept of creative and independent sago food security, but still requires the support of all parties outside the village community group, so that there will be a unification of group interests with the pentahelix concept.
