Abstract

The consumption of rice on the edge of the forest tends to increase unbalanced with production causing food insecurity. Efforts to strengthen the food security of forest-edge communities can be through diversification of non-rice food (corn, sweet potato, banana, cassava and arrowroot) and increased income of smallholder coffee farmers. The objectives of the research are to obtain a model of increasing the competitiveness of the people's coffee to strengthen the resilience and security of forest-edge communities. Research location in Bondowoso District.. The results of the research show that: (1) The model of enhancing the competitiveness of coffee people can strengthen the resilience and security of marginalized communities by involving local institutions in Jember (Perhutani, Plantation Department, Industry Office, Coffee and Cocoa Research Center, Cooperative Service, and Higher Education) . (2) The strategy to strengthen the resilience and security of the food of marginalized forest communities can also through the diversification of non-rice food consumption. (3) Diversification of non-rice food consumption (66-77%) and rice (23-34%). (4) In general, the food security and security of forest-edge communities in the category is quite steady.

Highlights

  • The program has not been able to significantly improve food security and income of forest communities, namely the existence of conflicts of interest between the institutions involved and the existence of lost local product-based employment opportunities [3]. This issue needs to be resolved immediately, one of them is by building a model for increasing the competitiveness of the people's coffee to strengthen the resilience and security of the forest edge community

  • The aim of the research is to obtain a model to increase the competitiveness of the people's coffee to strengthen the resilience and security of the forest edge community

  • 3.1 Diversification of Non Rice Food Consumption Diversification of food consumption for forest margins in 4 research locations in Kabupaten Bondowoso shows that in the last 1 year the amount and type of food consumed by households is as follows: 1. Sumber Wringin District: Rice (23%): Non rice (77%), including: corn, sweet potato, cassava, taro, suweg, gadung, spinach, bean sprouts, mustard greens, eggplant, long beans, lettuce, cabbage, fern, heart of banana, koro, kecipir, cassava leaves, papaya leaves, banana, ice, tea, and coffee

Summary

Introduction

Food diversification as an effort to strengthen or cultivate a pattern of consumption of foods that are diverse and balanced and safe in sufficient quantities and composition that will meet nutritional needs and support healthy, active and productive life[1] in strengthening food security in Indonesia in Presidential Regulation No 22 (2009) and the East Java Regional Government Policy (2010) include: (1) dependence on rice consumption is still quite high and the utilization of local food is not optimal for daily food consumption, (2) government food reserves are still limited (only rice and managed by the government central), while local government reserves and forest marginal communities have not yet developed, (3) undeveloped local food-based food technology to support diversification of foodPeople tend to be prohibited from using the forest without any solution, while those who live around the forest area must meet their daily needs. The program has not been able to significantly improve food security and income of forest communities, namely the existence of conflicts of interest between the institutions involved (stakeholders) and the existence of lost local product-based employment opportunities [3] For this reason, this issue needs to be resolved immediately, one of them is by building a model for increasing the competitiveness of the people's coffee to strengthen the resilience and security of the forest edge community. This issue needs to be resolved immediately, one of them is by building a model for increasing the competitiveness of the people's coffee to strengthen the resilience and security of the forest edge community This model has the advantage of increasing the diversification of food and income of communities around the forest, reducing conflicts between institutions and increasing employment opportunities based on local products. That in general the impact of food security and security and increasing the rate of forest rehabilitation will be significant
