Abstract

The Special Region of Yogyakarta is one of the provinces in Indonesia with a relatively large elderly population. As the number of older adults continues to increase, food security among elderly households has become an important issue that warrants further investigation. This study aims to analyze the determinants of food security among elderly-headed households in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, focusing on demographic, socioeconomic, household, social protection, and regional characteristics. The study utilizes data from the March 2021 National Socioeconomic Survey (SUSENAS). Descriptive statistical analysis and binary logistic regression were employed to examine the determinants of food security. The results indicate that socioeconomic characteristics, particularly poverty, are the most important factors associated with food security among elderly-headed households. Elderly households classified as poor are more likely to experience food insecurity than non-poor elderly households. In addition, the social assistance variable shows a significant negative relationship with food security, indicating that recipients of social assistance are more likely to belong to food-insecure elderly households. This finding also suggests that social assistance programs have relatively succeeded in reaching vulnerable elderly households. Furthermore, age, education, household size, and area of residence are statistically significant determinants of food security among elderly- headed households. The findings imply that improving food security among elderly households requires efforts to reduce poverty, enhance food literacy and nutritional awareness, and strengthen more effective social protection programs targeted at vulnerable elderly population.

Abstract

Sambak Village is recognized for its abundant agricultural output, particularly cassava. The local Women Farmers Group (Kelompok Wanita Tani/KWT) of Sambak Village has actively engaged in processing cassava into ready-to-consume products, which are marketed within the surrounding areas. Initially, these products were well received by consumers. However, over time, increasing competition from similar products has led to a decline in consumer interest and a subsequent decrease in income for the group. To address this challenge, a community service team proposed product diversification to enhance the competitiveness and value of cassava-based products. The solution introduced new processed products—cassava-based brownies and soft cookies—that have higher market value. The program consisted of socialization, demonstrations, and mentoring. Participants in the program consist of 20 KWT members. They received socialization on the importance of product diversification for improving household income, calculating cost of goods sold, ensuring hygiene and product safety, and applying proper packaging techniques. The demonstration phase included the preparation of both steamed and baked brownies, as well as soft cookies using cassava as the main ingredient. Mentoring sessions focused on improving packaging quality to meet consumer expectations and enhance marketability. Based on ease of preparation and participant feedback, the group decided to focus on producing baked brownies as their primary follow-up product. The training sessions were met with enthusiasm, as participants acquired new knowledge and practical skills that they were eager to implement. Their motivation was further supported by the provision of baking tools and raw materials from the community service team. This community engagement initiative is expected to have a meaningful impact on the economic empowerment of the Sambak Village KWT by increasing their capacity to produce innovative, value-added cassava products that are more competitive in the local market.
