Abstract

AbstractFood availability is a strategic issue affecting economic stability and community welfare, particularly in agrarian regions such as North Sumatra Province. This study aims to analyze factors influencing food availability, including institutional support, geographic variation, and the adoption of agricultural technology. Data were collected through a survey of 100 rice farmers in Percut District, Deli Serdang Regency, using a structured questionnaire. Analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS software to evaluate validity, reliability, and relationships among variables. The results indicate that institutional support and geographic variation significantly affect food availability, while the adoption of modern agricultural technology does not show a significant effect. Institutional support, including training, extension services, and production facilitation, enhances farmers’ productivity, whereas physical environmental conditions, such as soil quality, topography, and rainfall, are primary determinants of production success. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening institutional capacity and regional management as policy priorities, while technology implementation should be adapted to local needs and farmers’ capacities. Limitations include a restricted geographic scope and technology variables that do not fully capture modern agricultural complexity. This study provides a conceptual foundation for strategies aimed at enhancing food security and guiding local policy interventions. Keywords:.

Abstract

The high population will have an impact on the food crisis and poverty if it is not balanced with food security. The Indonesian government must be able to formulate a national food policy that can improve food security. The food policy includes the availability of food Supplies in good quantity and quality as well as affordable food prices by the community and safe for consumption. The purpose of this study is to examine the synergy of the national food security system. This type of research is qualitative research with the aim of explaining the phenomenon by reviewing existing data. Data sources are obtained through bibliographic data from manuscripts obtained from Google Scholar and analyzed using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) which is a method that uses previous evidence-based evidence through reviews, evaluations, structured evaluations, classifications and categorizations. Based on the results of the review, the results of this study include: implementing good governance as a challenge and solution to food security; food security stability also affects price and distribution policies; increasing rice production will make a major contribution to rice production. Superior rice varieties will increase food security and reduce poverty; food distribution is still not optimal so that availability in each region and prices in each region vary.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing food security in rice-surplus districts of North Sumatra, Indonesia, during 2018–2023. Using secondary panel data, we apply Fixed Effect Models and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess the relationships among rice availability, consumption, and food security. The availability of rice is significantly influenced by production levels, market prices, harvested area, and consumption patterns, while land productivity has no significant effect—suggesting inefficiencies in translating higher yields into accessible supply. Rice consumption is shaped by production, income, and population size but remains unaffected by price fluctuations. PLS-SEM findings reveal that food availability enhances access to food but can negatively affect nutrient absorption and food security directly, possibly due to limited dietary diversity or inadequate nutrition knowledge. However, access and absorption act as key mediators, ultimately improving overall food security. These results emphasize that increasing food availability alone is insufficient. Effective policies must also promote equitable access and improved nutrient utilization to ensure sustainable food security outcomes. By clarifying the complex linkages between food production, distribution, and utilization in rice-abundant regions, this study offers strategic insights for designing integrated, region-specific food security policies.

Abstract

The paddy rice agribusiness sector generates massive quantities of by-products and residues annually, including rice straw, rice husk, rice bran, and other organic materials. These residues, if left unmanaged, contribute to environmental degradation through open burning, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil contamination. However, within the circular economy framework, these agricultural wastes represent significant untapped resources for value-added product development. This paper reviews the concept and application of circular economy principles in paddy rice agribusiness, analyzing valorization pathways for rice agricultural waste across energy production, material science, food processing, and agri-food supply chains. Key by-products examined include rice straw (biochar, biofuel, biomaterials), rice husk (silica, biochar, energy), and rice bran (functional food ingredients, biodiesel). The study draws on recent literature spanning 2021–2025 to identify technological innovations, challenges, and future perspectives in rice waste valorization. The circular bioeconomy approach offers agribusinesses viable pathways to reduce environmental burdens while simultaneously generating economic value, contributing to sustainable development goals and food system resilience

Abstract

Pertanian berkelanjutan menjadi salah satu solusi dalam menghadapi tantangan ketahanan pangan di daerah perdesaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pertanian berkelanjutan terhadap produktivitas, biaya produksi, pendapatan petani, dan diversifikasi tanaman sebagai faktor utama dalam ketahanan pangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan mixed-methods dengan metode survei, wawancara mendalam, observasi lapangan, dan studi dokumentasi. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 50 petani, 10 penyuluh pertanian, 5 pejabat pemerintah daerah, dan 20 rumah tangga perdesaan yang dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa produktivitas petani berkelanjutan meningkat sebesar 40,6% dibandingkan dengan petani konvensional, sementara biaya produksi menurun sebesar 30,7% akibat penggunaan pupuk organik dan pestisida alami. Dari segi ekonomi, pendapatan petani yang menerapkan pertanian berkelanjutan meningkat sebesar 46,4%, yang menunjukkan bahwa sistem ini lebih menguntungkan dalam jangka panjang. Selain itu, petani berkelanjutan memiliki rata-rata 5 jenis tanaman dalam satu musim, dibandingkan dengan petani konvensional yang hanya menanam 2 jenis tanaman, sehingga meningkatkan ketahanan pangan dan mengurangi risiko gagal panen. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa pertanian berkelanjutan tidak hanya meningkatkan kesejahteraan petani, tetapi juga memperkuat ketahanan pangan di daerah perdesaan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan dukungan kebijakan, edukasi, dan insentif untuk memperluas adopsi praktik ini. Dengan pendekatan yang lebih berkelanjutan, sektor pertanian dapat menjadi lebih resilien terhadap tantangan global, seperti perubahan iklim dan krisis pangan.
