Abstract

Alor is a district in East Nusa Tenggara Province that often suffers from food shortage. Food insecurity experienced by farmer community is mainly related to two main factors, namely: geography condition and accessibility of people to food resources. Those situations have created low agricultural production, which have their close nexus with farmers’ income. As a consequent, they seek of getting financial assistance, whether from government or private sectors. Some factors that are contributing to farmers low income including land infertility, farmers possession of a small plot of land, the scarcity of productivity means such as: fertilizers, the weather condition (dry season) and natural disasters. Most importantly, the limited skills of farmers to make use by all resourcesavailable factors has also impacted to food insecurity. To overcome the current condition, any effort to establish food security mechanism through alleviation of poverty programs is recommended, for example, the revitalization of Alor local food. In the long run, any development of agricultural program in Alor Island must be carried out through intensification and extensification programs as well as accelerating aquacultural program and other alternative solutions. Strengthening the local “adat” organizations could also help farmers inparticular to cope with the food insecurity, and to solve related major issues that link closely with people basic needs. The data used to write this paper are based on research conducted on September and October 2009.Keywords: Food Security, Revitalization, and Local Food

Abstract

Bantimurung-Bulusaraung (Babul) National Park was established in 2004. As a new national park, collaborative activities with surrounding community are still limited. Fixing the border line between the national park and the surrounding areas is still in the main preoccupation of the national park. The problem in Babul National Park is related to still unsolved land ownership. Local people in Dusun Tallasa claimed that the land had beenoccupied since a long time. Their ancestors had lived in the area before government proclaimed the forest as a conservation area. Besides, they also have evidence such as girik (traditional land ownership documents). Colaborative activities are limited and have not been based on memorandum of understanding. The only institution which collaborates with Babul National Park Office (Balai Taman Nasional Babul)is Tourism and Culture Agency (Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan)and Babul National Park Office (Balai Taman Nasional Babul). This paper aims to describe the real situation regarding the relation between Babul National Park Office and the local communities their economic activities, and the benefits that could be obtained by both the communities and ecosystem in regard to natural conservation goals.
