"Efforts to integrated food security and farmer empowerment have become animportant issue today. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to analyze the level of participation of farmers in their group and the empowerment of farmers in the management of rice farming and the factors associated with it, and to analyze the impact of farmer empowerment on sustainability efforts. Fieldwork was conducted in May to June 2012 in two districts in West Java, by taking 239 farmers who had attended the farmer field school. Quantitative data were analyzed statistically based on the descriptive technique and Structural Equations Modeling (SEM). Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interview and observation to support the quantitative data. The results showed that: (1) The levels offarmer participation in the farmer group and the farmer empowerment were classified as low. The Variables that significantly affected the levels of farmer participation in the farmer group were: intensity of empowerment and personality traits. The variables that significantly affected the levels of farmer empowerment were: farmer participation in the farmer group, intensity of empowerment, physical and socio-economic environment, personality traits, and availability of agricultural information. (2) The prospects for sustainability efforts were classified as low. The level of farmer empowerment significantly affected the sustainability of farming; and (3) The increasing level of farmer empowerment can be achieved by better management of empowerment process, with increasing farmer participation in the farmer group, strengthening the availability of agricultural information, and the physical and socio economic environment."

"Keberpihakan kepada petani yang dianggap sebagai kelompok rentan seringkali digunakan sebagai pertimbangan populis dalam menjustifikasi lahirnya kebijakan protektif dari pengaruh eksternal. Contoh yang paling sesuai dapat dilihat pada kasus liberalisasi perdagangan beras di kawasan Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) di mana hingga saat ini masih menyisakan konsensus samar-samar tentang dampaknya terhadap capaian ketahanan pangan hingga pengaruhnya terhadap eksistensi petani beras yang sejatinya memiliki peran unik. Peran tersebut mencakup sebagai produsen maupun konsumen sehingga menjadikan langkah pemerintah semakin dilematis dan kompleks dalam rangka menjamin pangan bagi masyarakatnya. Oleh sebab itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dampak liberalisasi perdagangan ASEAN terhadap ketahanan pangan di Indonesia, khususnya pada kasus beras. Untuk menjawab tujuan tersebut digunakan gabungan pendekatan, yaitu Model Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) untuk menangkap perilaku perdagangan beras di kawasan ASEAN dan Model Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) untuk menyentuh dinamika perubahan konsumsi dan kesejahteraan pada kelompok rumah tangga petani beras. Di samping kedua model tersebut, beberapa pendekatan dikombinasikan untuk mendukung simulasi kebijakan yang dirancang, misalnya penggunaan Model Gravitasi dan simulasi Monte Carlo. Data yang digunakan berjenis data sekunder yang berasal dari basis data GTAP, Survei Sosial dan Ekonomi Nasional (Susenas), World Bank, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS), dan sebagainya.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa liberalisasi perdagangan ASEAN berdampak positif terhadap ketahanan pangan (beras) di Indonesia dibandingkan ketika restriksi perdagangan diterapkan. Kemajuan yang positif ini akan terekskalasi apabila diikuti dengan efisiensi biaya produksi padi/beras. Transmisi kondisi positif tersebut secara konsisten tidak hanya terjadi pada level nasional namun juga bermuara pada level rumah tangga petani padi/beras. Bahkan kelompok rumah tangga petani net produsen dan net konsumen beras menghadapi situasi better off, baik berupa peningkatan konsumsi beras, perbaikan pola konsumsi pangan, maupun welfare gaining ketika liberalisasi perdagangan ASEAN diberlakukan. Di sisi lain, agenda liberalisasi perdagangan ASEAN tidak hanya menyasar pada keterbukaan berkompetisi tetapi juga tawaran berkolaborasi melalui stok beras regional. Simulasi terkait stok beras tersebut ternyata mampu mendukung pencapaian ketahanan pangan nasional dan sekaligus mendorong peningkatan kesejahteraan rumah tangga petani padi/beras. Penelitian ini akhirnya mematahkan keyakinan umum yang memandang remeh peran liberalisasi perdagangan beras terhadap upaya penyediaan pangan masyarakat dan kehidupan petani.

There is an irony that occurs when trade liberalization is rejected in favor of pursuing national food security to protect farmers. This irony is farmers are worse off under national food security than they are under trade liberalization. Various concerns that have arisen were addressed with popular policies, especially the protection and raising of food prices. So why does commitment to trade liberalization seem to be a prestigious ambition only on paper. This study investigates this phenomenon as it occurs in the case of the impact of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) trade liberalization on Indonesian food (rice) security and rice farmers. We use a combined approach to solve it comprehensively. Our approach brings together the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) Model, Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) Model, Gravity Model, and Monte Carlo. These approaches rely on secondary data sourced from the GTAP database, National Socio-Economic Survey, World Bank, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS), and others.The findings of our research show that the ASEAN trade liberalization would have a positive impact on Indonesian food (rice) security if compared with trade restricted policies. These positive effects would be enhanced if the open market were to be followed by actions to increase efficiency and reduce the cost of rice. Furthermore, to see the consistency of these impacts, we scrutinize at rice farming households as net rice producers or net rice consumers. They are the nucleus of food security and saw improvements in rice consumption, food consumption pattern, and welfare gains when trade liberalization took place. Besides the vigorous competition that would result from trade liberalization, collaboration through regional rice stocks could help us to achieve national food security and farmer welfare. This research objectively defies common belief that underestimates the role of rice trade liberalization for feeding the nation and farmers life."

"Permasalahan sosial di lingkungan masyarakat semakin bervasiasi, dan potensinya cederung meningkat dari tahuan ketahun. Salah satunya yang sering terjadi adalah permasalahan orang asing dan ketenagakerjaan. Kabupaten Tangerang merupakan salah satu kawasan dengan tingkat aktifitas industri dan pembangunan yang tinggi. Industri dan pembangunan di negara berkembang sudah tentu memerlukan sumber daya manusia sebagai tenaga kerja, baik tenaga kerja yang berasal dari masyarakat lokal maupun luar negeri sebagai tenaga ahli dan program alih kemampuan. Namun pada kenyataannya banyak ketidaksesuaian antara yang seharusnya dan yang terjadi di lapangan. Oleh karena itu ketenagakerjaan asing perlu diawasi pelaksanaannya oleh pihak-pihak terkait seperti Dinas Imigrasi, TNI-Polri, dan unsur-unsur lainnya, yang pada pelaksanaanya dibentuk Tim Pengawasan Orang Asing (Timpora). Di pihak Kepolisian, termasuk polisi di Polres Kota Tangerang dalam menghadapai permasalahan sosial tersebut merupakan salah satu tugas dari Unit Pengawasan Orang Asing (POA) dibawah Satuan Intelijen Keamanan (Satintelkam). Terkait dengan hal inilah maka tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah menganalisis mekanisme atau praktik pengawasan orang asing oleh Unit POA di wilayah hukum Polres Kota Tangerang, termasuk potensi ancaman serta hal-hal yang menghambat yang menyertainnya.

Social problems in the community are increasingly varied, and their potential tends to increase from year to year. One of the things that often happens is the problem of foreigners and employment. Tangerang Regency is an area with a high level of industrial activity and development. Industry and development in developing countries of course require human resources as workers, both workers from local communities and abroad as experts and skills transfer programs. But in reality there are many discrepancies between what should be and what is happening in the field. Therefore, the implementation of foreign manpower needs to be monitored by relevant parties such as the Immigration Service, TNI- Polri, and other elements, in which the Foreigner Supervision Team is formed. On the police side, including the police at the Tangerang City Police, dealing with these social problems is one of the tasks of the Foreigner Monitoring Unit. Related to this, the main objective of this research is to analyze the mechanism or practice of monitoring foreigners by the Foreigner Monitoring Unit in the jurisdiction of the Tangerang City Police, including the potential threats and the things that hinder them. To answer this problem, this research will be conducted using qualitative methods, using intelligence theory and basic intelligence, human resource management, supervision and immigration concepts to interpret the implementation of surveillance of foreigners by the Police. Data were collected by conducting interviews, observation and documentation, while data were analyzed qualitatively using interactive methods."

"Tanaman Padi merupakan jenis tanaman pangan yang dibudidayakan melalui dataran rendah, salah satu kebutuhan pokok masyarakat dunia dan sumber penghidupan bagi sebagian besar masyarakat Indonesia. Namun jumlah produksi beras di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah dibandingkan dengan tingkat konsumsi masyarakat, sehingga perlu mendapat perhatian lebih dalam mendukung terwujudnya swasembada pangan. Salah satu upaya untuk mencapai hal tersebut dilakukan dengan pemantauan, seperti kondisi kesehatan. Penggunaan penginderaan jauh seperti Citra Sentinel-2 dan SPOT-6 dengan algoritma NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) dapat digunakan untuk menganalisis kesehatan tanaman padi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis persebaran kondisi kesehatan tanaman padi di Kecamatan Parakansalak, Kabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa Barat menggunakan citra satelit Sentinel-2 dan SPOT-6 yang diolah dengan algoritma NDVI dan mengetahui hubungannya dengan nilai NDVI hasil survei lapangan juga faktor fisik lingkungan dan tanaman. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa kesehatan tanaman padi di Kecamatan Parakansalak cukup tinggi dengan didominasi klasifikasi kesehatan yang baik seluas 197 hektar atau 52% dari lahan eksisting oleh Sentinel-2, dan sebaran nilai NDVI pada citra SPOT-6 memiliki pola spasial yang serupa. Persentase ini menunjukkan bahwa sebaran nilai NDVI relatif tinggi dan tanaman memiliki kerapatan yang tinggi. Adapun kesehatan tanaman padi dengan nilai NDVI hasil survei lapang menunjukkan hubungan dengan nilai R sebesar 0,929. Berdasarkan hasil overlay dan jumlah sampel yang sedikit ini, Tanaman padi dengan kesehatan lebih tinggi sebagian besar berada pada wilayah dengan lereng yang landai dan dekat dengan jaringan irigasi tersebar di lahan sawah Kecamatan Parakansalak. Sehingga kemudian hasil yang baik ini masih memiliki banyak kekurangan dan memerlukan studi lebih lanjut.

Rice is a type of food plant that is cultivated through the lowlands, one of the basic needs of the world community and source of livelihood for most Indonesian people. However, the amount of rice production in Indonesia is still relatively low compared to the level of public consumption, so it needs more attention in supporting the realization of food self-sufficiency. One of the efforts to achieve this is through monitoring, such as health conditions. The use of remote sensing such as Sentinel-2 and SPOT-6 with NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) algorithm can be used to analyze the health of rice plants. This study aims to analyze the distribution of the health condition of rice plants in Parakansalak District, Sukabumi Regency using Sentinel-2 and SPOT-6 satellite imagery which were processed by the NDVI algorithm and knowing the relationship with an NDVI value from field survey with the physical factors. The results of the study concluded that the health of rice plants in Parakansalak District was quite high with a good health classification dominated by an area of 197 hectares or 52% of the existing land by Sentinel-2, and the distribution of NDVI values in SPOT-6 images had a similar spatial pattern. This percentage indicates that the distribution of NDVI values is relatively high and the plants have a high density. The health of rice plants with an NDVI value from the results of a field survey showed a relationship with an R value of 0.929. Based on the results of the overlay and the small number of samples, the rice plants with higher health are mostly located in areas with gentle slopes and close to irrigation networks scattered in the paddy fields of Parakansalak District. So then this good result still has many shortcomings and requires further study."

Pest and disease infestation disturb plant growth as well as threaten food security. Identification of plant growth disorders accurately and quickly can be done with remote sensing technology. Stem borer infestation is endemic and become a problem in rice producing areas i.e., Margoyoso Sub-district, Pati Regency. The objective of this study was to analyze growth disturbances of rice based on NDVI, NDWI, and NDYI from Sentinel-2 image data on irrigated rice fields in Margoyoso District, Pati Regency, synthesize the spectral pattern of rice plants attacked by HPT and to investigate the relationship between climate parameters and pest-disease infestation. The variable used is the rice plant growth index which is accessed and processed online using the Google Earth Engine based on cloud computing. Sentinel-2 imagery based on open source was used in this study. During the usage of Sentinel-2 multi-spectral image, the NDVI, NDWI, AND NDYI algorithm was applied to determine the presence or absence of rice plant growth disturbances. The spectral pattern of infected plants is known by using spectrometer data. The regressions were done to analyze the effect of climate parameters on the pest-disease infestation. The results showed that the largest area of pest-disease infestation was caused by stem borer. There are two classes of plant growth conditions from the beginning of planting to the maximum vegetative phase, namely healthy and disturbed. The healthy class area is 522.51 ha or 57.42%, while the disturbed class is 68.59 ha or 5.95%. The rest are classified as unclassified. The NIR band is the most sensitive wavelength to stem borer and WBC attacks. There are no correlations between the stem borer infestation area and rainfall as well as temperature. There are correlations between the stem borer infestation area and both of humidity and solar energy. Information on the relationship between climate parameters and pest-disease infestation can be used to anticipate pest-disease infestation in future, so yield losses can be minimized."

"Padi yang dapat dibudidayakan di lahan kering diperlukan untuk meningkatkan ketahanan pangan. Analisis morfologis dan molekuler merupakan salah satu cara untuk mengetahui toleransi tanaman terhadap kekeringan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan varietas padi yang tahan kekeringan melalui analisis morfologis serta molekuler. Sampel yang digunakan terdiri dari INPARI 32, INPARI 42, Pare Bakato Kaka, dan Pare Lambem yang ditumbuhkan pada dua perlakuan yaitu kontrol dan kekeringan (germinasi pada PEG 6000 20% dan modifikasi penyiraman). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase perkecambahan, bobot radikula, dan rata-rata jumlah daun (35 HST) pada tiap varietas tergolong toleran, sementara itu untuk skor kelengkungan daun diketahui bahwa Pare Lambem menunjukkan kondisi daun yang tergolong agak peka (skor 5), sedangkan tiga varietas lain tergolong kategori toleran (skor 1). Data tinggi tanaman serta panjang daun pada 7 HST dan 35 HST menunjukkan pola hasil yang sama, yakni Pare Lambem berbeda signifikan pada perlakuan kontrol dan kekeringan berdasarkan uji t (kategori peka), sementara varietas lain termasuk kategori toleran. Berdasarkan tujuh parameter uji, diperoleh kategori toleransi total. Pare Lambem tergolong kategori agak toleran (42,8%), sedangkan varietas lain tergolong kategori toleran (85,7%). Hasil analisis molekuler menunjukkan bahwa fragmen OsDREB2A terdapat pada varietas uji serta memiliki homologi 100% dengan sekuens DREB2A dari kultivar Pokkali. Mutasi sekuens tidak ditemukan pada urutan nukleotida maupun asam amino dari sampel varietas uji terhadap spesies pembanding. Struktur protein pada sampel uji menunjukkan kemiripan dengan model protein dari kultivar Pokkali. Varietas Jawa (peka) menunjukkan perbedaan sekuens nukleotida, asam amino, dan struktur protein terhadap kultivar Pokkali dan sampel uji.

Rice that can be grown in dry land is needed to increase food security. Morphological and molecular analysis are mechanisms to determine the drought tolerance level of plants. This study aims to determine drought-resistant rice varieties through morphological and molecular analysis. The samples used consisted of INPARI 32, INPARI 42, Pare Bakato Kaka, and Pare Lambem grown in two treatments (control and drought treatment (PEG 6000 20% and water modification)). The results showed that the percentage of germination, radicle weight, and the average number of leaves (35 DAP) in each variety belonged to the tolerant category, while for the leaf curvature scores, it was known that Pare Lambem showed a leaf condition that was classified as sensitive category (score 5), while the other three varieties belonged to the tolerant category (score 1). Data on plant height and leaf length at 7 DAP and 35 DAP showed the same yield pattern, namely Pare Lambem was significantly different in the control and drought treatment samples based on the t-test (sensitive category), while other varieties were in the tolerant category. Based on the seven test parameters, the total tolerance category was obtained. Pare Lambem was classified into the slightly tolerant category (42.8%), while other varieties were classified as tolerant (85.7%). The molecular analysis results showed the presence of OsDREB2A in all tested varieties also had 100% homology with DREB2A sequences from the Pokkali. Sequence mutations were not found in the nucleotide or amino acid sequences of the tested samples against the comparison species. The protein structures of the tested samples showed similarities to the protein model of the Pokkali cultivar. The Java variety (sensitive) showed differences in nucleotide sequences, amino acids, and protein structure against Pokkali and tested samples."

Food security and sustainable development are major concerns for urban communities due to high urbanization, limited land, and low local food production. Urban farming emerged as a solution with the aim of producing local food, improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture on small plots of land. In the context of urban farming, knowledge of farming methods on narrow land is the key to success in cultivating food products. However, the challenge of entering urban farming is considerable as it requires sufficient knowledge and lack of other support systems. Therefore, there is a need for a digital service that provides comprehensive, detailed and structured information on urban farming that can be widely accessed by the public. At first, the author conducted a systematic literature review to find gaps with previous research. The research methodology used is design science research that combines mixed methods consisting of qualitative research and quantitative research. Qualitative research was conducted on 20 interviewees with semi structured using open questions. Then, the results of the qualitative research were analyzed with thematic analysis and were the source of reference for making the digital urban farming service adoption model. In the quantitative research, researchers distributed questionnaires online and obtained 573 respondents. The final result is a digital urban farming service interface design in the form of a high fidelity prototype according to user needs from the perspective of urban farming actors and practitioners in related fields of science obtained through interviews and questionnaires. Analysis and design of the application provides interface design solutions, and will be tested by urban farming actors and the public through expert review, usability testing, and Post Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ). The results of the interface design evaluation show that the design of urban farming digital services can provide satisfaction to users to adopt these services in terms of usability. This research aims to support users to get the information, resources, and support needed in urban farming. Based on the Design Science Research methodology, the prototype incorporates various features, such as education, forum, expert consultation, reminders, assistance, and e-marketplace. This research contributes to promoting and supporting food security with the help of digital platforms in urban environments.
