| description | Food security is a complex phenomenon encompassing many aspects. Pursuing
food security is a significant issue for most nations, including Indonesia. This study
considers the prominent role of the economic dimension, shown by the share of food
expenditure, in improving the level of food security. By examining the effect on food
security of food expenditure in the diverse economic conditions across the regions of
Indonesia, this study finds that food expenditure share is the most important factor to
ensure the food security status.
This research study uses Jonnson and Toole (1991)�s methods, following
Maxwell et al. (2000) to describe the food security status in Indonesia. It uses cross
analysis between the share of food expenditure and calorie intake to show the level of
food security. Food security status is classified into four categories (food secure, less
secure, vulnerable, and insecure) which are determined using two standard requirements
of calorie intake, the National Food and Nutrition Symposium Standard and the World
Bank Standard.
Our findings for the cross analysis between food expenditure share and calorie
consumption using the National Food and Nutrition Symposium Standard reveal that all
urban areas are food secure areas, and rural areas include both food secure areas and
food vulnerable areas. The findings based on the World Bank Standard classify urban
areas as either food secure areas or food less secure areas, and classify rural areas as all
four types: food secure areas, food less secure areas, food vulnerable areas, and food
insecure areas. Finally, based on this study�s findings, the implementation of policies
that support the increasing of incomes and knowledge of nutrition is suggested as means
of strengthening Indonesia�s food security. |
