Artificial neural network (ANN) has widely used to various sectors in agriculture. In term of food security management, ANN used to determine food crisis level based on its factors. The aim of this research is to increase ANN performance in term of pattern recognition by advanced learning using updated data as well as ANN weight analysis. This research has used multi-layer perceptron 2 hidden layers with backpropagation algorithm. The input-output patterns were food crisis factors and crisis level, respectively. Result showed that advance learning could increase accuracy level. It was from 70,55% to 85,38%. Based on weight analysis of ANN neuron, factors that affected to crisis level were: (1) crop failure/natural disaster, (2) normative consumption ratio, (3) rice price, (4) stock exchange, (5) infant mortality, (6) non forest area, (7) currency, (8) people under poverty line, (9) underweight infant and (10) annual rainfall. The 3 big factors are critical aspect should be concerned in food crisis management. Keywords: ANN, backpropagation, food crisis management, food security

ABSTRACTThis article focuses on local agency in two near-famines in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Flanders. Our comparative analysis of the food crises of 1740 and 1845–1847 in Flanders exposes the local mechanisms of coping and protection, both in an informal and a formal way. The main thesis is that the impact of hunger crises in peasant societies is directly related to the level of stress absorption within the local village community. Our findings contradict the traditional vision of a more-or-less straightforward shift in famine crisis management from rural, local and informal to urban, supra-local and formal. The success of surmounting a food crisis has always had local roots.
