The increase in the Covid-19 second wave in Indonesia has made the government implement a stricter policy to implement Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM). This activity aims to provide actionable solutions to maintain family food security through the community movement to grow vegetables. The method used in this activity is the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method which begins with FGD, counseling, and field practice. The activity implementer can become a facilitator and directly facilitate the community carrying out activities. The empowerment program was carried out in Kepuharjo Village, Malang Regency, with the main target being housewives. As a result of this activity, participants who attended the FGD and the facilitator decided to create a community movement in independent vegetable growing to stay productive during the pandemic. Community movement was conducted for two weeks, during which the activity implementation team provided all materials, planting media, and seeds. During the two weeks running, 53 housewives grew vegetables independently. Based on the evaluation results, this activity is very effective and efficient for household food fulfillment. Ninety-seven percent of homemakers say that they can increase their food needs with this movement, so they don't have to buy. Of course, it has an impact on saving household expenses. As many as 90 percent of homemakers do this activity and repeat it after harvest. So that the continuity of this activity can run well, besides decreasing spending, this activity can also improve health by producing healthier vegetables.

Stunting is a condition of chronic growth failure experienced by toddlers that can cause children to experience difficulties in achieving optimal growth and development according to their age. Stunting can be minimized if the factors that affect stunting in the region can be controlled properly. Many factors are thought to influence the incidence of stunting, one of which is food security. If food insecurity occurs in a household, this can increase the proportion of stunting events that are increasing which can directly increase the national stunting incidence rate and will continue to be a major health problem in Indonesia. Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between household food security and household social factors with the incidence of stunting. The research was conducted in Palembang City, precisely at the 11 Ilir Health Center in Palembang. The research method used is a cross-sectional design. The determination of the research sample was carried out by purposive sampling based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the sample that had been determined in this study. The research sample was toddlers aged 0 – 59 months totaling 40 people. Analysis of the data used is chi-square with = 0.05. In this study, it was found that there was a significant relationship between household food security (p = 0.031), and household size (p = 0.000) with the incidence of stunting, while for the variable mother's age (p = 0.393) and mother's education level (p = 0.283) is known to have no significant relationship with the incidence of stunting. Household food security is directly related to the incidence of stunting, families in households who are not food insecure tend to have children under five who are classified as stunting, this is due to the lack of nutritional intake received both in terms of quantity and quality and does not meet the nutritional adequacy standard for stunting toddlers. It is hoped that to reduce the incidence of stunting, the government needs to add a local food-based work program in reducing the incidence of stunting.

Food security exists when all people, at all times, have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to maintain healthy and productive lives. This study was carried out to investigate the household food security status of dairy farmer at three villages of Shahjadpur Upazila of Sirajganj District. This study was based on primary data and a semi-structured interview schedule was used for collecting data during January to March 2018. Data were collected from a random sample of 60 where the total dairy farmers were 240. Food security status of household of dairy farmer was measured on the basis of their per capita calorie consumption per day. Pearson’s Product Moment Coefficient Correlation (r) was computed to explore the relationship of the respondents selected characteristics and their food security status. It is 40% percent moderately food secured per year, 25% household had food secured per year and 35% households were low food secured per year. Dairy farmer’s Annual income, training, experience, credit received had a significant positive relationship with their household food security status.

Abstract Purpose: To investigate the consequence covid-19 lockdown on food security among a cohort of peri-urban households in Hoima city. Research methodology: A descriptive survey was employed targeting 186 respondents. Data were collected using a researcher-designed self-administered questionnaire and analysed using quantitative statistics. Specifically, chi-square was employed to establish whether the hypothesis held sway; also, regression analysis was employed with a view of forecasting the degree of change in household food security due to covid-19 lockdown. Results: The period of lockdown announced and implemented by the government had a positive consequence on food security. Nonetheless, the economic hardships overturned the successes otherwise achieved as a number of households sold off much of the food so as acquire other household items. Recommendations: While the government is credited for instituting a lockdown as a means to reduce the spread of covid-19 virus, it is recommended that city authorities are encouraged to boost urban farming by distributing agri-inputs to households in the peri-urban seeing that their daily incomes are already constrained. Contribution: The findings of this study may be useful to city authorities in Uganda in evolving a guide on integration of food security as a cross-cutting issue in the overall strategic disaster management plan. This article makes an input to the budding field of understanding by underlining inroads that can generate more sustainable urban community livelihoods through food security.
