Food Self-Sufficiency Among Rice Farming Households and Its Determining Factors in Kota Utara Subdistrict, Gorontalo
Abstract
The decline in the area of rice fields in the Kota Utara District in the last five years has the potential to stabilize food availability which can threaten the food independence of farmers’ household. This study aims to determine the level of food independence (rice) and the factors that affect it in rice field farmer households in Kota Utara District. In contrast to previous research in general, this study adapts the self-sufficiency ratio (SSR) approach at the household level to look more spesifically at the ability of farmers’ households to meet the food needs of their own farming products. The sample from this study consisted of 57 farmers obtained through disproportionate stratified sampling techniques. The analysis techniques used were self-sufficiency ratio analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that the farming households are food self-sufficient with an SSR value of 281%. Land area, rice consumption, and number of family members have a significant effect meanwhile expenditure on rice and rice production have a marginal significance at the level of significance of 10% in the level of household food independence and have a contribution of 84.5% to the variable level of food independence. These findings extend the application of SSR in assessing food self-sufficiency at the farm household level.
