Judul: Determinants of Household Food Security: A Comparative Analysis of Eastern and Non-Eastern Indonesia
Abstrak: Food security at the national, regional and district level do not ensure food security at household level. The facts that although at a national, regional and districts level the status of food security is assured, but in the region and districts is still found the food insecure households. Moreover, domination of Indonesian food policies which mostly emphasize in rice production and keep the price of rice remained low lead to the provinces with high in rice production but also high problems of hunger and malnutrition. In 2009, Indonesian Food Security Council issued a Food Security and Vulnerability Atlas (FSVA) which stated that there were 100 districts in Indonesia, which were most vulnerable to food insecurity based on the composite food security index. Of the 100 districts, 79 of which (79 percent) were located in Eastern Indonesia. This shows that the implemented food policy in Indonesia is still emphasized in the rice production and have not able to tackle, especially the problems of availability, access, utilization and stability of food security. Therefore, handling of food security in Indonesia must involve all factors, including food availability, food accessibility, food utilization, and food stability simultaneously. Based on the above description, the objectives of this study are: 1) To analyze the condition of household food security in Eastern Indonesia compared to non-Eastern Indonesia 2) To analyze the determinants of household food security in Eastern Indonesia compared to non-Eastern Indonesia. The data used in this study are SUSENAS module of consumption and expenditure which was collected in July 2008 and Susenas kor 2008. Both data cover 285,904 households from Eastern and non-Eastern region. The status of household food security is identified by two indicators: per adult-equivalent calorie availability and per adult-equivalent share of expenditure. Ordinal logistic regression used as the method to analyze the data. On the average, the calorie availability of households in Eastern and non-Eastern Indonesia has been already more than the requirements to be food secure households (80 percent). However, the share of food expenditures is also still more than 60 percent lead to the food vulnerable households. The households with this characteristic are susceptible to the shock. The problem of food vulnerability is not only applied in Eastern Indonesia, but also in non-Eastern Indonesia. The factors of expenditure equivalent, gender of household head, age of household head, education of household head, main occupation of household head, household location, and household size are all significant determinants of household food security in Eastern and non-Eastern Indonesia. The difference is in the factors of access to electricity which is not significant in Eastern Indonesia and access to loan and access to safe drinking water which are only significant in non-Eastern Indonesia.

Judul: Determinant of Regional Food Security and Household Food Security in East Java Province.
Abstrak: Food availibility is a necessary but not sufficient condition for regional food security. Regional food security does not guarantee household food security. This study aims is to determine the factors that affect regional food security and households food security in East Java Province. The analysis was done by using the 2002, 2005 and 2008 SUSENAS data and other supporting data. Regional food security analysis was conducted by using panel data regression. Meanwhile, household food security analysis was conducted by using ordinal logistic regression. The results shows improved food security and convergence between districts in East Java Province. Production of paddy, education, roads and market infrastructure significantly affect regional food security. Income per capita, the classification of regional (urban/rural), education of household head, age of household head, household size, occupation of household head, and food aid significantly affect households food security.
