Judul: The Role of Women Farmer’s Empowerment in the
Household Food and Nutrition Security
Abstrak: Penelitian ini berusaha menjawab pertanyaan tentang bagaimana hubungan keberdayaan perempuan di dalam rumah tangga pertanian pedesaan dengan ketahanan pangan dan gizi rumah tangganya, terutama di daerah dengan beban masalah gizi kronis yang tinggi. Metode penelitian lapangan yang dipilih adalah sequential mixed method design yang menggabungkan antara metode penelitian kuantitatif dan kualitatif untuk mendapatkan informasi yang lebih mendalam. Penelitian ini menunjukkan tingginya prevalensi kemiskinan pedesaan, kerawanan pangan dan beban gizi ganda di lokasi penelitian. Selain itu sebagian besar responden merupakan petani kecil dengan tingkat keberdayaan pertanian yang rendah baik pada kelompok laki-laki dan perempuan. Dengan demikian, ketidakberdayaan perempuan di lokasi penelitian hendaknya dilihat sebagai bagian dari isu kemiskinan struktural pedesaan. Keberdayaan perempuan memiliki peran positif terhadap peningkatan ketahanan pangan keluarga dan keragaman diet perempuan, tetapi tidak menunjukkan kaitan langsung dengan keragaman diet anak maupun status gizinya. Peningkatan keberdayaan perempuan petani memiliki peran penting untuk peningkatan ketahanan pangan rumah tangga dan keragaman diet perempuan. Namun, dalam konteks yang lebih luas sebagaimana ditemukan dalam eksplorasi kualitatif, hambatan terbesar untuk pemanfaatan sumber pangan yang beragam dan berkualitas adalah akses ke sumber pangan. Ini termasuk hambatan ekonomi dan fisik, seperti rendahnya pendapatan dan akses ke pasar, baik sebagai penjual maupun pembeli., This study aimed to answer the question on the relationship between women's empowerment in rural agricultural households and their food and nutrition security, especially in areas with a high burden of chronic malnutrition. The study utilized the sequential mixed method design that combines quantitative and qualitative research to obtain richer information. We found high prevalence of rural poverty, food insecurity which overlap with double burden of malnutrition among the households surveyed. Most respondents were small holder farmers with low levels of agricultural empowerment, both in male and female. Thus, the women’s disempowerment in this context should be seen as part of larger structural poverty issue. The women’s empowerment showed a positive influence in increasing the household’s and women's food security but had not shown a direct relationship with the children's diets or nutritional status. Increasing the empowerment of women farmers especially is pivotal for increasing the household’s and women's dietary diversity. However, within the broader context as it was found in the qualitative exploration, the biggest barrier for utilization of diverse and quality food sources was access to these food sources. These include economic and physical barriers, such as limited income and access to markets, both as sellers and buyers.

Judul: Analisis Gender pada Ketahanan Pangan Rumah Tangga Petani Agroforestri (Kasus: Desa Sukaluyu, Kecamatan Nanggung, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: Ketahanan pangan masih menjadi isu global yang mendapat perhatian serius dari berbagai negara internasional. Pertanian dengan sistem agroforestri dapat ditawarkan untuk mengatasi masalah pangan. Namun, permasalahan ketidaksetaraan gender dinilai dapat menjadi penyebab masalah kerawanan pangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan ketahanan pangan rumah tangga petani agroforestri dan kaitannya dengan pengambilan keputusan rumah tangga serta peran pembagian peran dalam pengelolaan pangan rumah tangga petani agroforestri. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan mengambil sampel 60 rumah tangga petani agroforestri di Desa Sukaluyu, Kecamatan Nanggung, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat. Data kuantitatif dikumpulkan dengan instrumen kuesioner dan didukung dengan data kualitatif melalui panduan wawancara mendalam. Hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan adanya hubungan positif antara pembagian peran gender dengan tipe pengambilan keputusan rumah tangga petani agroforestri. Hubungan positif juga ditemukan antara tipe pengambilan keputusan rumah tangga dalam menentukan alokasi lahan untuk budidaya dengan ketahanan pangan rumah tangga petani agroforestri., Food security is still a global issue that has received serious attention from various international countries. Agriculture with agroforestry systems offered to address the food problem. However, the problem of gender inequality is considered to be the cause of the problem of food insecurity. This study aims to map the household food security of agroforestry farmers and its correlation to household decision making and the role of division of roles in agroforestry farmer household food management. This study used a survey method by taking a sample of 60 agroforestry farmer households in Sukaluyu Village, Nanggung District, Bogor Regency, West Java. Quantitative data is collected with questionnaire instrument and supported by qualitative data through in-depth interview guides. The results of this study found a positive correlation between the division of gender roles and the type of household decision making for agroforestry farmers. The positive relationships were also found between the type of household decision making in determining the allocation of land for cultivation with household food security of agroforestry farmers.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
