Judul: Pemodelan Ketahanan Pangan Indonesia dengan Menggunakan Partial Least Square Path Modelling (PLS-PM)
Abstrak: More priority to food security for every individual to gain access to nutritious food and its absorption by the achievement of a healthy and productive life. UU No.7 of 1996 states that food security is a condition of availability of adequate food quantity and quality, safe, equitable and affordable. Thus the availability of food is not the only factor that determines the achievement of food security, but access and absorption of food factors also affect the achievement of food security. Some of the goals of this study include: determine the variables contained in the factor of food availability, access, absorption and food security in Indonesia, knowing the influence factors of food availability, access and absorption of food to food security in Indonesia, and develop a relationship model of factors of food availability, access and absorption of food by using partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) based on indicators that have been established. The data used in this study is secondary data, with reference to the indicators used in the manufacture of food insecurity Indonesia map prepared by the Food Security Council of RI. The analysis showed that the latent variable food availability, food access and food absorption significantly affected the food security of latent variables at 95% confidence level. R2 value of 0.400 for this model which means that 40% of the diversity of the latent variables of food security that can be explained by a latent variable food availability, food access and food absorption, rest influenced by other factors.

Judul: Structural Model of Food Security in Coastal Villages and Highland Villages Based on Data Desa Presisi in Subang Regency
Abstrak: Pangan merupakan sesuatu yang dibutuhkan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas masyarakat. Namun, isu ketahanan pangan merupakan masalah yang tersebar dimana-mana. Indikator ketahanan pangan berguna untuk mengukur kemampuan ketahanan pangan di setiap daerah. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi ketahanan pangan di desa Legonwetan sebagai desa pesisir dan desa Sagalaherang Kidul sebagai desa dataran tinggi berdasarkan indikator ketahanan pangan berdasarkan Data Desa Presisi dan mengukur pengaruh etnis terhadap ketahanan pangan. Data penelitian ini sangat spesifik untuk tingkat keluarga dan diperoleh dari program Data Desa Presisi dengan 2342 rumah tangga. Kajian ini menggunakan metode Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) untuk mengukur pengaruh ketahanan pangan dan etnisitas penduduk. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peubah ketersediaan pangan dapat dijelaskan sebesar 92,0% dan 82,5% di desa Sagalaherang Kidul dan desa Legon Wetan dari peubah aksesibilitas pangan. Peubah kualitas pangan, aksesibilitas pangan, ketersediaan pangan, dan etnisitas berpengaruh terhadap ketahanan pangan.
