Abstract

In developing countries, rural farmers contribute significantly to food production, but their households are still vulnerable to poverty, food insecurity, malnutrition, and stunting. Although quantitative studies have explored the factors that influence farmers' dietary diversity, the data can be improved by integrating farmers' experiences and perspectives on whether and how these factors affect their dietary diversity. Malnutrition and food insecurity are more prevalent in developing and underdeveloped nations like Africa and Southeast Asia. Due to increased work, this country usually sees a rise in stunting, malnutrition, and increased physical activity. Stunting has a higher prevalence than other nutritional disorders, such as malnutrition, according to Nutrition Status Monitoring (NSM) data over the last three years. The frequency of stunting in children under five has risen from 27% in 2016 to 29% in 2017. This will assist in designing and implementing interventions. Forty rural farmers in Bone Regency, Indonesia, became informants in targeted interviews as part of the qualitative study (20 male and 20 female farmers). According to the research results, both male and female informants were concerned about the availability and variety of food. They feel that household food production is essential to achieve food security. Food sales are affected by prices, household income, distance to markets, and the range of food available. Household food production, knowledge, nutrition, availability, use of information, time, and household income are significant determinants of the variety of food consumed. In farming households, gender influences and variations on the distribution and use of food collected and income are explored. Men have more time to engage in agricultural endeavors that promote dietary diversity. Based on these findings, efforts to increase dietary diversity should address current food security and production challenges, support increased farm incomes and market access, utilize designs that address gender issues, and include nutrition capacity building, diverse practices, and social behavior change strategies. Key words: rural farmers, food security, food diversity, nutrition, market access, Indonesia

通过定性研究了解印度尼西亚农村农户对粮食安全的看法
在发展中国家,农村农民为粮食生产做出了巨大贡献,但他们的家庭仍然容易陷入贫困、粮食不安全、营养不良和发育迟缓。尽管定量研究已经探讨了影响农民膳食多样性的因素,但如果能结合农民的经验和观点,说明这些因素是否以及如何影响他们的膳食多样性,就能改进这些数据。营养不良和粮食不安全在非洲和东南亚等发展中国家和欠发达国家更为普遍。由于工作增加,这些国家通常会出现发育迟缓、营养不良和体力活动增加的情况。根据过去三年的营养状况监测(NSM)数据,发育迟缓的发病率高于营养不良等其他营养失调。五岁以下儿童发育迟缓的发生率从2016年的27%上升到2017年的29%。这将有助于设计和实施干预措施。作为定性研究的一部分,印度尼西亚 Bone 县的 40 名农村农民成为定向访谈的信息提供者(20 名男性农民和 20 名女性农民)。研究结果显示,男性和女性受访者都对粮食的供应和种类表示担忧。他们认为,家庭粮食生产对实现粮食安全至关重要。食品销售受价格、家庭收入、市场距离和食品种类的影响。家庭粮食生产、知识、营养、可用性、信息利用、时间和家庭收入是决定食物消费种类的重要因素。在农户中,探讨了性别对所收集食物的分配和使用以及收入的影响和变化。男性有更多的时间从事农业活动,从而促进饮食多样性。基于这些发现,提高膳食多样性的工作应解决当前的粮食安全和生产挑战,支持增加农业收入和市场准入,利用解决性别问题的设计,并包括营养能力建设、多样化实践和社会行为改变战略。关键词:农村农民、粮食安全、食物多样性、营养、市场准入、印度尼西亚
