A questionnaire was utilized to gather the data. The purposive sampling technique was used, involving respondents who practice a green lifestyle and have had green product purchasing experience. The data were analyzed using the three-stage hypothesis analysis model: Simultaneous variable testing (F-testing), coefficient of determination (R2), and partially hypothesis testing (t-testing). Simultaneous variable testing results stated that simultaneously green brand, attitude, and green knowledge influencing green product purchase intention. The three independent variables, namely green brand positioning, attitude, and green knowledge, explain 69.20% of the green product purchase intention variation while unknown variables influence the rest. Green brand positioning and green brand knowledge variable have a significant influence on green product purchase intention.

Forest plays an important role to support a global environment. Currently, forest degradation occurs in developing countries. Therefore, the excellent strategies to against the forest degradation must be found. One of the best solutions is understanding the information of vegetation condition. Here, the objective of this paper was to apply a method as the assessment of vegetation monitoring using satellite data in the integration of conservation education forest at great forest Wan Abdul Rachman in Lampung Province, Indonesia. In this study, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) was used, completed with satellite data (namely MODIS). This technique helps in monitoring vegetation status. Data NDVI from MODIS satellite data showed that forest area decrease very small from 2000-2017. The data was obtained for June, July, and the end of September.

Increases in air temperature indicate a global climate change. Thus, information in the change of temperature regional scale is important to support global data. The present research was conducted in Gifu city and Ogaki city located in Gifu prefecture, Japan. The results showed that, average air temperatures in both cities are quite similar with a difference value of under 1 o C. Maximum air temperature in Gifu city is significantly higher than Ogaki city, whereas minimum air temperature in Gifu city is significantly lower than in Ogaki city. Daily range of air temperature in Gifu city significantly higher than in Ogaki city. In both cities, air temperature relatively increased in three decades. This is because of different in land characteristics in both cities.

Abstract. Murniati K, Mutolib A. 2020. The impact of climate change on the household food security of upland rice farmers in Sidomulyo, Lampung Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 3487-3493.  Climate change in the agricultural sector, particularly food crops, significantly decreases the production, causing the anomaly influences of El-Niño (drought) and La-Nina (flood). Climate change will have an impact on food availability and accessibility, thereby disrupting the food security and vulnerability of farmer households. This study aimed to: analyze the livelihood vulnerabilities, determine the food security level, and assess the livelihood vulnerability on the food security of upland rice farmer households against climate change. This study was conducted in Sidomulyo Sub-district, South Lampung District. The samples were randomly selected among farmers, resulting in 66 selected farmers. The analysis included: the livelihood vulnerability index– intergovernmental panel of climate change (LVI-IPCC), food security index based on the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, and the Ordinal Model Logit (Ologit). The results showed that the upland rice farmer’s household had a livelihood vulnerability of 0.071, belonged to the medium category.  Most farmer households (77.27%) were categorized as food secure.   The “secure” category in the food security index is obtained if the upland rice farmers fulfill three criteria includes food availability, food stability, and food sustainability.  The strategy of climate change adaptation, rice price, and phonska fertilizer price affects the food security of farmers’ households.  Climate change adaptation strategies are indispensable for sustainable food security.
