“…As development takes place, private ownership and management of natural resources grow in relative importance, replacing the communal control and open access that predominate in early stages. This has important implications for stewardship of environmental and ecosystem resources (Environmental System) and sustainability (81,82). As development proceeds, domestic conglomerates form, trade and foreign direct investment expand, and transnational food manufacturing and supermarkets linked into global value chains enter the market (83).…”

We argue that food and nutrition security is driven by complex underlying systems and that both research and policy in this area would benefit from a systems approach. We present a framework for such an approach, examine key underlying systems, and identify transdisciplinary modeling tools that may prove especially useful.complexity | agri-food | health | disease | environment N utrition is a fundamental human need, affecting health and well-being throughout the lifespan in myriad ways. A central concept in the study of human nutrition is food and nutrition security, which is typically defined as "when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life" (1). The absence of food and nutrition security can have significant consequences for individuals and for society, including malnutrition, obesity, disease, and poverty.Despite rapid growth in agricultural production over the past four decades, significant malnutrition persists. Average per-capita food consumption was below the recommended 2,200 kcal/d in 33 countries in 2003. Globally, more than 850 million people lack adequate access to food on a regular basis, with a third of these in East and Southeast Asia, another third in South Asia, and a quarter in sub-Saharan Africa. In sub-Saharan Africa, one of the most food-insecure regions, the number of hungry people has gone up by 20% since 1990; more than a third of the population is undernourished in such countries as Kenya and Tanzania. There are 126 million underweight children in the world and over 2 billion people who suffer from micronutrient deficiency (2-4).At the same time, there has been an alarming rise in obesity in the developed world (5, 6) and, increasingly, in the developing world as well (7-9). The obesity rate in the United States doubled between 1970 and 2000, to almost 30% (5); worldwide, nearly 1.5 billion people are now overweight or obese (9). Like malnutrition, obesity has significant implications for public health (10, 11) and health care costs (12). Obesity can coexist in the same populations as malnutrition, and it may be linked to the same forces that drive reductions in malnutrition (13, 14). Complexity of Food and Nutrition SecurityBoth phenomena, malnutrition and obesity, are manifestations of widespread food and nutrition insecurity. The determinants of this insecurity are complex. A primary driver of food security or insecurity is the agricultural food system. The agrifood system spans a series of interrelated processes, including production of raw food materials through farming and raising of livestock, processing and packaging for consumption, distribution, and utilization by consumers (15). These processes are affected by a range of influences, including diffusion of agricultural technology (16, 17), functioning of capital markets, infrastructure at both local and regional/global levels, organization of firms and supply chains, sociopolitical factors ...

“…(2009) yang mengidentifikasi beberapa faktor yang memfasilitasi kemunculan dan perkembangan tindakan kolektif untuk pemasaran produk dan peningkatan nilai tambah; Kruijssen et al (2009) membahas pentingnya tindakan kolektif dalam konteks partisipasi petani dalam kegiatan pemasaran produk. Kruijssen et al juga menunjukkan bagaimana kelompok wanita terlibat dalam pengolahan buah-buahan tropis di Thailand mampu membeli peralatan berharga karena dengan pengolahan produk dapat meningkatkan nilai tambah, mencapai harga yang lebih baik dan mengembangkan peluang pasar baru.…”

PENDAHULUANKopi menjadi komoditas perdagangan yang memegang peranan penting baik sebagai sumber devisa nomor tiga setelah kayu dan karet (Spillane, 1990) dan sumber pendapatan. Artinya selain memiliki fungsi ekonomi, kopi juga mempunyai fungsi sosial sebab dengan adanya perkebunan tersebut, berarti memberi kesempatan kerja (Najiyati dan Danarti, 2001).Senada dengan Spillane (1990) dan Najiyati dan Danarti (2001), Herman (2003 juga berpendapat bahwa kopi merupakan salah satu komoditas perdagangan strategis dan memegang peranan penting bagi perekonomian nasional hingga akhir tahun 1990-an, khususnya sebagai penyedia lapangan kerja, sumber pendapatan dan devisa negara. Pasar ekspor kopi diduga merubah rasionalitas petani kopi karena kopi yang sudah menjadi komoditi ekspor membawa dampak monetisasi hingga ke relung kehidupan rumahtangga petani kopi.Fokus penelitian ini adalah pada tindakan kolektif petani kopi dalam menghadapi pasar ekspor kopi. Pasar mengharap individu saling berkompetisi, sementara struktur yang dipersiapkan oleh pemerintah (state) adalah petani kopi harus menjalankan usahanya secara berkelompok dalam wadah kelompok tani. Apabila di pasar aktor secara individu harus bersaing (dengan kekuatan kapital yang dimilikinya), is the elements of social capital (trust, networks and institutions) which become the frame as well as requirements for collective action. This research is a life history study. Some studies showed that the dilemma arises when individual interests are more dominant than the interests of the group. Dilemma collectivity can be tamed by the trust between individuals in the farmer groups. Collective action in the form of the institution of farmers groups can support farmers to meet the strick requirements required by the export market. Characteristics of farmer groups which can be use to facilitate the collective actions are small number of members, the group is formed on neighborhood ties, head of the group is a farmer as well as a trader and there are some incentives to individuals that involved actively in the group.Keywords: collective action, moral, culture, social capital, export markets, dilemma collectivity ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis proses munculnya dilemma kolektivitas dan upaya mengatasinya dalam kelembagaan kelompok tani serta menganalisis karakteristik kelompok tani untuk menfasilitasi tindakan kolektif dalam menghadapi pasar ekspor. Tindakan kolektif berkenaan dengan moral dan budaya, berbeda dengan tindakan rasional yang didasari oleh pilihan-pilihan individu. Tindakan kolektif dimaknai sebagai tindakan sukarela yang diambil oleh kelompok untuk mencapai tujuan bersama. Pembahasan mengenai tindakan kolektif erat kaitannya dengan modal sosial. Modal sosial menjadi faktor yang menjadi penyebab dan hasil tindakan kolektif. Keterkaitan teori tindakan kolektif dan modal sosial adalah unsur-unsurmodal sosial (kepercayaan, jaringan dan institusi) yang menjadi kerangka sekaligus syarat bagi tindakan kolektif. Penelitian ini merupakan studi riwayat hidup.Hasil...

“…Being a group member improves access to farm inputs, such as fertilizers and seed Hellin, Lundy, & Meijer, 2009;; machinery and tools (Kruijssen et al, 2009), and promote adoption of new technologies and innovations . In some cases, producer organizations can also increase farmers' access to physical resources, such as land (Verhofstadt and Mintens, 2014b).…”

“…Moreover, producer group increase the cognitive social capital as well as commitment and satisfaction of their members (Mojo et al, 2015). Finally, they can also promote social inclusion for women and enable them participate in decision making process (Kruijssen et al, 2009;Mwangi et al, 2012). Consequently, this leads to improve livelihoods due to increased income, consumption and accumulation of asset holdings.…”
