The prevalence and severity of natural hazards pose a serious risk to food systems, undermining their function to provide food security and improved nutrition. The impact of such events is extensive, and the level of damage and recovery significantly depend on ecosystem services, including their own resilience capacity. This paper provides evidence that the role, value, and utilization of local ecosystem services are essential for food system resilience and for food security in parts of the world where high vulnerability and lack of coping capacity exist to combat climate change. Patterns of ecosystem services-based strategies were revealed that can be introduced to cope and adapt to climate-related natural hazards at the smallholder food system level. The study suggests that food system diversification, technological innovations and nature-based practices, and traditional and indigenous knowledge operationalized across the food system components have a potential for sustaining smallholder resilience in the face of natural hazards.

“…In contrast, the incorporation of traditional local foods into the diet may contribute toward a higher diet quality. These foods tend to provide an enhanced intake of essential vitamins and minerals, dietary fiber, plant-based protein, and healthy fats [ 55 , 56 ], which could be related to a lower proportion of obesity and severe obesity. In addition, we observed that the highest proportion of participants with a high school education or higher were classified into the imported food pattern.…”

“…The supply of food needed in North Maluku is influenced by distribution from outside the province, which causes the price of staple foods to become more expensive, including rice. Food security in islands with imported supply chains that are sensitive to climate change is becoming more and more of a concern, and more research is required to determine whether local food production can meet population dietary needs in a self-sufficient and climateadaptive way [8]. Therefore, the opportunity and potential of cassava as an alternative food source to replace rice in North Maluku is quite significant.…”

Cassava is a food commodity widely cultivated and developed in North Maluku based on local wisdom, which is essential in supporting food security. This study aims to conduct an inventory and determine the use of cassava as an alternative food source in North Maluku. Inventory and characterization of activities carried out from March to December 2019. The method used was descriptive exploration with surveys, field observations, and interviews. The inventory results showed that North Maluku has the potential of cassava as a source of carbohydrates and alternative food to reduce dependence on people's rice consumption. A large amount of cassava production supports the possibility of providing local non-rice food sources in North Maluku. In addition, there were 13 local cassava accessions identified. Processed cassava into other food products had added value and encouraged increased consumption of this commodity as a non-rice local food commodity of strategic value. The government plays an essential role in the food diversification program to increase public awareness of consuming non-rice local food such as cassava. Kasbi sago is one of the typically processed cassava products and is widely consumed by the people of North Maluku.
