“…1,2 This result suggests that a temperature lower than this point could harm the farming productivity in SSA regions. This result is in line with the existing literature that high temperature in the SSA regions could create biochemical challenges for plant cells (i.e., enzymes associated with the photosynthetic pathway) (Moore et al, 2021), and thus leads to a decrease in crop yield and animal production (Dube et al, 2013, Kotir, 2011. In addition, the result of the interaction term T emperature × Elevation has a negative and significant impact on TE (see Model (2) of Table A3 in the Appendix).…”

“…Land that remains a major factor in increasing agricultural production, especially corn rice and is supported by adequate irrigation [20]. Therefore, supporting facilities are needed in increasing agricultural productivity in Indonesia, one of the most important is the irrigation area, with adequate irrigation that will increase rice productivity in Indonesia [21].…”

The goal of the study is to examine the relationship of food security and land ecology in West Lombok Regency. This study uses secondary data from Central Statistics Agency of West Lombok Regency and collects time series data of year 2016 to 2019. Related data from other sources are also accessed to complement the main analysis. The results showed that land ecology of West Lombok has relationship with food security in region, with strong indications that wetland ecology has higher food security level than dryland ecology.This study recommends the transformation of dryland into wetland, for example, by building irrigation infrastructure whenever and wherever possible. Wetland is obviously more productive in provision of food than its counterpart.

“…Regarding food planning in urban government, Durban also showed a good example. To ensure food security for low-income populations, the city of Durban, South Africa, has initiated field trials of different crops in various locations to simulate future climate projections (Dube et al, 2013). The program intends to measure not only the yields of the crops but also the crops' social acceptability, palatability, and substitutability for traditional crops.…”

Since decentralization was reinforced in 1999, local politicians have exploited local policies to enhance their popularity and electability. In this study, I describe the implementation of a food security policy to demonstrate how the local arena had undergone massive political dynamics through unintegrated food governance demonstrated by local governments in Makassar City. This article aims to analyze the dynamic of urban food policy implemented by the municipality from 2013 to 2023. A qualitative approach had been employed through a case study of the implementation of food security policy. Data were collected by snowball method to eminent informants. Also, focus group discussions were employed in certain community groups. This study found that food policy in Makassar City during the study period had shown a political mobilization rather than a pure food security policy to help the community. In the policy planning, the failure was found in the limited technical analysis. The people who dwell in this city were not prepared for agricultural activities, including planting, maintaining the plants, and soil treatment. Also, the typical vegetables that were planted were not suitable for the climatic characteristics of this city. This study also found that media framing was massively exploited to escalate the positive framing of the ‘inclusivity’ of the leadership and attract the people to engage beyond food diversification. On the other side, as this policy was funded through a discretionary approach, massive negative sentiment had emerged, particularly from the legislative. They felt like an abandoned partner. Consequently, the government should create an alternative mechanism through shadow bureaucrats, designed by the mayor.
