ENHANCING RESILIENCE OF LOCAL FOOD SECURITY AMONG MARGINAL FARMERS IN RURAL AREAS TO MEET THE AGRICULTURAL LAND CONVERSION

The complex impacts of agricultural land conversion to non-agricultural uses can cause food insecurity in homeless farmer households. The specific objectives of the study are (a) to find the reasons underlying the resilience of superior local food of homeless farmer households experiencing weakening functional benefits in rural areas prone to agricultural land conversion; (b) to find the answer to the slow accessibility of homeless farmer households to strengthening the resilience of superior local food in rural areas prone to agricultural land conversion. The research design combines qualitative and quantitative research approaches with a more dominant qualitative approach. For the qualitative approach, a phenomenological research method with semi-grounded research is used. The subjects of the study included rural farming communities in the Gamping Sub District (Sleman Regency) and Kasihan Sub District (Bantul Regency). Data analysis techniques are the Interactive Model of Analysis and Reflexive Model.   building human resources. However, food resilience is still weak in various elements of society, especially rural homeless farmer households that are vulnerable to agricultural land conversion. Food resilience is difficult to strengthen by respondent households due to empirical conditions that are directly caused by decreased income, purchasing power, employment opportunities as farm labourers, and the economic value of family members. Slow accessibility in strengthening superior local food resilience occurs in every respondent household. This slowness is evidenced by differences in empirical conditions in the elements of availability, sufficiency, security, diversity and justice in the distribution of food to family members.
