Strategi Pemanfaatan Informasi Iklim Untuk Ketahanan Pangan Berkelanjutan Di Kecamatan Sungai Batang
Riau Province is known to have agricultural resources, which have the
potential to become a national food barn with the hope of being able to increase
national food security. The Riau region which has great potential as a rice producer
is the Indragiri Hilir Region. However, in recent years, rice production from the
region has decreased. This is due to shifts in the use of land functions, incidences
of crop failure due to floods or droughts, and farmers' lack of understanding about
climate information so that they cannot carry out mitigation and adaptation. This
causes sustainable food security in the region to be threatened. For this reason, this
study aims to determine the strategy for utilizing climate information so that the
demand for and availability of food in Sungai Batang District is guaranteed to be
sustainable.
This research was conducted in March - May 2023 in Sungai Batang
District, Indragiri Hilir Regency. The data used in this study came from primary
and secondary data. The primary data presented comes from the results of
questionnaires, interviews and direct field observations. The secondary data
presented comes from several literatures and supporting data from several related
agencies. Analysis of the data used in the form of descriptive analysis and SWOT
analysis. descriptive analysis to describe the subject and or object of research
according to the facts in the field. SWOT analysis is used to produce strategies for
Utilizing Climate Information for sustainable food security by taking into account
each factor's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
The results of this study indicate that the livelihoods of the people in the
Sungai Batang District are generally farming, where the paddy/rice fields in the
area are rainfed rice fields which utilize rain for irrigation. In recent years, farmers
often experience crop failure or crop failure. This happens because farmers do not
make the most of climate information because farmers do not understand this
xiv
information. This is increasingly difficult because the education level of the farmers
is relatively low and also the age of the farmers is relatively old. In addition to
climate conditions which are very influential in this area, land conversion is also a
threat that needs to be considered which can threaten sustainable food security in
Sungai Batang District. The strategy produced in this study is the S-T (Strength –
Threat) strategy. This strategy is a combination of internal factors, namely strength
factors and external factors, namely threat factors. Recommendations that can be
used in dealing with this strategy are issuing regulations, imposing sanctions,
maximizing infrastructure, collaboration between agencies, and building dams to
store rainwater supplies.
