Commitment Title

Participatory and Inclusive Use of Yard Through Integrated Agricultural Systems

Problem

The purpose of development is to increase welfare or improve people's living standards. The yard has great potential as a support for the owner's daily needs because the yard can be used to be planted with various kinds of productive plants. In addition, the yard can be used as a precious asset for the development of a household scale business. Therefore, yard use can be a basis for empowering family resources and increasing food needs and family nutritional adequacy.

The problem is that there are still approximately 80% of the yard and unused land in rural areas that have not been optimally utilized for more productive things, mainly to support and increase family income. Whereas as an effort to solve poverty in rural areas, optimizing the use of yard by housewives or other vulnerable groups in rural areas can overcome unemployment, poverty, and inflation due to soaring prices for basic foods.

Status quo

1. The poverty rate of the Banggai Regency in 2020 is 7.39%, or 28,160 people, it is still relatively high, and most of the poor are in rural areas.
2. The unemployment rate in 2022 is 2.44%, or 4,841 people.
3. There are still many yards and unused land in rural areas that have not been utilized and managed to help fulfill food and nutrition and increase family income.

Action

The expected results from this commitment are, among others:

1. Realizing an increase in food reserves and economic development in rural areas through community empowerment in the agricultural and fishery sectors.
2. As one of the strategies to maintain family, regional and national food security, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
3. Meeting the nutritional and food needs at the household, family, and community levels.
4. Increase the diversity and quality of community food consumption to make it more diverse, nutritionally balanced, and safe to support healthy, active, and productive lives.
5. Optimizing the use of the yard as an additional source of family income to improve family welfare.
6. Application of appropriate technological innovations in agriculture.

How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?

1. This commitment will encourage the economic growth of rural communities to be more productive and independent, increase family income, and solve the problem of poverty in the region.
2. This commitment can overcome the problem of food insecurity in the community. It is expected that the Availability Hope Food Pattern (PPH) rate will increase from 90.30% in 2021 to 91% in 2024.
3. This commitment is very supportive of the government's efforts to combat stunting because the community will independently meet their families' food and nutritional needs. This commitment is expected to contribute to efforts to reduce stunting prevalence to 15% in 2024 from 17.9% in 2020 (e-PPGBM Data)
4. This commitment will reduce family expenditures to meet their food and nutritional needs and increase family income. When the production of the yard is excessive and can be sold/marketed, the regional poverty target drops to 6% from 7.39% at the end of the commitment implementation.
