SOSIALISASI PENINGKATAN KAPASITAS ANGGOTA PEMBERDAYAAN DAN KESEJAHTERAAN KELUARGA (PKK) DALAM PENERAPAN SISTEM EKONOMI INDONESIA UNTUK KEMANDIRIAN PANGAN KELUARGA DI DESA JARA’AN

Abstract

Food independence is a very important strategic issue in national development, especially in an agricultural country like Indonesia. Food independence is not only about food availability, but also about local community control over their food resources. Family economic empowerment through Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) is one important element. PKK has a strategic role in encouraging changes in family behavior, especially in terms of nutrition, health, and welfare. Many families depend on food from outside without utilizing available local resources, such as yards for growing vegetables or raising small-scale livestock. The socialization of capacity building for PKK members is aimed at increasing understanding of family economics and strengthening food independence at the household level. This activity was attended by 42 participants who are PKK members. The results of this socialization activity were increased awareness of the importance of family food independence through an understanding of the principles of the Indonesian economy in family food management, urban farming techniques and utilization of yard land, processing local agricultural products for family consumption and management.
