Community Participation in the Activities of Improving Food Security Through the Climate Village Program in the Madukoro Village Kajoran District Magelang

Abstract

This study examines activities that enhance food resilience through the Climate Village Program in Madukoro Village and analyzes how community participation influences this resilience. The research involved 70 members of the Reksobantolo farmer group, using questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation for data collection. Descriptive analysis and simple linear regression were employed for data analysis. The findings reveal that Madukoro Village has implemented various strategies to boost food resilience, including polyculture and monoculture farming, rainfed and local irrigation systems, integrated agriculture, food plant diversification with fruits and vegetables, and utilizing yards for fishponds and medicinal plants. Integrated agriculture, combining agriculture, animal husbandry, and fisheries, emerged as a leading activity. Community participation in food resilience efforts is high, with an average score of 55.55 out of 80. Simple linear regression analysis shows that farmer group participation positively affects food resilience, with a coefficient of 0.024. Labor participation ranks highest, while goodsparticipation is the lowest. The Climate Village Program has fostered strong community involvement, but ongoing support from relevant agencies is necessary to help residents further develop their ideas and skills.
