Enhance the food development policy’s effectiveness by preventing stakeholder overlap in Indonesia, covering grains, legumes, and tubers. The Food Sustainability Index (FSI) and the Global Food Security Index (GFSI) reveal the challenges of food development. FSI assesses food sustainability and nutrition, while GFSI analyses the causes of food vulnerability. The objective of this paper is to examine the achievement of indicators that can support future reference points for relevant ministries/agencies. This study employs descriptive analysis (through indicator analysis and ranking process), connected to the results of both FSI and GFSI analyses. Certain indicators within both systems have already aligned with the Food Development Policy. Indonesia’s FSI index is 59, ranked 51 out of 78 countries; the GFSI index is 60.2, ranked 63 out of 113 countries. To improve FSI and GFSI targets, there is a need for better consolidation among ministries/agencies across various indicators. The Ministry of Agriculture, in partnership with other ministries, works towards sustainable agriculture, climate resilience, and women’s empowerment. Collaboration, infrastructure development, and technology integration are vital for increasing competitiveness and achieving better socio-economic progress in both food sustainability and food security.

Dry upland agriculture is vital for securing food production in several countries. However, the research on evaluating cropping patterns using remote sensing techniques is completely neglected due to several factors such as the availability of clean imagery and the complexity of the landscape. This research primarily focused on the evaluation of data availability from three different satellite imageries: Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, and MODIS. The consistently high data availability demonstrated by Sentinel-2 established its potential as a reliable source for gap-filling analysis in remote sensing studies. Using a classification model, various land cover types were identified with an overall accuracy of 86.4%, indicating the model's efficiency in accurately classifying these areas. This research also analyzed the detailed cropping patterns, revealing seven distinct temporal cultivation patterns of various crops. This period is strategically positioned between the cultivation of maize, which spans an area of 5,943 ha in December, January, and February, suggesting a potential crop rotation system. The rotation indicated that nearly 83.7% of the cultivated land was planted between maize and shallot throughout the year. The study emphasizes the significance of continuous monitoring and adaptive management in agriculture to ensure sustainability and productivity.

The various impacts of global climate change are often faced by the farmers. Flood, drought, and pest and disease infestations are among the natural farm risks caused by such uncontrolled climate fluctuations. Agricultural damage due to natural disasters triggered by the climatic change is a big loss for small-scale farmers. Therefore, policy initiatives to respond to such situations are necessary and agricultural insurance schemes are appropriate to these conditions. Food crops insurance scheme can be prioritized for farmer’s protection and food security, while other crops will also be insured to maintain production sustainability and improve farmers’ welfare. Indonesia’s experience in crop insurance is described where policy alternatives can enforce agricultural protection programs. The results of the study reveal that socialization, promotion, and advocacy are highly recommended before and during the implementation of insurance schemes. The application of technology is encouraged to strengthen insurance schemes and efforts to increase the capacity of farmers are suggested to improve agricultural performance.

As a result of plans to relocate the Indonesian capital city to East Kalimantan province, Kalimantan is expected to develop rapidly and the surrounding regencies and provinces will become food support areas for the new capital. However, the vulnerability of food farming in Kalimantan is a concern that must be addressed to ensure food security. This study aims to assess the vulnerability of food farming at the regency level of the island of Kalimantan, to assess the determinant factors of the food farming vulnerability and to compose adaptation measures that can reduce vulnerability. Socio economic, climate, water and land data are sorted and analyzed to represent the level of sensitivity and exposure index (SEI) and adaptive capacity index (ACI). Locations with ‘High’ and ‘Very High’ levels of farming vulnerability become interview sites with a total of 150 respondents. The results of the interviews strengthen the results of the vulnerability analysis which helps to determine the condition of farmers and food farming in vulnerable locations. The results indicated ‘Very High’ and ‘High’ level of vulnerability in 14 regencies/cities. Floods are climate-related disasters that most often affect farmers surveyed (46%), followed by droughts (30%) and pest attacks (24%) with significant impacts (49%). The identification of the determinant factors becomes the basis for adaptive measures to support decision-makers, local practitioners, and farmers by highlighting local challenges and proposing local-specific adaptation strategies.

Perubahan iklim telah terjadi secara alamiah di lapisan biosfer sepanjang waktu. Namun, perubahan iklim yang terjadi saat ini makin meningkat intensitas dan lajunya dikarenakan aktivitas manusia melalui emisi antropogenik gas rumah kaca (GRK). Meningkatnya konsentrasi GRK dan suhu permukaan bumi telah menyebabkan pemanasan global yang mengakibatkan terjadinya perubahan iklim yang memberikan dampak yang kompleks pada semua sektor kehidupan manusia. Adaptasi sangatlah penting untuk menjaga keberlanjutan sistem kehidupan di bumi. Adaptasi diartikan sebagai tindakan menyesuaikan diri untuk antisipasi dampak perubahan iklim dengan tujuan meringankan dampak buruk yang dihadapi. Kegiatan adaptasi diharapkan dapat meningkatkan resiliensi terhadap dampak negatif perubahan iklim. Adaptasi dapat berbentuk teknologi, langkah aksi, maupun kebijakan. Selain itu, kearifan lokal menjadi hal yang sangat penting dan memiliki peran sentral dalam upaya adaptasi terhadap perubahan iklim di Indonesia. Buku ini memperkenalkan berbagai teknologi adaptasi dan kearifan lokal pada sektor prioritas RPJMN 2020–2024, yaitu sektor pesisir dan kelautan, ketersediaan sumber daya air, pertanian dan pangan, serta kesehatan. Buku ini diharapkan dapat menjadi sumber literasi guna meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap perubahan iklim. Lebih lanjut, teknologi dan kearifan lokal untuk adaptasi perubahan iklim yang ada diharapkan dapat diadopsi oleh masyarakat yang lebih luas.

Agriculture in Indonesia, especially food crops, is significantly affected by climate change. Agricultural activities are highly dependent on climate, especially rainfall. Farmers as food farming actors receive the most significant impacts and risks due to climate uncertainty. Therefore, we need protection through agricultural insurance. Existing agricultural insurance needs to be complemented by another option that has the potential to be developed in Indonesia, namely Weather Index Insurance (WII). In this system, the insured is not plants, but a weather index which is compiled and determined based on the relationship between crop failures and changes in climatic conditions due to floods or droughts. This paper is a preliminary study aimed at analyzing a climate index for rice drought to support the development of agricultural insurance in Indonesia. The study was conducted in Indramayu Regency as one of the rice centers in West Java Province. The climate index is determined based on long-term historical rainfall data (1966–2022) associated with climate-related disasters’ droughts using the Historical Burn method with a case study in Sliyeg Sub-District. The results of the study showed that based on 56 years of rainfall data and drought events, obtained an Exit value of 26 mm and a Trigger value of 34.5 mm. This index value becomes a reference in insurance claims regardless of crop failure in the field. Intensive socialization, surveys, and interviews are needed to explore willingness to accept and farmers' responses in the context of implementing WII.

The increasing scale of potential climate change impacts gives urgency to address agricultural adaptation more coherently to effectively manage potential climate risks impact. Since 2020, the Indonesian government has had to report the climate resilience actions (CRA) in the National Determined Contribution (NDC). For achieving the CRA goals and targets, the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas has developed a mechanism for monitoring, evaluating, and reporting the CRA in Aksara, an application for Planning and Monitoring Indonesia's Low Carbon Development and CRA. The objectives of the study are to measure the impact of CRA in the agricultural sector and propose correction factors (CF) for intervention areas. South Sumatra, West Java, DI Yogyakarta, and West Nusa Tenggara Provinces were selected for the study areas. The activities evaluated are tertiary irrigation networks rehabilitation, pump and pipe irrigation, small water reservoir, and organic fertilizing processing unit (OFPU). The impact of these activities was carried out through in-depth interviews with representative farmer groups, extension workers, and staff of the agricultural office. The results conclude the intervention area of the rehabilitation of tertiary irrigation networks was found nearly to the survey, while the rest are much lower than the value used in Aksara. The result concludes that the intervention area of pumping irrigation is close to the default value used in Aksara. We recommend using CF to increase the accuracy of area interventions as a parameter to calculate the reduction in GDP loss from CRA. CF for tertiary irrigation network rehabilitation range from 0.86–0.95, pipe irrigation 0.67–0.75, small water reservoir 0.12–0.57, and OFPU 0.53–0.72.
