    Food security in D8 countries : comparative challenges and sustainable strategies
    (ISRG Publishers, 2024-09-12) Fazlullah Ihza Qaseem; Melani Sukma Yuridis
    Food security is a critical global issue, and the D8 countries (Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey) represent a significant group of emerging economies with diverse agricultural systems and challenges. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of food security in the D8 countries using panel data regression analysis. The study utilizes a panel dataset covering a time period of 9 years (2012-2020) for the eight members of D8 countries, except Iran, with variables representing the proportion of agriculture's added value to GDP, the value of agricultural production per capita, the share of agricultural exports to total exports, and land productivity. The panel data regression analysis employs appropriate econometric techniques, which is random effects model, to account for cross-country and time-series variations. The result of the study shows that the value of agricultural production per capita has a positive relationship with Food Security variable. While the variables of the share of the added value of agriculture in GDP and the share of export of agricultural products in total export have a negative correlation with Food Security. There is also no correlation between land productivity and food security. The results of this paper will provide valuable information for policymakers and stakeholders to formulate effective strategies and interventions to improve food security in the region. The results of this research will also provide implications for other developing countries facing similar challenges in ensuring food security for their populations.

    Natural shocks, economic risks, health and social risks impact on food security in Indonesia
    (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2024) Melani Sukma Yuridis; Rizky Wisnoentoro; Rima Prama Artha
    This study aims to elucidate the evolution of food security in Indonesia from 2017 to 2022 and to ascertain the impact of natural shocks (meteorological, hydrological, geophysical, climatological hazards), economic risks (inflation, GDP per capita, trade, and savings), as well as health risks and social risks (biological hazards) on food security during this period. In order to achieve the aforementioned objectives, this study employs descriptive analysis and panel data regression techniques. It is regrettable that the results demonstrate that only La Niña and El Niño, in addition to trade, exert a considerable influence on food security. As extreme climate phenomena, La Niña and El Niño exert a considerable influence on rainfall and temperature patterns, which in turn impact food production and availability. The results indicate that increased trade can help reduce food insecurity by redirecting surpluses from production areas to less well-off areas. The variables representing disasters, including natural shocks (meteorological, hydrological, geophysical, climatological) as well as health and social risks (biological hazards), do not exert a significant effect. This is due to the fact that the model may be unable to adequately capture the specific conditions of the number of disaster events, which can vary considerably depending on the type of disaster or the region in question. Furthermore, the economic variables of inflation, GDP per capita, and savings have no significant impact, as the model has been unable to adequately capture the fluctuating economic conditions of Indonesia during the data year under study.
