Abstract

Food waste is a global issue that has been around for a long time but is unconsciously becoming more serious. This is also experienced by Indonesia, which also contributes to donating food waste. Food waste can occur from upstream to downstream from production to consumption. Farmers as actors in food production are also not spared from food waste behavior. This study aims to determine what factors affect food waste for farmer households in Klaten Regency. In addition, it provides ways of handling non-consumable food and strategic recommendations for the government in responding to the phenomenon of food waste to support food security. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical. The number of samples used was 30 farmers in Klaten Regency. The selection of Klaten as the research location was determined purposively because this location is the largest rice-producing area in Central Java. The data analysis method used in this research is multiple regression. The results showed that two variables affect food waste: the level of education and the number of family members. The significance value of the two variables is 0.0000, so that the value is less than the alpha value of 0.05. Inadvertently, some households have processed the leftover food, such as making it as organic fertilizer. In addition, several households provide leftover food to livestock. The strategic step that the government must take in tackling this food waste problem is to conduct a massive campaign and, if necessary, implement it in the education system so that people are more aware of food waste.

Abstract

Indonesia is one country that relies on the agricultural sector as its superiority. However, the need for good quality and human resources in recent years has diminished especially in the agricultural sector so that it will affect the contribution of the young agricultural / young generation workforce to the success of agriculture in Indonesia. This study aims to determine 1) the contribution of young generation agricultural sector workers in Indonesia 2) the development trend of the younger generation workforce in the agricultural sector 3) efforts to lure young people to work in the agricultural sector. The research method used is descriptive analytic method. The data used are secondary data from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Central Statistics Agency of Indonesia. The data analysis method uses the contribution method and trend line analysis. Based on the results and discussion above, it can be concluded that the value of the contribution of the agricultural youth workforce from 2014 to 2019 tends to decrease. The trendline for the development of the young agricultural workforce is y = - 518017x + 4E + 07 and is negative or will decline in the following years. Efforts to increase the interest of young people can be done in various ways such as improving education, making young entrepreneurs in agriculture and providing incentives in agriculture to attract the interest of young people working in agriculture
