This shows that they are closely related to nature, society, and customs. Conclusion: The Dayak Bakati women not only become housewives but also practicefarming and gardening to achieve food sovereignty. The improvement and fulfillment of food traditions relate to the food sovereignty of the community and the method of processing bia for the maka'k dio pade tradition. However, this tradition is rarely practiced due to the belief in individual religion, but thisis not the major reason for the decline. The maka'k dio pade is rarely carried out by the 2000s generation because they have migrated to study abroad. Keywords: Tradition, food sovereignty, the role of women]]>
