Abstract. Murniati K, Mutolib A. 2020. The impact of climate change on the household food security of upland rice farmers in Sidomulyo, Lampung Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 3487-3493.  Climate change in the agricultural sector, particularly food crops, significantly decreases the production, causing the anomaly influences of El-Niño (drought) and La-Nina (flood). Climate change will have an impact on food availability and accessibility, thereby disrupting the food security and vulnerability of farmer households. This study aimed to: analyze the livelihood vulnerabilities, determine the food security level, and assess the livelihood vulnerability on the food security of upland rice farmer households against climate change. This study was conducted in Sidomulyo Sub-district, South Lampung District. The samples were randomly selected among farmers, resulting in 66 selected farmers. The analysis included: the livelihood vulnerability index– intergovernmental panel of climate change (LVI-IPCC), food security index based on the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, and the Ordinal Model Logit (Ologit). The results showed that the upland rice farmer’s household had a livelihood vulnerability of 0.071, belonged to the medium category.  Most farmer households (77.27%) were categorized as food secure.   The “secure” category in the food security index is obtained if the upland rice farmers fulfill three criteria includes food availability, food stability, and food sustainability.  The strategy of climate change adaptation, rice price, and phonska fertilizer price affects the food security of farmers’ households.  Climate change adaptation strategies are indispensable for sustainable food security.

The purposes of this study are: 1) To assess the impact of green brand positioning, consumers’ attitude toward green brands and green brand knowledge on green product purchase intention, 2) To examine the variation of contribution from green brand positioning, consumers’ attitude toward green brands, and green brand knowledge toward green product purchase intention, 3) To identify the significant influence of green brand positioning, consumers’ attitude toward green brands, and green brand knowledge on green product purchase intention. A questionnaire was utilized to gather the data. The purposive sampling technique was used, involving respondents who practice a green lifestyle and have had green product purchasing experience. The data were analyzed using the three-stage hypothesis analysis model: Simultaneous variable testing (F-testing), coefficient of determination (R2), and partially hypothesis testing (t-testing). Simultaneous variable testing results stated that simultaneously green brand, attitude, and green knowledge influencing green product purchase intention. The three independent variables, namely green brand positioning, attitude, and green knowledge, explain 69.20% of the green product purchase intention variation while unknown variables influence the rest. Green brand positioning and green brand knowledge variable have a significant influence on green product purchase intention. In contrast, consumers’ attitudes toward green brands did not significantly influence green product purchase intention. Firms and businesses can use green brand positioning to better market their products, improve consumers’ green brand knowledge and attitude toward green brands, and increase green brand purchase intentions.

The sample of farmers 78 respondents was taken by proportional stratified simple random sampling. Data analysis using quantitative descriptive methods include income analysis, welfare level analysis according to BPS and Sayogyo, and using a binary logit model. The results show that the source of household income of cassava farmers is increasingly diverse and leads to off and non-farm activities. Revenue from cassava farming has decreased but is still dominant. Based on BPS and Sayogyo criteria, most cassava farming households are in a decent and prosperous life group. The factors that influence the level of welfare of cassava farmers are the amount of work, cassava farming experience, and household income.

Forest plays an important role to support a global environment. Currently, forest degradation occurs in developing countries. Therefore, the excellent strategies to against the forest degradation must be found. One of the best solutions is understanding the information of vegetation condition. Here, the objective of this paper was to apply a method as the assessment of vegetation monitoring using satellite data in the integration of conservation education forest at great forest Wan Abdul Rachman in Lampung Province, Indonesia. In this study, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) was used, completed with satellite data (namely MODIS). This technique helps in monitoring vegetation status. Data NDVI from MODIS satellite data showed that forest area decrease very small from 2000-2017. The data was obtained for June, July, and the end of September.
