Food security and food self-sufficiency at household level are much determined by their farm production. Meanwhile, some areas considered as the marginal area are constrained by limited support of natural resources. Thus, many households lived in marginal area will face food insecurity. This study aimed to understand the households’ food security level, both measured by using the Energy Sufficiency Score (AKE) and the Food Expenditure Share (PPP). Furthermore, this study also tries to identify the food self-sufficiency level among rural marginal household in Bojonegoro Regency. The result of study shows that there is a wide disparity among rural household in the food/energy intake, this is shown by the average level of food/energy intake level that is considered high (87%), meanwhile there is 53% of the households categorized as the food insecure household. Based on the Food Expenditure Share level, most of the households are categorized as food secure households. The food self-sufficiency, particularly rice, have been attained.

All countries around the world are dealing the same problem in assuring the sufficiency of food for feeding their people. Indonesia is the biggest agrarian state in South East Asia and the fourth largest state in the world. The challenge faced by Indonesia with a large population is on how food meets the needs of its population, which until now Indonesia has not been able to guarantee the fulfillment of food supply for its population. This study aims to analyze the influence of determinant factors toward Indonesian food security. Binary Logit Model was employed to analyze determinant factors of Indonesian food security. Jonsson and Toole criterion of food security was used to identify Indonesian food security status as dependent variable. This research found that land area, rice production, corn production, soybean production, chicken meat production, beef production, the population density the CPI (Customer Price Index) including the CPI for housing, electricity and gas, the CPI for health, the CPI for transportation and financial services, and FIMI (Food Insecurity Multidimensional Index) have significant influences towards the level of food security in Indonesia. It means that food security could be achieved by not only improving the quantity and quality of consumption, but also improving food supply, the ability to access economically and the stability.

The Rukun farmer group is the first organic farmer group formed in the Yogyakarta region. The Rukun farmer group started organic cultivation through local varieties of rice cultivation in 2006 and received organic certification in 2011 and 2015. The Rukun farmer group became a representative farmer group as a sample in this study in order to identify the issues of organic farming. The challenge faced by organic farmer groups at the moment was the limited support of both funding and managerial parties. This study aim was as one of the preliminary studies to further formulate policies and steps that must be taken to achieve the sustainability of organic farming in the future. The results of the research show that the main managerial aspects of recording were problems that need to be resolved. Farm records based on a web application was expected to be one of the solutions to the problem of managerial aspects. The research was essential as a baseline study to formulate strategic advice to create sustainable organic agriculture in Yogyakarta.

Organic farming system in Indonesia had been growing continuously in the recent years. Organic label could only be put on products which were complied with organic standards and regulations as well as certification requirements. As the world became more global, in addition to organic national certification, Indonesian organic farmers needed to comply with international organic certification so that they could enter the open market. This study attempted to: (1) provide a descriptive analysis of rice organic farmers’ characteristics in two locations of organic farming, (2) understand farmers’ knowledge and motivation on organic farming, and (3) analyse the gaps between farmers’ practice in organic farming and certification standard requirements. Results of the study showed that, basically, all farmers understood the concept of organic farmers. However, the farmers had not fully implemented the procedures as required in the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), let alone international organic certifications (IFOAM and USDA). There were several aspects that need to be improved in order to close the gaps between farmers’ practice in organic farming and certification standard requirements.

Farming is nowadays intensively developed in urban areas. Home-garden has excellent potential in supporting household food sufficiency and providing aesthetic value for the household economy. This study's objectives are: (1) to estimate home-garden farming's contribution to household income and (2) to determine the Sustainability of home-garden farming in Yogyakarta City. The research was carried out in the city center and fringe area covering seven districts of Yogyakarta City. The sample was 113 households that utilized their home-garden for farming as the members of farmer groups. Data were analyzed using a simple statistical calculation to determine the contribution of home-garden farming income. Farming sustainability data were categorized into ecological, economic, and social dimensions using a Likert scale. The results of the study showed that the contribution of home-garden farming to household income was 0.81%. This value is relatively small because the land is very narrow. Also, the primary purpose is not for sale. Home-garden farming, both in the city centre and in the suburbs, has a high level of Sustainability, which is indicated by the economic dimension (79.11%), the ecological dimension (78.71%), and the social dimension (84.12%).
