The threat of an economic recession in 2023 raises concerns. Farmers, as the main supporters of food production, also feel that rice, the main food of the Indonesian people, must always be available in sufficient quantities. The population explosion during the pandemic was caused by high birth rates. Population growth must coincide with adequate food security so that there will be no famine and other chaos as a follow-up impact. The success of farmers in increasing agricultural output should be enjoyed in the form of social welfare and health. This study aims to see the relationship between increasing food production and social welfare and health. This research uses quantitative methods. Data collection using questionnaires Analysis of the study's results using linear regression It was found that there was a significant relationship between increased food production and farmers' social welfare and health. This research can be a reference for continuing to increase food production through the opening of new agricultural land. Another option is to reduce the conversion of agricultural land into settlements or offices. Thus, farmers have the opportunity to continue to maintain their food production numbers

Population density is positively correlated with fertility rates. Fertility is related to a woman's ability to reproduce. This study aims to: (1) What is the description of the participatory-based birth control counseling model for marginalized communities in Makassar City? (2) How to design a participatory-based birth control counseling model for marginalized communities in Makassar city? and (3) What is the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the participatory-based birth control counseling model for marginalized communities in Makassar? This research is a type of Research & Development (R&D) research that is structured referring to the development of the model from Borg & Gall, and the modified Four - D. The syntax consists of problem analysis; preparation of lesson plans; development of learning tools; product testing and dissemination. The subjects of this research are marginal communities in three sub-districts. In this study, the extension model disseminated expert validation, three trials, and discussion group forums to determine the model's effectiveness in its implementation. The results obtained from the data analysis are: (1) The extension model to control the demographic figures is based on the active participation of marginalized communities. This counseling model is equipped with tools in the form of a module book, namely the birth rate control module, the prosperous family marriage module, and the long-term contraceptive method. (2) The design of the extension model is carried out through three stages, namely the pre-development stage, the development stage, and the trial stage. (3) The extension model controlling the demographic figures has been tested for validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The test results show that the extension model is valid, practical, and effective to use. The findings of this study are included in the MAD extension model, which includes model books and module books. The MAD extension model is intended for BKKBN extension workers/cades to support the increased active participation of marginalized communities in controlling birth rates.
