The study assessed the food security status of poor households and contribution of cassava in their diets. Sixty-four cassava growers were selected from a Southeast Sulawesi cassava growing village using simple random sampling method. The United States Adult Food Security Survey Module was adopted in assessing the food security status of selected households. Data were analyzed qualitatively and using descriptive statistics. Results showed that a great majority (81.3%) of households were food secure. Average consumption of cassava based foods of 4.1 days a week compared to only 2.9 days for rice clearly confirmed that cassava was a dominant source of food and thus had contributed positively to the high food security status of households in the area. In view of its suitability with the farming and local food system as well as its importance in strengthening food security, efforts should be exerted to promote production, processing, marketing and consumption of cassava as staple food. 202affirmative. The questionnaire items were modified to a 30-day reference period rather than 12 month reference period (Coleman-Jensen et al., 2018).

The results showed that (1) farmers are generally in productive age, dominated by men, with low formal education level, and moderate family members, (2) upland rice farming is cultivated in medium land area, with fixed costs higher than variable cost, productivity that has been increased but still lower than rice paddy, and the price of rice production is relatively higher than rice paddy production price, and (3) feasible to cultivate dryland rice, and has a high efficiency value.

ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui potensi sistem intergasi padi ternak (SIPT) melalui ketersediaan ouput padi dan ternak sapi potong dan mengetahui kelayakan usahatani SIPT di Desa Silea Jaya Kecamatan Buke Kabupaten Konawe Selatan. Responden penelitian ini berjumlah 25 orang, yaitu keseluruhan petani yang menerapkan sistem integrasi. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif kuantitatif dan kelayakan usaha SIPT dengan menggunakan dua pendekatan yaitu analisis Revenue Cost Ratio (R/C Ratio) dan Breack Even Point (BEP). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa potensi SIPT di Desa Silea Jaya cukup untuk mendukung pengembangan SIPT ini dengan melihat melalui potensi luas, lahan, kepemilikan ternak, limbah padi sawah dan sapi potong. Sedangkan untuk kelayakan usaha farming system di Desa Silea Jaya layak untuk dijalankan hal ini terlihat dari hasil analisis R/C Ratio yaitu 5,26 (R/C Ratio>1) dan analisis BEP untuk padi sawah yakni 1.150,41 kg dengan harga jual Rp 1.054,27. Sedangkan ternak sapi potong yakni 0,2 ekor dengan nilai Rp. 432.279.Kata kunci: kelayakan, potensi, sistem integrasiABSTRACT The objective of this research is to know the potency of paddy-cattle integration system (SIPT) through the availability of rice output and beef cattle and to recognize the feasibility. The number of respondents in this study was 25 people, all of the farmers who implemented the integration system.
