Domestic work carried out by fisherwomen is related to the implementation of household food security realization activities. The level of realization of household food security can be measured by calculating the household food security index which includes aspects of food availability, food access and food utilization. This achievement can be related to the personal characteristics of women as people who are responsible for implementing fisherman household food security activities. The research was aimed at analyzing: the personal characteristics of fisherwomen, the household food security index, and the influence of the personal characteristics of fisherwomen on the household food security index. The research was conducted in Batu Layar and Lembar Districts, West Lombok. Data were collected from as many as 60 respondents using interview techniques with fisherwomen using questionnaires and in-depth interviews with several key figures. Then the data were analyzed with a regression analysis test. The results of the analysis found that the personal characteristics of fisherwomen were characterized by the productive age group, the level of formal education was low, the non-formal education was moderate, the number of family members was classified as medium, and the motivation was classified as very high. Overall, the household food security index is classified as less food secure (90 percent) and food secure (10 percent). Overall, the personal characteristics of fisherwomen have no effect on the index of household food security. Partially, the components of age, formal education, and motivation have an influence on access to and utilization of food.

Sebagai negara agraris, pertanian menjadi andalan dalam mewujudkan pembangunan melalui peningkatan produksi, kualitas produk, kegiatan pengolahan, dan pemasarannya. Hasil penelitian dalam pengelolaan Hasil Hutan Bukan Kayu (HHBK) menunjukkan rendahnya kesadaran dan sikap masyarakat dalam mengolah produk yang dihasilkannya. Petani masih cenderung menjual produk yang dihasilkannya dalam bentuk tidak diolah. Tanaman ketak (Lygodium circinnatum) tidak dimanfaatkan, dan bahkan dianggap sebagai gulma. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini ditujukan untuk memfasilitasi proses belajar petani dan masyarakat pedesaan tentang peluang pemanfaatan HHBK seperti kemiri, jahe dan ketak bagi perbaikan penghidupan. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dengan pendekatan Kaji-Tindak dan didukung dana PNBP Univesitas Mataram, dan Proyek ACIAR - kerjasama LPPM Unram, ICRAF, dan Tim Kanoppi 2. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa petani dan masyarakat sasaran telah meningkat pengetahuannya, sikap dan keterampilan dalam melakukan usaha pengolahan produk HHBK, khususnya kemiri, jahe, dan ketak. Telah tumbuh usaha-usaha pengolahan HHBK yang menguntungkan seperti pengolahan kemiri menjadi kemiri kupas dan minyak kemiri, pengolahan jahe menjadi minuman jahe instant, dan usaha pengolahan ketak menjadi produk-produk kerajinan anyaman ketak yang bernilai ekonomi tinggi. Telah tumbuh kelompok-kelompok pengelola HHBK, dan bahkan kelompok-kelompok ini telah dapat membantu peningkatan kapasitas petani dan masyarakat di tempat lain seperti Desa Sabedo – Kecamatan Utan dalam pengelolaan HHBK. Upaya pemberdayaan masyarakat harus dilakukan secara bersama melalui pendampingan yang berkelanjutan. Diharapkan akan lebih banyak kegiatan dengan pendekatan kaji-tindak di masa mendatang.
