This study describes the problem of high dependency on rice consumption in Papua while Papua has several local foods as alternative sources of carbohydrate. The study focuses on Papua province as the region that has many potential on local-non rice food like corn, cassava, and sweet potatoes, which then selected as the study objects. A ten-year series of data from 2006 to 2015 was obtained from BPS (Central Bureau of Statistics) and analyzed in this study. The results show that the development of local food was relatively slower in Papua Province compared to the national level, except for fish development. It is observed that the program to increase rice production is very intensive while the program to increase local food production has not been a concern of the local government. Programs to increase production, develop cultivation, production, and processing technologies are biased to rice production, resulting in the food diversification program trough local food development is likely difficult to be realized. Papua Province has a comparative advantage in local food because it is supported by the potential of natural resources and the culture of local community. Local food must be encouraged and promoted as–a major, healthy food source and at the same time, support the realization of food diversification programs in Indonesia.

This article is a qualitative research which aiming to determine the impact of CPI reclamation on the livelihood resilience of fishermen's households. The informants were selected purposively with the main criteria have been in the fishing profession since before the reclamation. The data were obtained through interviews, observation, documentation, and focus group discussions with fishermen groups and community leaders. The results of the study found that coastal reclamation has had an ecological impact on fishing communities whose lives depend on marine ecological resources as their main livelihood; in addition, other impacts caused are the distance traveled to catch fish and market the catch to fish auctions causing high operational costs that must be incurred compared to before reclamation. The forms of livelihood resilience carry out by fishermen such as carrying out livelihood strategies, optimizing social and physical capital owned, as well as asset and financial management.

This paper demonstrates the climate change consequences on agricultural sector in the scope of agricultural market and socioeconomic. Agricultural output and food prices would change as the climate change may negatively affect the agricultural input. The implication of climate change on the food security pillars is discussed. It is proposed to apply farming integration system by cultivating local crops that do not harm the environment, which could be developed by local people. Good infrastructure and implementation of research and innovation would be beneficial to deal with the impacts of climate change to promote sustainable economic growth, social development and environment.
