Grasping the water, energy, and food security nexus in the local context : Case study: Karawang Regency, Indonesia

Abstract

Despite an abundance in natural and human resources, Indonesia has not been able to significantly improve the level of water, energy, and food (WEF) security. Challenges in achieving WEF security targets mostly relate to resource mismanagement, lack of coordination, authority imbalance among sectors, and overlapping roles and responsibility among levels of government. The immature process of the decentralization has made these challenges even more complex; it is not easy to unify the vision of local governments (i.e. 34 provinces, 416 regencies, 98 cities) with the Regional Head who is elected every 5 years and sometimes brings different goals and development approaches.The lack of information, awareness, coordination and a common framework to bridge the gaps between national and local governments, jeopardizes the attainment of WEF security targets which have been set in the national long-term planning (RPJPN) and mid-term planning (RPJMN). Unfortunately, this complex issue has not received the attention it deserves, from a scientific perspective nor from a practical implementation point of view such as through laws, policies and planning processes.

Green Economy's Impact on Food Security Program Evaluation

“…Food security in the WEF in the local context and the implications of local interventions through the policies pursued are planned in the management of the WEF sector via the development of a conceptual and quantitative framework and the use of system dynamics modelling with stakeholder involvement, as shown by an analysis using the nexus approach, which integrates cross-sectoral management and governance and a scale of agricultural development priorities (Yu & Khan, 2022). To better illustrate the challenges of integrating WEF into food security policy at the local level, this study used the Indonesian province of Karawang Regency as a case study (Purwanto, 2021).…”

“…The regional Government of Pinrang regency welcomed the Pinrang food security investment program as an effort to develop the agricultural industrial area as an investment design of development (Fu & Ng, 2020) to improve the welfare of the local population, as described by Bumb and Baanante (2020); Fu and Ng (2020). The plan cannot be implemented without backing local governments' water, energy, and food management policies (Purwanto, 2021).…”

The Influence of Strategic Planning and Analytical Maturity on Organizational Performance in Implementing Business Intelligence in Indonesia

“…Impact BI implementation has a significant impact on organizational performance, particularly in startups. It enables organizations to optimize operations, identify market trends, and make data-driven strategic decisions, leading to improved efficiency, innovation, and competitiveness [11], [12], [23].…”
