Abstract

This study investigates the management of food resources in Kulon Progo Regency, emphasizing the optimization of environmental assets to bolster agricultural productivity and, consequently, food security. Utilizing observational, comparative, and interpretative methods, the research identifies crucial determinants of food security such as land area, harvest yield per hectare, climatic conditions, and the implementation of agricultural mechanization. The findings underscore the necessity of advancing agricultural practices through human resource development, the adoption of high-quality seeds, the enhancement of agricultural, fisheries, and livestock products, and the integration of high-tech mechanization. Strategies proposed to sustain and enhance the agricultural sector's growth include increasing productivity, diversifying local food sources, strengthening logistical reserves, and modernizing agricultural techniques. The study further highlights the significant impact of population dynamics on the demand for food crops, advocating for the use of population projections in forecasting the needs for strategic commodities. Through a comprehensive analysis of consumption data, the research offers insights into the consumption patterns in Kulon Progo, providing a basis for improving food distribution and availability. The implications of this research are vital for policymakers and stakeholders in formulating strategies to ensure food security in Kulon Progo Regency by leveraging local environmental resources and modern agricultural advancements.
