Analysis of the effectiveness of the community food barn program on food security for farmer families during the Covid-19 pandemic in West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara

Abstract

The work of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of the community food barn in terms of the availability and easy access of the community, both farmer members of the barn and other communities in the village to food, and to analyze the comparison of the income levels of farmers who are members of the community food barn with non-members. This research was conducted in West Lombok Regency. This study uses secondary data and primary data. Secondary data were obtained from literature studies. Meanwhile, primary data was obtained from direct observation and interviews by using a questionnaire with 60 respondents. The data in this study were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of this study show that the Community Food Barn Program in West Lombok has not been effective. The most tangible benefit from the existence of the Community Food Barn Program is that members can use the Food Barn to store their harvested grain and guarantee the availability of food reserves for members and the entire family because they are allowed to borrow grain.
