Abstract

The issue of food security is the main focus in agricultural development operational policies. The backyard land in Indonesia is quite extensive and potential to support food security, but its utilization has not been optimal. Therefore, in order to support family food security, the Ministry of Agriculture has developed a Sustainable Food Houses Region model (m-KRPL) to optimize backyard land and food diversification. The purpose of the assessment is to utilize the backyard land through diversification of local food with the Sustainable Food Houses Region model (m-KRPL). The assessment was carried out in Berau District in 2016-2017. The results of the study indicate that the use of the backyard land through the development of alternative food crops, vegetable crops, and fish can support food security and increase family income.
