Abstract: Implementation of food security policies and their implications for food availability for

community members (Study in the transmigration placement area of Wonosari District, Boalemo

Regency, Gorontalo Province). The purpose of the study was to find out the implementation of the

local government's food security policy in Wonosari District and its implications for food availability

has had an impact on food availability for the local government of Boalemo Regency. This is shown

by rice production, livestock production, vegetables (horticulture) and the very high trade business

sector originating from Wonosari district. In addition, the assessment of the national resilience

index in the Wonosari sub-district has been fulfilled as a manifestation of the implementation of

food security policies. As evidence, the local government of Boalemo Regency has made efforts to

improve the quality of life of its residents through education, health and community welfare policies

in the form of ease of obtaining superior seeds, making irrigation, improving facilities and

infrastructure to support food security, accelerating electricity in villages, opening access to clean

water for its residents. Theresearch above has opened up the understanding of local ethnic

residents about the importance of the presence of transmigration residents in the Boalemo district

by how much the regional head performs

in improving the welfare of his citizens. All

of this has a basis in implementing

development programs, according to the

there must be a policy of developing the

service sector. So that investors and

residents of the community follow the

policies of the local government. However,

if the status of the area is in the district area,

then what will be made a priority for

regional development is the food security

development sector. These mainsets are

development programs in the region.

To meet the development standards

above, it is appropriate for the top liders in

the regions in this case the regional head

must also understand the concepts and

theories of swot analysis of each region he

leads as a state organization. With this

understanding, regional heads and SKPD

heads in each service understand what

must be done and what is not done. If we

governments in provinces consisting of

district and city governments have the

same obligation to support food security

policy programs. Where the district

infrastructure of the food security program,

used as a standard in developing regions in

realizing the food security program policies

this is important is because of the food

arson and destruction as a result of the

state not being able to meet the availability

of food. Indeed, this phenomenon can be

overcome through cooperation between

countries through import policies. But this

policy can also have a social impact,

especially for residents of the community

engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry

import policy is used as an alternative in

overcoming food scarcity every time our

country experiences a food crisis, it means

that there is something wrong in the

governance of state administration in

Indonesia, especially in areas that have the

potential to realize food swasembeda. This

means that government planning, local

government policies in implementing food

security programs must be improved in

together not unilaterally, if the government

wants to realize food security, then the

program involves stake holders in the

development of food security programs.

cooperation in implementing food security

regional heads, regional heads must

the above policies, is only one of several

alternatives to whether a food security

program policy can be carried out. If this is

not done, then social turmoil will occur. For

example, the misappropriation of palm oil

programs. Everywhere the citizens of the

that there is a game at the level of cooking

make a profit on the condition of this

cooking oil scarcity. The result of the policy

evaluation of the scarcity of cooking oil was

to find that there were officials in the

ministry of trade at the level of the director

the conditions of scarcity of cooking oil,

reminds us that a developed country will be

determined by how good or qualified it is

in carrying out proper public

administration. This means that a

developed country will be determined by

the welfare of its citizens for basic needs,

one of which is the need for food

availability. All this will be a consensual of

public policy in our country, especially in

the Boalemo district of Gorontalo Province

as a transmigration placement area from

the central government. Why the issue of

development of food security programs for

If you look at several areas where the

and in Gorontalo Province, there are

can be seen where previously unproductive

current condition of transmigration

very rapidly. Especially in the cultivation of

measuring the food security index in the

Boalemo district area. However, there are

health services. All these indicators will

determine whether the Boalemo Regency

area as a target area for the transmigration

District, can contribute to food security in

the region. Or vice versa whether the

presence of transmigration residents will be

a burden on local governments.

Based on the question above,

once a lot of sleeping land, has now

become a very productive land in the

happened in Boalemo Regency, especially

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Food security is a program in

achieving food availability for a country,

because food is the basic need of every

country of Ruwanda, the country of

Ethiopia. The scarcity of food availability

results in starvation for its citizens, so the

role of the United Nations through the

world body FAO

Organization Of The United Nations)

distributes aid to famine-stricken countries.

What happened on the African continent

was the scarcity of food due to

geographical conditions and food

problems that exist in several countries in

the African continent, our country is

obliged to reach out to help countries on

there is a massive famine. An attitude of

international solidarity must be embodied

in helping the citizens of the world when hit

by famine in any part of the world.

Hopefully, the good faith of our country in

helping to ease the burden on countries

plagued by hunger, will bear fruit in

realizing the Swasembeda Pangan, in order

to meet the basic needs of our citizens and

extend assistance to countries that are

helping countries around the world that are

experiencing hunger. And that history is

highly dreamed of repeating itself in the

current era of reform. For this reason, a

strategy is needed in developing the
