Abstract

Indonesia has a new variety of rice, namely Inpari Nutri Zinc rice. Bantul Regency is one of the areas for developing this rice, one of which is in Imogiri District. Inpari Nutri Zinc rice is a functional food to overcome the high stunting rate in Imogiri District. In 2023, Imogiri District had the highest number of stunted toddlers in Bantul Regency, reaching 434 toddlers. In addition, Imogiri District experienced crop failures which caused farmers’ welfare issues such as food insufficiency and poverty. The research problems aim to: (1) identify the income and expenditure of Inpari Nutri Zinc rice farming households, (2) analyze the welfare of these households, (3) analyze food security, and (4) analyze the factors that influence food security. This study used a census technique, and 125 respondents were selected. The data were analyzed quantitatively, including GSR (Good Service Ratio) to analyze the welfare of farmer households, HFIAS (Household Food Insecurity Access Scale) with 9 questions related to the availability, quality, and quantity of food. Nutritional Adequacy Rate was used to determine food quantity and Expected Food Pattern to determine food quality, as used in national nutrition recommendations and by the Indonesian Food Security Agency. Binary logit analysis was used to identify factors affecting food security, analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that 56.80% of farmers were food secure. Most (53.60%) of farmers were categorized as less prosperous, with poor food quantity and quality. Expenditure, education, and gender were identified as factors affecting food security among farmer households.
