Abstract:
This research aimed to determine the community response to the implementation of the
acceleration program of food consumption diversification in Central Sulawesi. The research was
done by survey, conducted in all regencies that were targeted by activities and received funding
from the center, namely: Donggala Regency, Parigi Moutong Regency, Poso Regency, Toli-Toli
Regency, and Banggai Regency. In each regency, sampling (respondent) was done by simple
random sampling for each target group of participants, as many as 30 people each regency.
Retrieval of respondent data with interview techniques used a questionnaire instrument that had
been prepared previously. The results showed that more than 70% of the respondents had an area
of arable land above 1.0 ha and an average yardland area of 1,384.5 m2. The types of crops
cultivated in yardland vary considerably between food, fruit, vegetables, and medicinal crops.
The food ingredients usually consumed apart from rice were corn, tubers, and bananas; however,
households were not yet able to replace rice as the staple food. |
