摘要

The Food Self-Sufficiency (Mapan) Village Programme which was first introduced in 2006, is an Indonesian Government programme initiated by the Food Security Agency. This programme aimed to improve food security and nutrition of the local people so that they can live a sustainable, healthy and productive life. This programme is the result of the integration and consolidation of the existing people's empowerment models. The Mapan programme stressed more on people's participation and the improvement ofvillage officials' capacity in development of: (a) food availability by optimizing the available resources in a sustainable way; (b) distribution and access to food; (c) food quality and security; (d) food consumption quality; and (e) food handling quality (Nainggolan, 2006). The bottom-up action plan was conducted based on the potency and decision analyses to utilize natural resources in an efficient and sustainable way.
