    Agricultural System of Homegardening to Support Food Security in Semi-Arid Region: A Case Study of Sustainable Food Reserved Garden in East Nusa-Tenggara. The model of Sustainable Food Reserved Garden (SFRG) or m-KRPL has been developed in East Nusa Tenggara (ENT) since 2011 as a tool to empowering household in managing homeyard in order to, both improve household's nutrition and income. This paper aimed to examine: 1) the diversity and specific characteristics of homeyards in ENT; and 2) the contribution of homeyard gardening to the beneficiaries of m-KRPL. Survey was conducted from October to December 2014. Six m-KRPL sites in three districts were chosen purposively based on main islands (Timor, Sumba, Flores) and agro-ecosystems (AEZ) representative (lowland and highland). The data was collected from Farm Record Keeping (FRK) and in-depth interviews using open-ended and semi-structure questionnaire. The data was analysed descriptively and also used farming analysis. The results showed that there are various types of homegarden practices among communities in the different AEZs. Homegarden practices confirm the similar goals for majority of farmers, that the produce plays role as a source of fresh and healthy food, as well as provides medicines, herbs and spices. Commodities planted in homegarden are more for subsistence; however, farmers who have an access to the market are willing to sell the excess production. Farming in homeyard could save household expenditure up-to Rp400,000/month. Existing plant species in the homegarden in Sikka district was higher than that in Sumba and TTS districts. Nevertheless, for all districts, the horticultural plants was more diverse in highland than those in lowland. Some identified constraints were water shortage, pest and diseases, free-range livestock, access to external inputs and market. Beside the technical-agronomic aspect, development of homegardening should consider homeyard as a “living space”, existing commodities, diet and market aspects. The implementation of m-KRPL should be extended to reach poor farmers

    Full text link
    In a marginal semi-arid environment, the cultivation of local upland rice is important as a staple food. However, climate change impacts genetic erosion, which can ultimately disrupt farmers’ food security and sovereignty. This study aims to understand the status of existence, cultivation methods, and conservation management by farmers in semi-arid areas. This study used primary data collected through interviews to determine the status of local upland rice and primary data on cultivation and conservation management. The location and respondents were selected purposively. The results showed that ENT Province has 81 varieties of upland rice: 20 accessions from Southwest Sumba, 22 from Ende, 15 from Ngada, and 24 from North Central Timor. All respondents stated that local upland rice is essential for food security, as 95% of the production is consumed as a staple food. Farmers’ interest in cultivating local rice is due to its advantages such as drought resistance, pest resistance, low production costs, and good taste. Farmers carry out traditional seed conservation, such as placing them in woven buri palm leaf containers. This requires integrating and considering technological interventions in regional agricultural development policies

    Bridging the Knowledge Gap between Fire Engineers and Building Service Engineers - Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach

    Full text link
    AbstractArchitects are confronted with the priority of the early integration of natural smoke ventilation (NSV) and natural thermal ventilation (NTV) objectives in retail building designs due to several reasons including wide range of expertise and lack of fire safety knowledge. This paper presents the perception of fire engineers (FE) and building service engineers (BSE) regarding the conceptual priorities of the early integration for particular design decisions. This was achieved through surveying FE and BSE and conducting an analytical study using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. An experts’ panel was held for each profession for confirmation. The results showed that FE and BSE have agreed on the most and least crucial design decisions that should/shouldn’t require integration of NSV and NTV objectives in the early stages of the architectural design process
