Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the proportion of household food consumption expenditure, determine the amount of household energy and protein consumption, the relationship between the proportion of food consumption expenditure with household energy and protein consumption, determine the condition of household food security and determine survival strategies (Survival Strategy) farmer households in the coastal area of Nias Regency, North Sumatra Province. The basic research method is analytical descriptive and its implementation is survey technique. Determination of the location is done intentionally (purposive sampling). Analysis of the data used is the proportion of household food consumption expenditure, household energy and protein consumption level, correlation test of the relationship between the proportion of food consumption expenditure with energy and protein consumption, household food security and survival strategy analysis. The results showed that the average proportion of food consumption expenditure to total expenditure was 61.08%. The average household TKE is 85.53% and the average household TKP is 88.11% so that both are included in the medium category. The proportion of expenditure on food consumption with energy and protein consumption has a significant relationship. The correlation coefficient value is -0.340 for energy and -0.367 for protein. The condition of household food security is food insecurity by 42%, food security by 34%, food insecurity by 22% and lack of food by 2%. Efforts to survive farmer households by implementing 50% active strategy, 28% implementing passive strategy and 22% implementing network strategy.

Keywords: Food Security, Energy Consumption, Protein Consumption, Food Proportion Expenditure, Survival Strategy.
