Abstract

One of the socio-economic impacts on national food security is the problem of farmers' poverty. Poverty will cause a lack of ability to access various resources, which in turn will lead to a process of impoverishment. In other words, the poor in the pandemic Covid-19 era have the potential to give birth to poverty issues that will affect the uneven distribution of agricultural products. This study uses a qualitative approach that will look at the extent of the socio-economic impact on national food security problems of farmer poverty. Data analysis uses an interactive approach model that analyzes the current low quality and capacity of farmers' resources. Research findings explain that poverty alleviation efforts will be useful if carried out systematically, comprehensively, and sustainably. This means that poverty alleviation of farmers must be carried out through planned stages, covering all aspects of the causes and their implications, covering various fields in synergy, and carried out continuously. The conclusions of the study provide information on the socio-economic impact of food security as a basis for planning and formulating current poverty reduction policies for farmers.
