Analysis of the Business Impact of
the Food Security Investment Program in Pinrang Regency

3.1. Introduction

Every government have the task of ensuring the safety of the food supply. Ac-
cording to Erokhin and Gao (Erokhin & Gao, 2020), the government, whether at the

central or regional level, is confronted with several policy options that it must adapt to

meet the needs of the people to guarantee food security. These policy options include
expanding investment programs in agriculture; encouraging the use of environmentally

friendly technology by climate change; restoring agricultural land that the use of chem-
icals has damaged; ensuring that postharvest storage and supply chain mechanisms

are improved; and even getting involved in the promotion of their agricultural products
specifically. Each government at each of these levels faces particular challenges for

the middle class in their society, which is transitioning away from traditional foods and

According to Balkrishna, etc. (Balkrishna, Chaudhary, Joshi, & Arya, 2021), the
Millennium Ecosystem Assessment report includes a list of various general strategies

to encourage more sustainable land use. Each of these strategies is highly applicable
to organic agriculture. This is about the global development of agriculture. The creation

of proper institutions for government and marketing, overcoming social and behavioral
hurdles, and encouraging investment in development are all examples of these tech-

niques. Several specific policy measures were offered in addition to promoting relevant

technologies, knowledge, and specialized skills.
Furthermore, according to Purwanto (Purwanto, 2021), the utilization of appro-

priate technology, adequate agricultural knowledge, and farming skills, the factors of
water, energy, and food security, as well as the interactions between their components

internally and their interrelationships with environmental, social, government, and even
political conditions, are the factors that cause these issues to become more important

and require more attention. The primary issues currently being passionately debated

in developing countries and wealthy countries are concerned with the current state of
water, food, and food security, all of which are extremely complicated. To achieve a
