Abstract

Food security is a system consisting of three sub-systems, namely availability, distribution and consumption. The participation of horticultural farmers in efforts to support food security is needed to achieve food self-sufficiency. The purpose of the research is to analyze; (1) gender conditions and the level of participation of horticultural farmers in the farming activities of potatoes, leeks and cabbages conducted in the Tengger-Bromo mountain region and (2) determinants of the participation level of horticultural farmers especially in potato, leek and cabbage farming on the basis on gender and ecological perspective. This research used quantitative approach and equipped with qualitative data. Respondents were 30 male farmers and 30 female farmers who joined a farmer group in Ngadisari Village, Sukapura District, Probolinggo Regency. The data were collected by using methods of interviews, observation and documentation and then analyzed by using descriptive and inferential with U-test and multiple linear regression. The results of the research show that: (1) gender roles are generally balanced in various fields, there is no significant difference in the participation of male and female farmers in planning and implementation as well as evaluation (U-Test value (0,97 > 0,05). (2) F-Test-value (0,000 < 0,05) shows a significant effect of all variabels in the model and adjusted R Square 76,1%. Factors that influence farmer participation from a gender and ecological perspective (sig. of variabels < 0,05) are personality traits of farmers, ecological environmental support and economic institutions. Factors that not influence farmer participation (sig. of variabels > 0,05) are intensity of counseling/empowerment and customary strength.
