Abstract

The Policy of Increasing Food Diversification is one of the priorities in the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Agriculture. One form of realization of food diversification policies is the diversity of consumption and household-based food safety. However, this policy has not been running optimally in Gowa Regency. This study aims to analyze the Responsiveness of the Food Diversification Policy in the Gowa Regency. The research method used is qualitative. Data collection techniques use in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of this study show that the policy responsiveness for the medium term of the program does not have an impact on improving nutrition and community welfare. A negative response also occurs in extension workers who do not carry out their duties regularly and professionally. To support the sustainability of the program, the Gowa Regency government must be involved until the end, mainly by providing special assistance for the program recipient groups and providing supporting facilities such as product packaging to marketing, not only limited to growing and developing plants of need but achieving a level of independence and improving the welfare of the community.
