Abstract

Food security is a very important factor in the development of humankind from
antiquity to modern times. Along with the increasing world population, the need for
food is increasing. Insufficient food can have a positive impact in various sectors,
particularly the political, economic and health of a country. Increasing the number of
residents not accompanied by the addition of agricultural land will certainly have an
impact on the lack of world food supplies. Lack of food raw materials will affect the
increase in the number of hungry. Famine will have an impact on the political and
economic stability of a country. Not to mention other hazards that could arise because of
hunger, such as rising crime and declining levels of public education. This paper
discusses the overview of local knowledge from the Dayak Tribe in Kalimantan to
fostering food security.
Keywords: food security, Dayak tribe, Borneo
