| dc.description | This thesis explores the concept of food security among the Bidayuh community in Padawan, Sarawak. Food security, a critical global issue, to ensure that all people have access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. The study aims to understand the Bidayuh's perceptions of food security, identify the factors affecting their food security, and examine the medium- and long-term strategies they employ to ensure household food security. Utilizing an exploratory study, data were collected through interviews and surveys with members of the Bidayuh community. The findings reveal that food security in this context is influenced by socioeconomic factors, cultural practices, and access to resources. The study also highlights the community's resilience and adaptive strategies in the face of food insecurity challenges. These insights contribute to the broader discussion on food security by providing a localized understanding of how indigenous communities guide and sustain their food systems. | |
