Abstract

Food resilience is intricately linked to household standard of living, human development, and economic growth. Higher food expenditure not only signifies improved living standards but also provides households with the necessary energy and nutrition for daily activities. The integration of technology holds promise for bolstering food resilience among households.However, there exists a gap in understanding how technology can enhance household food resilience across different socioeconomic classes, considering the diverse food expenditure patterns observed. This paper employs quantile regressions to examine the impact of technology on food resilience, accounting for heterogeneity across socio-economic classes.Utilizing data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 5 dataset, our findings reveal varying effects of certain variables across different classes. Key contributors to food expenditure identified include income, household size, education, and engagement in agriculture as the primary source of employment. Consequently, policy interventions should prioritize expanding internet access for low-decile households residing in rural areas to effectively enhance food resilience.

利用技术提高印度尼西亚农村家庭的粮食抗灾能力

粮食复原力与家庭生活水平、人类发展和经济增长密切相关。较高的粮食支出不仅意味着生活水平的提高，还能为家庭提供日常活动所需的能量和营养。然而，考虑到所观察到的不同粮食支出模式，在理解技术如何增强不同社会经济阶层的家庭粮食抗灾能力方面还存在差距。利用印度尼西亚家庭生活调查（IFLS）第五波数据集的数据，我们的研究结果显示，某些变量对不同阶层的影响各不相同。收入、家庭规模、教育程度以及作为主要就业来源的农业参与度是影响食品支出的主要因素。因此，政策干预应优先扩大农村地区低分家庭的互联网接入，以有效提高粮食抗灾能力。

期刊介绍： Economia agro-alimentare/Food Economy is a triannual peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Franco Angeli Edizioni on behalf of the Italian Society of Agri-food Economics (SIEA), founded in 1996 by the then President of SIEA Fausto Cantarelli. It offers an international forum for the discussion and analysis of mono and interdisciplinary socio-economic, political, legal and technical issues, related to agricultural and food systems. It welcomes submissions of original papers focusing on agriculture, food, natural resources, safety, nutrition and health, including all processes and infrastructure involved in providing food to populations; as well as the processes, inputs and outputs involved in consumption and disposal of food and food-related items. Analyses also include social, political, economic and environmental contexts and human resource challenges. Submissions should be addressed to an international audience of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, and they may consider local, national, or global scales.
