Harga minyak dan harga pangan konon merupakan isu global saat ini. Harga pangan yang konon diperparah oleh perubahan iklim ekstrim yang bersifat global pula diduga berpengaruh negatif terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat global terutama penduduk miskin yang tinggal di daerah perkotaan. Barangkali karena semangat semacam ini Badan Ketahanan Pangan menggelar workshop beberapa hari yang lalu dan penulis diminta menyajikan makalah yang relevan.

Kemiskinan Perkotaan dan Ketahanan Pangan: Beberapa Catatan Awal
Published by Uzair Suhaimi
Statistics and religion. This is perhaps an unusual combination for many. The first is dealing with the empirical world, the second with that beyond that world. However, that is my reflection regarding myself. As a statistician, I spent 30 years (1981-2011) serving BPS-Statistics Indonesia. After that my professional services were dedicated to TNP2K office (an office under the vice president office) for a few months and to ILO-ROAP as a senior statistician for half a year. Since 2012 most of my time is dedicated as an independent consultant on statistics-related work, mostly for ILO and on some occasions for some government offices Indonesia. My recent work (2019) was on estimating child labour in Indonesia for ILO Country Office Jakarta. As for personal interest, since young, I've been fascinated with the basic principles of religious thought, especially on its esoteric dimensions, essentiality, and universality. Sufism and perennial philosophy are of my special interest. On this subject, I have posted a number of short articles in my personal blog: https://uzairsuhaimi.blog. View all posts by Uzair Suhaimi
