Abstract:

This study aims to analyse the implementation of a green economy in supporting environmental sustainability and food security in Boven Digoel Regency, South Papua Province. The research highlights key challenges, including climate change, environmental pollution, and biodiversity loss, all of which significantly impact local food security. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilising data collected through interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that while green economy initiatives have been introduced, their effectiveness remains limited due to critical barriers, particularly in access to appropriate technology, infrastructure, and institutional support. The study emphasises the importance of enhanced collaboration among government institutions, the private sector, and local communities to foster sustainable food systems and environmental conservation. Moreover, integrating local wisdom and community participation is essential for achieving long-term resilience. This research contributes valuable insights to the theoretical and practical development of green economy strategies at the regional level, offering a framework for addressing environmental and food-related challenges in similar contexts.

Keywords: Green Economy; Food Security; Environmental Sustainability; Sustainable Development; Institutional Support; Long-Term Resilience; Community Participation; Theoretical and Practical Development.
