Abstract
This study aims to build a conceptual model of an adaptive strategic food commodity management system held in the scope of the regional government using the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) approach. The use of this method is based on the fact that strategic food management in the implementation of the regional government is messy, ill-structured, complex and multidimensional therefore it requires a systemic and holistic approach, one of which is through SSM. The use of an adaptive strategic food commodity management system is very important as an effort to integrate strategic food commodity data which have been scattered in various stakeholders. Moreover, by using information technology, the system can optimize the best distribution chain of strategic food commodity in the region of Indonesia. However, research related to the use of the SSM approach in managing strategic food commodity using information technology to face global trade competition is still limited. The need to integrate data from strategic food commodity stakeholders is expected to be able to produce the best scheme that is adaptive to dynamic changes to face global trade competition.
