The term "Patorani" refers to a person who works to catch flying fish. This activity is still mostly done by fishermen in South Sulawesi. In the activity of catching flying fish, there are a number of things that work outside of human rationality wrapped with religious understanding by using simple technology that is environmentally friendly. Departing from that premise, this paper intends to reveal various occult and religiosity in catching flying fish. The method used to reveal patorani activity is ethnography through in-depth discussion with patorani fishermen. This research was conducted in Galesong sub district of Takalar regency. The results show that the world of fly fishing is full of mysticism and is influenced by the religious ideology of patorani. It is argued that it would be anachronistic if patorani fishermen practicing centuries old methods were seen as an act of "environmental destruction". The heart of the problem is not in catching the flying fish, but in its patorani culture (magic, religiosity, and technology) that keeps their activities in a controlled environment, a culture that is proven to be sustainable even though the blue revolution and world markets demand shakes it.

Restricted production facilities for fishermen and marginal land ownership have triggerred low living standard for communities on small islands. This negatively impacts on community members' ability to fulfill household food needs. Therefore, long-term survival requires a pattern of adaptation by the social environment of the community. This study examines and analyzes the strategies of a single community's food production and consumption within an island ecosystem. Case study research was chosen in order to provide in-depth exploration and description of the adaptation patterns of the community's food production and consumption on Karampuang Island. The data were collected using in-depth interviews supplemented by focus group discussions and field observations in order to comprehensively explore the social and economic lives of community members. The results indicated that the adaptation strategies of the community's food production in Karampuang Island included a double livelihood strategy. Gendered division of labor was found to utilize the optimal potential of household workers: men were responsible to do fishing in the sea and work as wage laborers in Mamuju City while women were responsible for selling the fish to market in Mamuju City market, and worked as laundry women and shopkeepers. The food consumption adaptation strategy among people in Karampuang Island was accomplished by diversifying food between cassava and rice.

Patterns of production and consumption of food communities in coastal regions are different from the people who live in mountainous areas or other areas (agricultural society). The fundamental difference between coastal communities and the agricultural society is due to the access to land. This study aimed to assess the patterns of food production and consumption in coastal areas. The method used is a case study to look deeply at the social reality of consumption and production pattern in coastal regions. Field data collection is done systematically through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and field observation. The focus on research is the coastal community in Karampuang island. The target group is determined based on the knowledge of field conditions, and the initial information has been obtained from key informants. The most important results were obtained, namely: Patterns of food production of the island Karampuang characterized by the production of a limited form of cassava were only able to complement the food needs alone, and Society Consumption Pattern Karampuang Island is characterized by the intensity of the low consumption, low consumption type material variations.

Challenges in providing sufficient food is a society problem and it will exist along with human civilization history.In this modern civilization, when the population reach more than 7 million people in the world, food consumption and production become a civilization problem and nature becomes a victim of it. Nowadays, almost 1 million people facing undernutrition and malnutritionThis study aimed to identify the pattern of food consumption and production in Tempe Lake, the biggest lake in the province or in Sulawesi island.

Some informants who know more about the lake were also interviewed. Data gathered mainly about land use of the lake during dry season and wet (flood) season, and food consumption and production pattern, This research found that fish production of the lake has decreased significantly in the last 20 years due to sedimentation, overfishing and environmental contamination. People consumed various foods for their dietary but mostly consuming rice that they purchased from market and fish and vegetables from the lake. There was no different in amount of rice and fish consumed during wet and dry season.
