Abstract

The results of multinomial logistic regression analysis highlighted several variables significantly impacting on household food security. Of the eleven independent variables, only two had significant influenced on household food security, namely average expenditure and adequate sanitation. This study can serve as a foundation for strategic policy decisions by the Mukomuko Regency regional government. The findings can also act as an early warning system in case of a decline in the food security index, whether due to the pandemic or other factors. In addition, at the national level, Indonesia still has the same agricultural problems as before, namely labor, inputs, land use changes, etc. Indonesia needs to work harder to advance agriculture as a career, integrate agriculture to increase farmers' incomes, and increase agricultural intensification to cover its limited agricultural land. Import dependence is increased the possibility of problems in the future. Overemphasis on rice as the main ingredient to achieve food security is caused by other problems. Food diversification programs need to be advanced with more regulations and activities.
