Abstract

This greatly affects the purchasing power of the people to meet their basic needs. Sensitivity to the price and availability of rice is not only felt at the level of ordinary people who consume rice, but also at the level of farmers who produce rice who still have the risk of food insecurity, due to the lag in the planting and production periods, as well as the risk of crop failure. This study will analyze the food security strategy in Indonesia with the support of various literature data. The purpose of this research is to map the strategies implemented in Indonesia by policy makers, businesses, farmers in maintaining and supporting food productivity. From the results of the research conducted, there are at least three levels of strategies implemented in Indonesia, namely the household level, regional level, and national level.
