A study was conducted to understand more on the depth of the relation between food security and local initiatives development. The aim of this research is to figure out how small peasant households build their institutions as they react to fulfill food security needs. The study is also to understand what type of intervention programs have been developed by the government and community, especially those concentrating in rural food-security. The study also seeks to find the answer of how deep had the peasants’ interest and initiatives been considered to be important part of food-security development program. Las but not least it was devoted to identify the current state of food-security situation of peasant’s household in rural areas. The research was carried out in Jambakan Village, Bayat Sub-district of Central Java Province. The method used in this study was community study (through survey and qualitative approaches and case study). The results of the study are: the implementation of food self reliant village program run by the government was not quite successful to accomplish due to governance problematic at local level. Some key factors explaining the relationship between the successfulness of the program and food security’s achievements are technical assistance, community organizers, trust, and leadership

Summary
Salah satu isu penting dalam pembangunan masyarakat pedesaan adalah masalah kemiskinan. Kemiskinan petani gurem di pedesaan disebabkan oleh banyak hal, diantaranya kebijakan pemerintah yang tidak tepat, baik dalam pendekatan yang dilakukan maupun dalam pemilihan bentuk program seringkali tidak mengakomodir kepentingan rumah tangga miskin. Keadaan lain yang mempersulit terakomodirnya kepentingan rumah tangga miskin dalam program pemerintah adalah bahwa program-program tersebut hanya dinikmati oleh golongan lapisan elit desa dan kerabat-kerabatnya yang secara sosial-ekonomi relatif mampu.
