Rapid population growth tends to occur in urban Indonesia
Validity and Reliability Test In this model of study, the convergent validity test shows that the results of the analysis of the loading factor value obtained from all indicator variables have a value (> 0.5) and the analysis results of the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) value of the exogenous latent variables have a value of> 0.5 (Table 1)

Summary
Rapid population growth tends to occur in urban Indonesia. As a result, cities are not able to support the lives of some urban communities properly (Mardiansjah et al, 2018). The problems of food insecurity, environmental problems such as environmental cleanliness and pollution are increasingly evident, so they need to be resolved (Fauzi et al, 2016). Food insecurity is a condition in which families experience difficulty in fulfilling food needs (Darwis, 2013). Food insecurity is often experienced by all levels of urban society where they depend on food supplies from outside the region (Atem & Niko, 2020). This causes the food material to be obtained is of low quality and not fresh (Purwaningsih, 2008)
