Abstract
Rural areas are crucial for agriculture in Indonesia, particularly in local rice production. However, many rural communities face challenges accessing safe and nutritious food due to limited transportation infrastructure, restricted local markets, and low incomes. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these issues by disrupting food supply chains and worsening food insecurity. This systematic review examines how local food production, including agriculture, contributed to food security in early COVID-19 rural Indonesia following the PRISMA procedure. The author uses five databases including, EBSCO Host, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, and GARUDA. Search using keywords food security, access, local production, rural, agriculture, pandemic COVID-19, and Indonesia. Fifteen studies showed most rural communities faced food insecurity at the start of the pandemic due to lockdowns and higher non-household expenses. Nevertheless, some villages remained food secure, relying on local agriculture and plantations. The findings of this review can provide valuable direction for implementing focused mitigation plans in particular areas to reduce the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and future global events on rural food security.
