This study aims to analyze indigenous agriculture from economic resources in East Java Province as an existing economic resource of strategy and development that evolve into the primary source. This research employed survey and action research methods and secondary data sourced from the central bureau of statistics on 17 economic sectors in Pasuruan and Probolinggo regencies. This research applied survey and action research methods as it attempts to identify the resource potential in each sector setting as the basic strategy for sustainable resources to be the leading sector and as the basis to empower economic resources to reach sustainable food security. This research methodology uses three analysis devices: Location Quotient, Growth Ratio Model and finally describes how to combine LQ and Growth Ratio Model. The result showed that Probolinggo Regency was categorized as rapid advance but left behind. In other words, the economic growth of Probolinggo Regency has weakened. Meanwhile, the food security in Pasuruan Regency was weak. This regency had focused on increasing its economic growth rather than sustainability. The research found that sectors with a positive Growth Ratio Model might move the local economy through regional development innovations.
