ABSTRACT
All countries around the world are dealing the same problem in assuring the sufficiency
of food for feeding their people. Indonesia is the biggest agrarian state in South East Asia
and the fourth largest state in the world. The challenge faced by Indonesia with a large
population is on how food meets the needs of its population, which until now Indonesia has

not been able to guarantee the fulfillment of food supply for its population. This study aims
to analyze the influence of determinant factors toward Indonesian food security. Binary Logit
Model was employed to analyze determinant factors of Indonesian food security. Jonsson
and Toole criterion of food security was used to identify Indonesian food security status as
dependent variable. This research found that land area, rice production, corn production,
soybean production, chicken meat production, beef production, the population density the
CPI (Customer Price Index) including the CPI for housing, electricity and gas, the CPI
for health, the CPI for transportation and financial services, and FIMI (Food Insecurity
Multidimensional Index) have significant influences towards the level of food security
in Indonesia. It means that food security could be achieved by not only improving the
quantity and quality of consumption, but also improving food supply, the ability to access
economically and the stability.
