<![CDATA[The importance of efforts to realize food security through the implementation of food policies in accordance with Law Number 18 of 2012 concerning Food is very crucial. The Cheap Staple Rice Program (SPM) in Nagari Biaro Gadang is one of the programs that aims to reduce production costs, increase agricultural production, strengthen food availability, and improve the welfare of farmers and the community. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Law Number 18 of 2012 concerning Food in the program and review its implementation from the perspective of Siyasah Maliyah. The research method used is field research with interview techniques and direct observation. Primary data sources are farmers and village officials, while secondary data comes from the community in Nagari Biaro Gadang. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the Cheap Staple Rice Program has in principle supported the objectives of Law Number 18 of 2012, especially in the aspects of food availability, increasing production, and strengthening community food security. This program provides benefits in the form of production cost efficiency, improved crop quality, and improved farmer welfare. From the perspective of Siyasah Maliyah, this program aligns with the principles of public welfare, justice, equitable distribution of benefits, and the leadership's responsibility for the welfare of the people. However, there are negative impacts for rice farmers and fertilizer and pesticide sellers, who experience decreased income. Nevertheless, this program has significant potential to achieve food security if supported by the government, with proper oversight, and clarity on its sustainability.]]>
