<![CDATA[Research Originality: The originality of this research lies in integrating zakat as an Islamic financial instrument into the analysis of food security in Indonesia, a topic that has rarely been explored. Furthermore, it links the concept of maqashid sharia with the Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), thus offering a novel contribution both theoretically and practically to the food security literature. Research Purpose: This study aims to assess the likelihood of food security across Indonesian provinces and investigate the role of zakat solutions. Research Methods: Employing a quantitative methodology, panel data on zakat utilization, agricultural output, and poverty levels from 34 Indonesian provinces (2013-2022) were analyzed using EViews 9. Empirical Results: The findings reveal that agricultural output and zakat utilization have a positive and significant impact on food security, whereas poverty has a negative effect. Implications: More effective policies are necessary to manage zakat utilization, enhance food production, and alleviate poverty, thereby ensuring Indonesia has a more stable and sufficient food supply for all.]]>
