Therefore, as an initial step to overcome the problem of food insecurity, it is necessary to identify the condition of food security in OKU Regency. The purpose of this study is to analyze access to food and the availability of rice at the growth rate in OKU Regency. The access-utilization indicators used in this study are three indicators, namely: 1) poor population, 2) population working less than 15 hours a week, and 3) population not graduating from elementary school. This research method is descriptive quantitative. The data used in this study are secondary data obtained from related agencies. The results of this study indicate that there are four sub-districts with a rice surplus with a composite index of less than 1, while nine sub-districts are rice deficits with a composite index of more than 1. In terms of access, six sub-districts are in good access conditions with a composite of less than 1, and seven others are in poor access with an index of more than 1.
