<![CDATA[Village food security is a strategic issue influenced by social, economic, and environmental dynamics. Pajeng Village, Gondang Subdistrict, Bojonegoro District, faces food security challenges due to declining rice production and shifting agricultural commodity markets. This study aims to develop a food barn management model that can support the food security of farming households. This study offers a new contribution by integrating group activities, institutional, and technical aspects of production into a single adaptive analysis framework and by placing food barn performance as the primary mediating variable. The study uses a quantitative approach involving 68 randomly selected food barn member farmers and is analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that group activities, institutional aspects, and technical production have a positive and significant effect on food barn performance but do not directly impact household food security. Conversely, food barn performance proved to be a key mediator, significantly improving the food security of farming families. These findings confirm that strengthening the function and governance of community-based food barns is a determining factor in achieving household food security. In terms of policy, this study recommends the development of adaptive, participatory village food barns that are integrated with local institutions as a sustainable strategy to strengthen rural food security.]]>
