<![CDATA[Food security is one of the development priorities in the Government Work Plan (RKP). The formulation of policies regarding the implementation of food security must provide an output that can stabilize food availability based on self-sufficiency and increase ease and ability to access food. This study intends to analyze the socio-economic factors affecting food security in Indonesia. The data used is household-level data from the fifth Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS5) covering 9.819 households. This study uses logistic regression as an estimation method with the dependent variable, namely food security, calculated based on the food consumption score (FCS). Meanwhile, the independent variables are: (1) the profile of the head of the household which includes age, gender, marital status, level of education; (2) qualitative factors which include the type of work of the head of the household, the main fuel for cooking, the availability of toilet, electricity, and water sources in the house; and (3) the location of the households (urban or rural areas). The results show that factors influencing household food security are sanitation aspects (the presence of toilet and water sources inside the house), the use of the main fuel for cooking, the location of the household, as well as the age, marital status, level of education and the type of livelihood of the head of the household.]]>
