Abstract
Food security is a complex issue that intersects with various fields, including the economy, health, poverty, and development policies. This study focuses on Lampung Province due to its high poverty levels, making it one of the poorest regions in Sumatra. The study aims to assess the food security situation in the districts and cities of Lampung Province and to examine how it relates to asset ownership and internet access. The data used in this study is from the 2022 Susenas survey in Lampung Province. Food security is measured based on the percentage of food expenditure and the fulfillment of calorie adequacy per adult, which differs from the criteria set by the National Food Agency. The results obtained are that low-income households have a high potential to experience food insecurity. Land ownership is positively related to food security, but savings ownership and internet access are negatively related.
