This study aims to analyze the economic determinants of food security across Indonesian provinces during the period 2020–2024. Food security is proxied by the Food Security Index (IKP), while the explanatory variables include rice productivity, poverty levels, regional minimum wages (UMR), average years of schooling (RLS), and unemployment rates. Using panel data from 26 provinces and a fixed-effects regression approach, the results indicate that rice productivity, poverty, education, and unemployment have positive and significant effects on provincial food security. In contrast, regional minimum wages show no significant impact, suggesting that household purchasing power is more heavily influenced by food price dynamics than nominal wage increases. These findings confirm that food security is multidimensional, shaped by the interplay of availability, access, utilization, and stability as defined by the FAO framework. The study highlights the need for integrated policies encompassing agricultural productivity, price stabilization, nutrition literacy, and social protection to strengthen regional food security
