Pursuing food security is a significant issue for most provinces, including Central Java. This study considers the prominent role of the economic dimension, shown by the share of food expenditure, in improving the level of food security. By examining the effect on food security of food expenditure in the diverse economic conditions across the districts of Central Java, this study finds that food expenditure share is the most important factor to ensure the food security status. This research study uses Johnson & Toole (1991)’s methods, following Maxwell, et al. (1995), to describe the food security status in Indonesia. It uses analysis between the share of food expenditure and calorie intake to show the level of food security. Food security status is classified into four categories (food secure, less secure, vulnerable, and insecure), which are determined using two standard requirements of calorie intake, the National Food and Nutrition Symposium Standard and the World Bank Standard.}, pages = {48--56} url = {https://proceedings.undip.ac.id/index.php/icrd/article/view/177} }
