Quality of Life and Food Security in Rural Areas of Indonesia: a Case Study of Sedayulawas Village, Lamongan Regency, Indonesia

: As part of a poverty alleviation program enshrined in the global sustainable goals numbers one and two, Sedayulawas Village in the Lamongan Regency was selected as a pilot project with abundant agricultural land for crops such as corn, tubers, beans, and collecting salt. However, the declining institutional governance in the farming sector due to conflict has been brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. To figure out the quality of life (QOL) of the people in Sedayulawas Village, an evaluation was done using a questionnaire about QOL and food security. This strategy completely accomplishes its goals of providing information, identifying food security, and measuring it. This study also evaluates the impact of food security on residents of Sedayulawas Village who work in agriculture. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) approach was used, followed by analysis in SEM-PLS with smart-PLS software to develop the resultant model. The results show a positive result of the link between the QOL and food security, with the most important material variable having an effect of 77.9%. Therefore, increasing household food security for farmers is a to their subjective well-being and encourages human capital accumulation. This positively affects productivity and helps keep farming in rural Indonesia sustainable. Food insecurity in rural areas can be reduced by conducting research, developing mitigation strategies, and implementing them. To advance food security at the village level, several programs must be implemented by the government, including readiness programs that reduce hunger risk and improve quality of life.
