So that efforts are needed to overcome this problem such as food diversification, reducing imports accompanied by improving the quality of domestic production technology and the need for synergy between the government and the community to overcome these problems. The method in this study uses descriptive and exploratory methods that aim to present a complete picture of the situation to explore and clarify the phenomenon under study. Therefore, the synergy between the government and the community is expected to overcome the problem of food security in Indonesia
