Abstract: The transition from agricultural to non-agricultural land has become a national issue in Indonesia. Land conversion has resulted in the reduction of food-productive agricultural land and has had a negative impact on achieving food security. Therefore, the author proposes an initiative to formulate a formulation of a food sufficiency index and minimum food area to achieve food sufficiency for rice and can also be used to achieve sufficiency for other types of food. Using data sourced from the Department of Agriculture and Food Security, the Central Statistics Agency of North Lombok Regency and West Nusa Tenggara Province to determine the status of rice food adequacy and the minimum food area required to achieve food sufficiency. As a result, North Lombok Regency is included in the vulnerable category food rice, except in 2018, including sufficient food rice. The variables determining rice food adequacy are the area of paddy fields h , planting index, rice productivity per hectare, and rice food consumption per person per year.
