Study of Spatial Distribution of Agricultural Resources in Relation to Food Security in Rembang Regency

Agricultural resources play an important role in agricultural activities. However, its availability continues to decline so it is alarmed that it will threaten the availability of food and food security. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the spatial distribution of agricultural resources in relation to food security. A spatial approach is used to see variations in the availability of agricultural resources, food product yields and food security in each sub-district in Rembang Regency. The results of the study found that the spatial distribution of the availability of agricultural resources in each sub-district of Rembang Regency was unevenly distributed. The unequal distribution of available agricultural resources has also caused several sub-districts in Rembang Regency to be under the status of food insecure, somewhat food insecure and food insecure. The results of the overlay between the map of the level of availability of agricultural resources and the map of the level of food security indicate that there is a tendency that the availability of agricultural resources, both in terms of quality and quantity, has an effect on food security.
