This study investigates the role of the Lumbung Mataraman program in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) in
enhancing food security and supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly
SDG 2 (Zero Hunger). Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research was conducted in Sleman, Bantul, and
Gunungkidul regency’s regions with active participation in the program and diverse agroecological contexts. Data
were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders (including local
officials, extension officers, barn managers, and smallholder farmers), and policy documents and reports analysis.
The findings reveal that Lumbung Mataraman improves local food availability and resilience and fosters community
empowerment, institutional coordination, and the preservation of local wisdom. Moreover, the program supports
gender inclusion and sustainable agricultural practices and strengthens the socio-economic fabric of rural
communities. Lumbung Mataraman is a replicable model for sustainable, community-driven resilience strategies in
other regions by integrating traditional food security mechanisms with contemporary development frameworks.
