This paper describes that improvements in food security in Indonesia have generally been driven by pro-poor economic growth and a successful Green Revolution. The author reviews research on the impact of rice prices on the poor, on real wages in rural and urban areas and on the broader macroeconomic consequences for investments in labor-intensive manufacturing. The author also focuses on how political and economic circumstances have changed since price stabilization balanced the needs of producers and consumers as Indonesia’s approach to food security.
