Latar Belakang: Meskipun kerawanan pangan diidentifikasi pada akhir tahun 1970-an, hal tersebut masih merupakan masalah utama kesehatan masyarakat. Masalah tersebut menjadi beban bagi pelayanan kesehatan dan masyarakat karena para korban mengonsumsi makanan bergizi buruk sehingga mengakibatkan kekurangan gizi dan penyakit-penyakit kronis.

Tujuan: Untuk menentukan apakah ada hubungan antara panen kedelai dan ketahanan pangan di 25 desa di Uganda Utara.

Metode: studi eksperimen Kuasi One-Shot, berfokus pada 93 rumah tangga dari data sekunder proyek VODP 2016 - 2018. Digunakan uji T paired, Chi square, dan analisis multivariat. Variabel bebas utama panen kedelai (50,5% panen besar), ketahanan pangan tidak bebas (77,4% makanan aman)

Hasil: Ada perbedaan besar dalam rata-rata panen kedelai sebelum dan sesudah intervensi nilai P = 0,0005. Ada hubungan antara panen kedelai dan ketahanan pangan nilai P = 0,027 C.I (1,088 - 8,972) hasil chi square. Model multivariat menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan antara panen kedelai dan ketahanan pangan. Namun demikian, biji kedelai memiliki pengaruh terhadap ketahanan pangan dengan nilai P 0,038, OR, 3,449 C.I (1,069-11.134) dan ukuran pertanian rumah tangga berpengaruh terhadap ketahanan pangan nilai P 0,041, OR, 2,668 C.I (1,0749 - 9,503).

Rekomendasi: Diperlukan kebijakan-kebijakan untuk melindungi masyarakat dari kerawanan pangan.

Background: Although food insecurity was identified in late 1970s, it’s still a major problem of public health. However, it’s a burden to health care and society since victims consume poor nutrient diets and outcomes of these poor nutrient diets are malnutrition and chronic diseases. *Aim: To determine if there is a relationship between soybean harvests and food security in 25 villages of Northern Uganda. Method: One Shoot Quasi experimental study, focusing on 93 households from secondary data of VODP project 2016 - 2018. A paired T test, Chi square and multivariate analysis was used. Main independent variable soybean harvest (50.5% high harvests), dependent food security. (77.4%food secure) Results: There was huge difference in mean of soybean harvests before and after intervention Pvlaue = 0.0005. There was a relationship between soybean harvest and food security P value = 0.027 C.I (1.088 – 8.972) chi square results. Multivariate model showed no relationship between soybean harvest and food security. Nevertheless, soybean seeds had an influence on food security with P value 0.038, OR, 3.449 C.I (1.069-11.134) and household farm size had an effect on food security P value 0.041, OR, 2.668 C.I (1.0749 – 9.503). Recommendation: Policies to protect people from food insecurity are needed.
