Food needs and food availability is a factor in measuring food security. Conditions of availability and demand for food always changes every year, because it is influenced by several factors. Uncertainty of supporting factors regarding food availability (such as land area, climate and others) as well as the population that continues to increase which has an impact on amount of food needs, can cause an imbalance in the region’s food adequacy conditions. This study aims to project the availability and need for food until 2030 in Purworejo District. The study was conducted using quantitative methods that were analyzed descriptively and spatially. The study uses data on population, agricultural production and the value of rice consumption obtained through the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The results show that the projected availability and demand for rice in 2030 shows an increase in both the amount of availability and food needs. Total food availability increased by 1.27 percent from 2018, while total food demand increased by 3.78 percent from 2018. Spatially, there was an increase in the number of sub-districts included in the “low” classification of food availability in 2030, namely Purworjeo, Gebang and Bruno Sub-district, while the districts that have the highest food needs from 2018 to 2030, still occur in Purworejo District.
