Objectives: We examine the impact of economic sectors, including agriculture, industry, services, and exports, on Indonesia’s food security. Furthermore, we investigate influence three types capital—direct investment, infrastructure, human capital—and several socioeconomic factors—inequality, unemployment, poverty, population density. Methods/Analysis: Using data all 34 Indonesian provinces from 2011 to 2019, employ generalized method moments other panel techniques assess four security indicators: a principal component analysis-based index, daily protein consumption, calorie agricultural production. Findings: investment significantly drives production Net exports are positively associated with intake, Surprisingly, infrastructure expenditure negatively affects consumption. While expanding manufacturing activities threaten security, growth in agriculture service sector supports higher intake. Factors such as income inequality, unemployment correlate Novelty/Improvements:As societal welfare decreases, increases alongside shifts dietary preferences. Agriculture serves source employment during downturns. Conversely, Human Development Index density suggest that Indonesia flourishes economically, demand for calorie- protein-rich foods grows, even declines.

Abstract Household food and water insecurity has been previously associated with adverse health consequences in children. However, these relationships are understudied middle‐income Latin American populations such as Ecuador, where a high prevalence of reported. Using cross‐sectional data from 2018 Ecuadorian National Health Nutrition Survey, we examined the association household (HFI), (HWI), concurrent HFI‐HWI diarrhoea, respiratory illness (RI), stunting 20,510 children aged ≤59 months. HFI was measured using Food Insecurity Experience Scale. HWI defined when households responded negatively to one or more four drinking indicators. Maternal caregivers reported on child diarrhoea RI episodes during previous 2 weeks. Measured length height used assess stunting. We constructed log‐binomial regression models estimate associations HFI, HWI, outcomes.
