Background: Malnutrition and lack of access to food are ongoing problems in the world, and Lombok Tengah, West Nusa Tenggara, is not an exception. Inadequate dietary intake among children under five years of age in Central Lombok can have negative short and long term health effects, including stunted physical growth and impaired cognitive development in childhood. Female farmworkers have been among the most impacted populations in this socioeconomic transformation. Methods: This is a cross sectional study and subjects in the study was randomly selected, while the number of samples participating in this study was 359 farmer households. The research has a purpose to evaluate the dietary diversity and food security of female farmworkers in Lombok Tengah. Results: Meat, poultry, and similar goods were found to have statistically significant correlations with food security status in unadjusted studies. Conclusion: Additionally, a high correlation was seen between food security and household dietary diversity. The community's appalling nutrition status was made clear by the findings.
