The main objective of this study is to strengthen local institutions based on collaborative organizations for the implementation of food security policy. Based on the results of the pattern matching techniques, the performance of food security policy has not been effective. This is caused by the institutional system of this policy cannot be used as a driver to achieve value, namely increasing food productivity. This can be shown in the cognitive system of this institution is still dominated by mindset oriented funds. The normative system is still dominated by the government as a provider of resources and does not make effective resource sharing among stakeholders. Then, the regulative system still has a top-down approach so that it has not become binding for all stakeholders to improve the performance of this policy. Therefore, strengthening local collaborative institution becomes an important choice for the performance of public policy. Keywords: Public Policy, Policy Implementation, Local Collaborative Institution, and Food Security.
