Abstract: The study aimed to analyse factors influencing food security in West Nusa Tenggara province, involving 125 respondents and utilising partial least square (PLS) analysis. Findings revealed: 1) nation culture, farmer's economic condition, distribution, and warehouse service quality significantly affect farmer welfare; 2) farmer welfare positively influences food independence; 3) farmer welfare and food independence positively impact food security; 4) gratitude for farmers moderates the relationship between nation culture and farmer's economic condition on welfare, while farmer's anticipation moderates distribution and warehouse service quality effects on welfare; 5) anticipation does not significantly moderate nation culture and economic conditions' effects on welfare. The study comprehensively examined nation culture, farmer economics, distribution and warehouse quality, gratitude, anticipation, and food independence as food security determinants in West Nusa Tenggara province.

Keywords: farmer welfare; food independence; food security.
