Climate change poses a significant threat to food security, particularly among dairy farmers in Indonesia who rely on climate-sensitive agricultural and livestock systems. This study examines the resilience of dairy cattle farmers in Malang Regency, East Java, focusing on how food accessibility, utilization, and stability influence household food security amidst climate variability. Using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, data were collected from 302 dairy farmers in the Pujon and Ngantang subdistricts. The findings indicate that food accessibility, food utilization, and food stability positively contribute to household food security, while climate change has a significantly negative impact. Demographic characteristics such as farming experience, household size, and income also influence food security outcomes.The study underscores the necessity of targeted policy interventions, including climate-resilient livestock farming, improved market infrastructure, and access to financial support to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. These findings provide empirical evidence to support climate adaptation strategies and enhance food security resilience among dairy farming communities in Indonesia. Copyright: 2025 by the authors.
