This paper presents a critical content analysis of food resilience policies based on a supply chain and food logistics perspective in Indonesia. The dominant policy approach to improving people's food resilience, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic. In-depth analysis was carried out on policy documents from 2012 to 2020. Content analysis techniques are used to analyze food resilience based on a food supply chain and logistics perspective, take the form of policy documents and track any changes in selected content across policy periods and their implications for governance and individualization of responsibilities. There are three pillars in food resilience, namely availability, affordability and stability. Indonesia is an archipelago country. The logistics distribution channel and the food supply chain have a very strategic role, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic. This role is mainly in handling the outbreak and meeting domestic consumption needs, especially related to food. The distribution process is more towards online markets or digitization. The challenge for island nations is high logistics costs. In addition, logistical inefficiencies include duplication and repetition of documents, asymmetric information related to supply and demand, the absence of an integrated upstream to downstream logistics platform for all supply chain stakeholders and food logistics in Indonesia. The National Logistics System/ Sislognas Arrangement has been started from 2012 until now with the launch of the National Logistic Ecosystem/ NLE policy. This analysis is the first analysis of the content of food resilience policies based on the perspective of the supply chain and food logistics in Indonesia. This analysis is expected to provide new insights into food resilience policies from a food supply chain and logistics perspective.
