Household food security relates not only to the quantity of available food but also to consumption quality, food access, and social support within the community. This study aimed to identify elements of community social capital and describe the state of household food security in Negeri Rutong, South Leitimur District, Ambon City. The research was conducted from October to November 2025, involving 30 heads of households selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using both descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. Food security status was assessed using the Household Food Security and Hunger Scale Measurement (HFSSM). The results indicate that elements of social capital—specifically trust, social norms, and social networks—fell predominantly into the high category, at 71.77%, 79.15%, and 70%, respectively. Regarding food security, no indications of severe hunger or frequent reductions in food quantity were found. However, some households still experienced food-related anxiety and a decline in consumption quality. The utilization of local food was also significant; average sago consumption was 51.20 kg/household/month, surpassing that of rice (19.19 kg/household/month) and tubers (12.06 kg/household/month). These findings suggest that household food security in Negeri Rutong is relatively stable in terms of quantity but faces challenges regarding consumption quality and the certainty of food access.
