The data used in this research is secondary data obtained from Badan Pusat Statistik Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta in 2006 to 2015. The people food security is calculated using the food surplus/deficit method. In addition, this research using paired sample t test to determine the differences between food security before and after the conversion of wetlands occurred. The results showed that the conversion of wetlands led to the loss of rice production by 18.359,27 tons during the period 2006-2015. However, the people food security is maintained even though there are conversion of wetlands. The t test shows that there are significant differences in food security between before and after the conversion of wetlands occured.
