The independent food resilience of landless farmer households needs to be seriously strengthened in rural areas prone to agricultural land conversion. This effort is both potential and strategic for supporting the improvement of human resource quality in agriculture. However, economic pressure and the scarcity of productive job opportunities weaken independent food resilience. One primary cause is the ongoing conversion of agricultural land. This issue requires a wise and precise solution. The specific objective of this study is to examine the empirical conditions and techniques of food resilience in landless farmer households in rural areas vulnerable to agricultural land conversion. The study was intentionally conducted in rural areas of Kembaran Sub-district, Banyumas Regency, and Kutasari Sub-district, Purbalingga Regency, Central Java Province. The research design integrates mixed methods, field studies using intrinsic case study methods with qualitative and quantitative approaches. Scientific method assembly with participatory methods was achieved through Narrative Synthesis. Collaborative Study Methods (JISAM) were utilized for a consortium-based collaborative examination of research problems. Research findings reveal three food resilience techniques among respondent households: emergency, permanent, and integrated food resilience. Each technique shows varying empirical conditions influenced by determining factors. The most dominant factors are food accessibility, food availability, income, food storage, and food processing technological proficiency. Enhancing the functionality of these five determinants significantly strengthens the three food resilience techniques toward independence.
