Abstract : The community food barn aims to bring closer access to food for its members and maintain supply stability and grain prices through storage that allows sales to be postponed until farmers receive better prices. This research aims to analyze the level of sustainability of community food storage management in Aceh Besar Regency and identify the factors that influence it. The focus of this research is on four community food barn in three sub-districts, namely (1) Suka Makmur community food barn Harapan Maju, (2) Lhoong community food barn Bersama Sadar, and (3) Kutabaro community food barn Lagang Jaya and community food barn Makmu Beusaree. The purposive sampling method was used to select research locations, while samples were taken using simple random sampling from members of the community food barn group, totaling 144 farmers. The research results showed that Harapan Maju was declared unsustainable in the ecological dimension (value 35.89) due to minimal use of straw waste and high use of chemical pesticide fertilizers. In the economic dimension, Harapan Maju (score 46.31) and Bersama Sadar (score 47.85) are also unsustainable due to suboptimal facilities and limited markets. In contrast, Makmu Beusare (score 57.2) and Lagang Jaya (54.03) are quite sustainable with good financial viability and facilities. In the social dimension, Makmu Beusaree (score of 66.50) and Lagang Jaya (60.92) have high member participation and good community development, while Harapan Maju (score 28.65) and Bersama Sadar (49.60) unsustainable due to lack of community participation and commitment. Factors that influence the sustainability of community food barn management include Environmental Impact Analysis, Environmental Management Efforts, Environmental Monitoring Efforts, soil and water quality, farmer income, government subsidies, as well as social sustainability that depends on food access, community participation, and local economic empowerment. Community food barn plays an important role in strengthening community capacity and participation, as well as improving the quality of life through education, health and decent work.
