Summary:Food security is a condition of fulfilling the needs of foods every household, which is reflected in the availability of adequate food, both quantity and quality, equitable, and affordable. As the main manager in the fulfillment of food and nutrition needs in the family, mothers must maintain family food security under any conditions. Through good environmental knowledge, it can become a mother’s capital in utilizing a home garden to be planted with local food crops. Utilization of the yard can not only fulfill family food and nutrition needs but also increase family income. This study explored the influence of the mother’s ecoliteracy in maintaining family food security. The sample consisted of 100 mothers in Segaran Village, Karawang District. The study method used was quantitative descriptive with survey techniques.The result of the analysis revealed the mother’s ecoliteracy has a significant correlation with a mother’s role in maintaining family food security with a determination coefficient of 20,2%. The results showed that the mother’s ecoliteracy in Segaran Village still had to be improved by counseling and training. It is hoped that the increase in the mother’s ecoliteracy can impact increasing family food security through the movement of utilizing a home garden.
