In addition, the researcher also used the means scores from the descriptive analysis to study how often students respond to the highest impact among the three identified impacts which are food insecurity, healthy diet and food poverty. The results of the study found that food insecurity was the most dominant from the three stated impacts. The implementation of a Food Bank Siswa is one of the strategies to eliminate hunger and lack of food security.
