This study investigates the role of policy entrepreneurs in driving food security policy changes in Indonesia through the Sustainable Food Yard (P2L) program in Bone and Maros districts. It focuses on resource exchange among Women Farmers Groups (KWT), extension workers, and local government bureaucrats to reveal how strategic collaboration and resource mobilization shape effective implementation. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered via interviews, observations, focus groups, and document analysis. Thematic analysis identifies key actors, implementation dynamics, and enabling and inhibiting factors. Findings show that while bureaucrats and extension workers serve as policy entrepreneurs—exercising discretion and forming informal networks—progress is hindered by centralized governance, bureaucratic complexity, and limited external funding. Successful KWTs rely on organizational strength, local innovations, and continued technical assistance. The findings highlight the need for reforming resource exchange mechanisms, building institutional capacity, and fostering multi‐stakeholder collaboration to support sustainable, community‐based food security policy
