The research design with the quantitative research was employed in this study. The questionnaire used as an instrument for the data collection was done as a quantitative approach and the Canonical Correlation was used for the data analysis. The result of quantitative research, the finding revealed the best model of canonical correlation was the model had canonically correlated with .51355 between the set of independent variable of the land fertility, the vegetable production, the meat production, the food sources, and the community participation for the natural resource and the environment conservation and the set of dependent variable of food quality, food quantity, and food safety.

Le questionnaire utilise comme un instrument pour la collecte des donnees a ete effectuee dans une approche quantitative et la correlation canonique a ete utilise pour l'analyse des donnees. Le resultat de la recherche quantitative, la recherche revele le meilleur modele de correlation canonique a ete le modele avait canoniquement en correlation avec 0,51355 entre l'ensemble des variables independantes de la fertilite des terres, la production vegetale, la production de viande, les sources de nourriture, et la communaute participation pour les ressources naturelles et la conservation de l'environnement et l'ensemble des variables dependantes de securite de qualite des aliments, la quantite de nourriture, et la nourriture.
