This study discusses the Bubusiano Sampe tradition in supporting local wisdom-based food security in Lapandewa District, South Buton Regency, as well as the Persaudaraan Madani (Permadani) Program of the district government as a model of social policy in overcoming poverty. Bubusiano Sampe functions as a mechanism for fair distribution of harvest results, strengthening social solidarity, and maintaining the cultural identity of the community. The role of parabela as traditional leaders is very central in decision-making, management of food barns, and resolution of local conflicts. The Permadani Program, which is based on the principle of one helping one, also shows that the value of solidarity can be a solution to socio-economic problems. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, where data is collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The study was conducted in three main villages in Lapandewa District. The results show that both Bubusiano Sampe and the Permadani Program emphasise the importance of community participation in building shared prosperity, while also showing that local wisdom-based policies are effective in increasing food security and reducing poverty. As a policy suggestion, the local government needs to integrate Bubusiano Sampe values into sustainable food security programs.
