The purpose was to support improved identification of the population and allow for targeted assessment and intervention strategies. Background Food insecurity is a problem among college students. College students experience this more than the general population and have a unique set of risk factors and consequences. This requires a comprehensive understanding of this concept to design effective interventions. Design Concept analysis using Walker and Avant. Data Sources Databases were searched for articles in English related to food insecurity among college students. Government reports and gray literature were also reviewed. No date limit was set.

The implementation of the Food Bank Siswa program is one of the strategies to eliminate hunger and food insecurity. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Food Bank Siswa program that has been implemented in Malaysia's public higher institutions and to ascertain the impact of the Food Bank Siswa program among B40 students in UTeM. A cluster sampling was used. The data from 52 respondents were obtained through online survey questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS software. The results indicated that the Food Bank Siswa program had the most prominent impact on food insecurity since most of the B40 students in UTeM were more satisfied with the role of the program in preventing food insufficiency. This study perhaps could help in spreading public awareness about this program among Malaysian citizens. Consequently, the government will become more proactive in strengthening the operation of the Food Bank Program in order to be more systematic. Finally, the Food Banks Siswa program have the potential to be implemented and expanded to all public and private universities in Malaysia as it provides useful insight that impact student's food security in supporting the government programs and plans; National Key Results Areas (NKRA) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“…As higher education institutions become increasingly aware of the problem of food insecurity within their student populations in the United States, an increasing number of institutions have taken steps to set up food banks to fight students (College and University Food Bank Alliance, 2015). A cross-campus collaboration was examined by Waity et al (2020) to evaluate levels of student food insecurity, identify factors contributing to an increased risk of food insecurity, and determine how to address food insecurity of 13 institutions in the United States. It is suggested from the study that institutions in their effort to improve student success may also consider improving access to student food which will give the same result.…”
