Based on Observation in Nagari Koto Tuo showed that empowerment of women farmer group in food security has not been optimal yet. The indicators are: 1) the education of respondents is dominated by the elementary school (42.17%), thus greatly affect to food pattern and serving meal menu; 2) land productivity less than 0.5 ha is 71% and depends on rainwater (68%), 3) family expenditure is allocated mostly for food with calorie consumption less than 2100 kilocalories (63.66 %) and, only 36.7 % is a requirement of nutritional adequacy and mostly nutritional status are not ideal. The descriptions are indicated that the role of Nagari institution with the support of local wisdom is not optimal. Consequently, the management of food security has not been sustainable. The purpose of this study is the creation of a dynamic system model of empowerment of women farmers through several interventions. The research method is surveyed with observation and interview. The system dynamics (2018-2028) model is simulated by increasing the synergy intervention of women empowerment function and Nagari institutional for Nagari women's role (Bundo Kanduang). The intervention can be improved household welfare and can be reduced the poverty rate. The Implementation of the model is actualized by the empowerment of women farmers program according to carrying capacity environmental and local wisdom.
