Abstract The increasing frequency and intensity of floods in the Bengawan Solo River basin, particularly in Sragen and Ngawi Regencies, pose significant threats to agricultural livelihoods and regional food security. This study investigates sustainable flood-risk mitigation strategies for farmers by identifying key risk factors and prioritizing adaptive interventions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining Geographic Information System (GIS)-based flood mapping, literature review, stakeholder interviews, and the House of Risk (HoR) analytical framework. Eleven major flood risk factors were identified, with global climate change, watershed degradation, and poor tributary river management emerging as the most critical. The impacts of flooding include crop failure, inundated fields, disrupted markets, and loss of income. Results indicate that effective mitigation requires a combination of structural solutions—such as riverbank reinforcement and watershed restoration—and non-structural strategies, including early warning systems, spatial planning reforms, sustainable farming practices, and enhanced community participation. The study concludes that an integrated, participatory, and farmer-centered approach is essential to strengthen food system resilience and reduce flood vulnerability in the region.
