This income shock potentially reduces the household quantity and quality of food consumption. This study aims to estimate the impact of the income shock caused by the Covid-19 pandemic on household food consumption in rural and urban area of Bogor. The research design used a quantitative descriptive study with the Susenas 2017 as the basic data. The simulation starts by including an income on the regression equation model with household food consumption. The results showeda decline in the categories of energy and protein adequacy percentage, especially in low-income households after being simulated with an income shock of -10%, -20%, and -30%. Low-income households also found some strategic foods are elastic or luxurious such as corn, chicken, beef, and milk, which encounter a significant decrease in consumption.
