Food security in developing countries is of utmost importance. The objectives of the study are to study the socio-economic characteristics of farming households in the study area and to assess the factors that determine households’ food security in the study area. Data were collected on four main dimensions are namely food availability, food access, food utilization, and food stability and households’ food consumption situation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and frequency analysis. A total of 200 farming households from Twantay Township selected as a sample by using a simple random sampling method. According to findings, the agriculture is the main occupation of the households. Only a small percentage of households run small or home enterprises; most operate side businesses like raising livestock business. The majority of households with working members are in the farming and livestock together. Food security is possible and sustainable where livelihoods are stable. Farmers' households struggle to continually have adequate food and nourishment due to the issues influencing food security, which is unsustainable for their future livelihoods. Food can be self-produced at home or bought from nearby markets. Crops must be grown in order to produce food, which requires water resources. Out of the four factors, food accessibility had the highest mean score. Food accessibility comes in second. For food stability, the mean score is the second-lowest. The study recommended that Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation needs to support sustainable increase in rice production primarily through productivity-driven growth to reduce per unit cost of production and help obtain price stabilization. Finally, the government must assist food and agriculture through a number of measures, including financial subsidies to farmers and consumers, market and trade interventions including customs checks and price control, and general support for agricultural cultivation. The government should promulgate policy which will affect the food environment, the availability of healthy diets, and their cost, have an effect on all stakeholders. |
