Abstract
Food security as one of the key factors in rural development should always be considered by governments. Considering the importance of food security in the landscape development document of 1404, the present study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting the food insecurity of farmer households in the rural areas of Amol County. For this purpose, the data was obtained by completing a questionnaire and face-to-face interviews with 105 farmers in rural areas using stratified random sampling in the crop year 2019-1400. A coping strategy index was used to calculate food insecurity. Regression analysis was also used to investigate factors affecting insecurity. The average, minimum, and maximum coping strategy index is 35.9 (89.9 percent), 23, and 40, respectively, which indicates the poor food security situation in the region. In addition, the variables of personal ownership of agricultural land and vehicles, cooperation with other farmers, reverse migration, the number of machines entering the farm, and biological control have a negative and significant effect and the area of land has a positive and significant effect on food insecurity. Actually, with ownership of agricultural land and personal vehicles, food insecurity decreases by 20.02 units and 12.78 units, respectively. In addition, in the case of cooperation with other farmers and migration from city to village, food insecurity decreases by 26% and 7.53 units, respectively. Also, by increasing the number of times using machines and carrying out biological control, food insecurity increases by 8.65 units and 43.85 units, respectively. Based on this, by creating more facilities in the village to meet the needs of rural households and reducing the cost of commuting from the city to the village, it is possible to improve the food security level of the households. Also, the cooperation of cooperatives with farmers will reduce costs such as buying seeds, fertilizers, and fertilizers, and as a result, the level of food insecurity in households will decrease. Considering the positive effect of biological control on food insecurity, measures should be taken to Offer organic products at a higher price to prevent a decrease in farmers' income.
