Abstract
There are different approaches for measuring the food security situation which one of them is estimation of coping strategy index (CSI). In this study, the level of food security of 267 rural households of Gorgan was investigated using the Food Security Strategy Index. In addition, factors affecting food security determined with using a logit model. Values of CSI shows that 17.60% of households are in food security condition and rest of them experiencing different level of food insecurity. Results of K Mean test indicate that 3.75% of households are in light food insecurity condition, 52.80% are in average food insecurity condition and 25.85% are in acute food security condition. Results of logit model showed that annual income, employment condition and age of household head have a negative impact and number of children has a positive impact on level of food insecurity. Therefore, improving the income and employment of households will have important and significant effects on the improvement of food security, and the emphasis and attention of the authorities on this economic factor can be very useful.
