المستخلص: This study was carried out to identify the determinants of food security in some rural households in Katsina State. Primary data was used for the study which was collected from two communities each in the six local government areas of the state totaling three hundred and sixty rural farming households. Oral questionnaire were administered through random sampling and personal observation as well as interview which is purposive. Ordered probit model method was used as a tool of analysis. The data were analyzed using ordered probit model to ascertain food insecurity status of households. The results of analysis indicated that 25 variables were used in the study and 14 of them were significant. These are in three categories as highly significant, significant and mild respectively .Produce with a p-value of 0.003 (99,7%), extension worker with a p-value of 0.004(99.6%) and also household consumption with a p-value 0.009(99%) are highly significant. However, household size also with a p-value of 0.016(98.4%), marketing board with a p-value of 0.022(97.8%), fertiliser also with a p-value of 0.031(96.9%), assets with a p-value of 0.038(96.2%), marital status with a p-value of 0.039(96.1%), land characteristics has a p-value of 0.045(95.5%), planting rain has also a p-value of 0.047(95.3%) are equally significant.. Based on the results, the study recommended that all government programmes should be community oriented; household should be properly educated as a means of raising their productivity, efficiency as well as improving their nutritional awareness. Access to loan/credit facilities should be strengthened, underground water should be explored and exploited; virgin land should also be explored and allocated while also strategic food silos be constructed as well as provision of infrastructures.
