Food security has been an important issue in Nepal. Food security is a complex outcome of many socioeconomic and environmental factors. The complexities of food security issue increases at the micro level. Therefore, analyzing food security at the macro level ignores many complex factors that are important for food security for particular place or households. Realizing this fact, this study analyzes the food security situation at the household level. Additionally, this study also examines the relationship between the district food sufficiency and household food security. The study concludes that some households are not being able to secure food even if they are in the food sufficient location due to many socioeconomic factors.
