| Nowadays, food security is one of the most important concerns of different societies. This concern has especially important in rural areas which are themselves producers of food products.

Necessary data were collected by a sample of 380 households who were selected based on Krejcie and Morgan's Table. Data analysis was performed in descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS18. The results indicated that more than 60% of households have food insecurity.

Based on the results of hierarchical regression, among the economic factors, the variables such as irrigated land, savings, and number of livestock, among the social factors, variables such as spouse literacy, number of children, dependency burden, and geographical factors, variables such as distance from agricultural sales center, sales through intermediaries and investment of urban people in the rural areas have a positive and significant effect on improving food security. | ||
