Abstract
This study was carried out to find food security level and hunger status of the beneficiary families supported by a NGO working in Dinajpur. It was also undertaken to identify the association between hunger status with selected socio-demographic and economic factors of the farmers’ families. Socio-demographic, economic, food security level and hunger status related data were collected from the 165 estimated sampled families with simple random sampling method by using structured questionnaire. Analyses determined that only 21.2% households were food secured, while 78.8% households were insecure. Among the insecure families about 19.4% households were insecure in food without hunger, 20.6% households were food insecure with moderate hunger and 38.8% families were insecure in food with severe hunger. Overall 59.4% farmers’ families were hunger and rest of them was not hunger (40.6%). But food insecurity level as well as hunger families were more prevalent among the families of landless farmers compared to marginal and small groups. Only 3.6% families give rich foods to the female child. Binary logistic regression analysis found that total land of the family, total family members and monthly family income were the significant contributing factors for determining hunger and not-hunger families.
