The study looks analysis of food security status in Jimma Rare District, Horo Guduru Wollega, Oromia Regional state, Western Ethiopia. As the basic objective, the study identified major economic and social factors influencing food security in the study area. Systematic sample selection method was used to select 320 sample households. The necessary data were collected using HH survey and key informant discussion and analyzed using descriptive and logistic regression model. Accordingly, the finding of the study shows 45.9% of rural HHs were food secure and 54.1% were food insecure. Natural and socio-economic factor for rural households to be food insecure were identified. Working with collaboration of farmers at the grass root level will realize the confidence of HH food security status. Also proper attention has to be given to mitigate the rapidly growing population, illegal urbanization, increasing farmers’ perception on agricultural input to increase productivity.
