Although food is one of the basic necessities of life, food insecurity remains a major problem in Nigeria. This paper analyzes the factors influencing food security among rural households in Ogun State, Nigeria. Data were collected with multi-stage sampling procedure and analyzed with descriptive statistics and Probit regression model. The results show that mean age and household size of the respondents were 43years (std dev = 13.31) and 5 (std dev = 3.28) respectively. The mean per capita household expenditure per day was N113.57. Using two-third mean per capita expenditure as food security line, 70.1 percent of the households were food secure, while 36.7 percent were food secure with dollar per day per person food security line. Factors that contributed to food security status of the households at two-third mean per capita household expenditure and a dollar per day were dependency ratio, marital status, age, and income. It was recommended that in order to increase food security, rural dwellers should be encouraged to diversify their income sources, among others.

Chociaż jedzenie stanowi jedną z podstawowych potrzeb życiowych, brak bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego pozostaje poważnym problemem dla mieszkańców Nigerii. W niniejszym opracowaniu przeanalizowano czynniki oddziałujące na bezpieczeństwo żywnościowe gospodarstw wiejskich w nigeryjskim stanie Ogun. Dane zebrano w ramach wieloetapowej procedury pobierania próbek, a następnie przeanalizowano za pomocą metod statystyki opisowej i modelu regresji probitowej. Jak pokazują wyniki, średnia wieku respondentów wyniosła 43 lata (odchylenie standardowe = 13,31) przy średniej liczbie 5 osób (odchylenie standardowe = 3,28) wchodzących w skład gospodarstwa domowego. Średnie wydatki dzienne gospodarstwa domowego w przeliczeniu na osobę kształtowały się na poziomie 113,57 NGN. Jeśli przyjąć, że granica bezpieczeństwa żywno- ściowego odpowiada dwóm trzecim średnich wydatków dziennych w przeliczeniu na osobę, to 70,1% gospodarstw domowych miało zapewnione bezpieczeństwo żywnościowe. Natomiast przy założeniu, że granica ta przypada na kwotę jednego dolara dziennie na osobę odsetek bezpiecznych żywnościowo gospodarstw wyniósł 36,7%. Na bezpieczeństwo żywnościowe gospodarstw przy granicy przebiegającej na poziomie dwóch trzecich średnich wydatków na osobę lub na poziomie jednego dolara dziennie oddziaływały następujące czynniki: wskaźnik zależności, stan cywilny, wiek i dochód. Zaleca się, aby w celu poprawy bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego zachęcać mieszkańców obszarów wiejskich m.in. do dywersyfikacji źródeł dochodu.
