Average Household Food Insecurity Access Score of the villages were 0.90, 0.92, 0.83 and 1.03, respectively. Twenty-six to thirty per cent of the surveyed households were food insecure. Households were more likely to have three or more children (12%, OR, 2.77), educational level of secondary school or less (48%, OR, 1.29), have income sources mainly from labour wages (30%, OR, 3.92), nuclear family status (30%, OR, 5.19) and be in the low-income category (32%, OR, 4.14) had a higher risk of food insecurity.
