INTRODUCTION Food security recently applied to community, local,
household & individual level (Foster 1992).
Necessity to include nutrition into food security evolved over time (Quisumbing 1995) .
Food insecurity, malnutrition and vulnerability remain high in Ethiopia (WB 2014): 29 % absolute poor, 44 % suffer from chronic malnutrition, and 43 % vulnerable to absolute poverty.

CONT. Causes of food insecurity in Ethiopia?
poverty;weak institutions (market and land tenure); land degradation; insufficient landholding; low productivity rain fed agriculture; low off farm opportunities; population pressure; low literacy.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Previous food security studies focus on process indicators.
Studies on the nutritional status of children in PSNP woredas are not easily available
Attention to investigate the status of the linkage between food
security program (PSNP) and nutrition is not adequate .
Hence the main gap is to assess food security status of PSNP households using both process and outcome indicator: prevalence of food insecurity (access)prevalence of stunting (chronic malnutrition)

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
General Objective to assess the food security status of the PSNP beneficiary
households in Libokemkem district.
Specific Objectivemeasurement of prevalence of household food insecurity
(access);measurement of prevalence of stunting (chronic malnutrition);determinants of food insecurity; identify household coping strategies.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS
What does the PSNP beneficiary household food security (access to food) status look like in the study area?
What does the chronic malnutrition (stunting) rate of children under five look like in the area?
What are the factors affecting food security situation in the area? What are the main coping strategies in food shortage situation?

HYPOTHESES
Household food security status has a positive correlation with :-
use of chemical fertilizer, market distance, annual income, plough oxen, TLU,size of cultivated land, andsize of irrigated land;
while it is negatively associated with family size .

well as maximum likelihood estimate of logit model).
Qualitative data analysis narrated to substantiate quantitative findings;
qualitative data was reduced according to similar patterns of characteristics: major sources of food; households’ coping strategies; reasons to sell most of agricultural products...

CONCLUSION The farming systems is constrained by:
demographic, biophysical, socioeconomic , and technological factors
Lack of sources of employment opportunities other than on-farm activities was found one of the challenges;
The majority of study households are food insecure; &
The prevalence of chronic malnutrition is also higher.
