Achieving food security, especially at household level, is very fundamental for every country in the world especially African countries. It is to this end that this study set out to identify the factors determining food insecurity among households in Gombe metropolis, Gombe State of Nigeria. The household data used in this study were collected through administration of questionnaire. We used descriptive statistics and logistic regression technique to analyse the data. Although a total of 400 copies of questionnaire were administered to the respondents but 381 questionnaires were filled and returned. The descriptive analysis showed about 40 percentage of the respondents was food insecure. The logit regression results suggest that household size and income were the significant predictors of household insecurity in the area. As expected, household size positively determines the probability for household to be food insecure whereas income negatively affects the probability. Therefore, the study recommends among others include; government should create more job opportunities that will enhance the income level of people in order to reduce the magnitude of food insecurity. Secondly, government should, if possible, introduce and advocates for the importance of the family planning in order to curtail the population size.

Özellikle hane düzeyinde gıda güvenliğinin sağlanması, başta Afrika ülkeleri olmak üzere dünyadaki her ülke için çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Nijerya'nın Gombe Eyaleti, Gombe metropolünde haneler arasında gıda güvensizliğini belirleyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yola çıkılmıştır. Bu çalışmada kullanılan hane verileri anket uygulaması yoluyla toplanmıştır. Verileri analiz etmek için tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve lojistik regresyon tekniği kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılara gönderilen 400 anketten 381’i doldurulmuş ve geri dönmüştür. Tanımlayıcı analiz, katılımcıların yaklaşık yüzde 40'ının gıda konusunda güvensiz olduğunu gösterdi. Lojistik regresyon sonuçları, hanehalkı büyüklüğü ve gelirinin bölgedeki hanehalkı güvensizliğinin önemli yordayıcıları olduğunu göstermektedir. Beklendiği gibi, hane büyüklüğü hane halkının gıda güvencesiz olma olasılığını pozitif olarak belirlerken, gelir olasılığı olumsuz yönde etkiler. Bu nedenle, çalışma diğerleri arasında şunları önermektedir; Hükümet, gıda güvensizliğinin boyutunu azaltmak için insanların gelir düzeyini artıracak daha fazla iş fırsatı yaratmalıdır. İkinci olarak, hükümet, mümkünse, nüfus büyüklüğünü azaltmak için aile planlamasının önemini tanıtmalı ve savunmalıdır.
