Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze food insecurity status of Gubre sub city households’, to identify determinants of food insecurity status of Gubre sub city households. Food insecurity in the analysis was based on household survey data gathered from 142 randomly selected households. Descriptive Statistics, such as percentage and frequency distribution were used.
