Rural household’s food security mediations can be viably actualized through in-depth Analysis of food security status and its determinants. Food insecurity frailty is basically more broad and serious in rural areas than in urban ones. This study was conducted to analyze the determinants of household food security in Pawe woreda. This study followed two-stage sampling procedure to draw samples representing rural households. The total of 330 households were randomly selected from four rural Kebeles. The study employed survey questionnaire, Focus group Discussion (FGD) and Key Informant Interview (KII) data collection methods. Descriptive statistics were used. Accordingly, the percentages of food security status of all respondents in the study area were found to be 26.36%, 32.12% and 41.52% were low, medium and high dietary diversity score, respectively. In econometric analysis we employed ordered probit model. Accordingly, education level of household head and farm experience, utilization of credit, tropical livestock, market information and access to training showed a significant and positive effect on food security. Whereas distance from the nearest market have a negative and significant effect on food security. The results suggest that the concerned bodies give emphasis, strengthening education and skill training centers to farming households and agricultural marketing and infrastructures that enhance off farm activities in sustainable manner need to be designed to increase food security in the study area.
