Food is essential to be alive, no one can pretend when a natural disaster will sweep out all crop area, which perhaps by flood, drought and other irregularities in weather leads to loss of production, therefore, food is necessary to feed the population during these conditions. The present study was conducted in two districts of Rohtak division and data were collected in September, 2016–April, 2017. Two districts viz. Sonipat and Karnal were selected randomly and by selecting one block from each selected district and two villages from each of the selected blocks at random. From the selected four villages a sample of 300 respondents, i.e. 75 small and marginal farm families from each village was drawn at random to assess the status of food and nutrition security of small and marginal farm families. From 300 (150, i.e. small-87, marginal-63 from Sonipat district and 150, i.e. small-116, marginal-34 from Karnal district) were selected randomly. Results of the study revealed that 69.7per cent of farm families had food mainly from their own farm production, majority (67.0%) of farm families never faced any food scarcity. Regarding nutrition security, cereals and milk and milk products consumed on daily basis in both the districts and majority (81.3%) of children and more than half (56.0%) of women had normal body mass index.

粮食是维持生计所必需的，没有人能假装自然灾害席卷整个农作物面积，这可能是由于洪水，干旱和其他天气不正常状况导致生产损失，因此，在此期间粮食是养活人口的必要条件条件。本研究在Rohtak分区的两个地区进行，数据于2016年9月至2017年4月收集。随机选择Sonipat和Karnal，并从每个选定的地区中随机选择一个街区，并从每个选定的地区中随机选择两个村庄。从选定的四个村庄中抽取了300名受访者的样本，即每个村庄的75个小规模和边缘农业家庭，以评估小规模和边缘农业家庭的粮食和营养安全状况。从300（150，即小87）开始，随机选择了Sonipat区的63个边缘区和Karnal区的150个边缘区（即116个边缘区，34个边缘区）。研究结果显示，有69.7％的农户家庭主要通过自己的农产品生产食物，大多数（67.0％）的农户从未面临任何粮食短缺。在营养安全方面，各地区每天食用谷物，牛奶和奶制品，大多数儿童（81.3％）和一半以上（56.0％）的妇女体重指数正常。
