In the present study, the association of household livelihood and income inequality with sustainable food security was assessed in the rural areas. We used a cross-sectional data and quantitative analysis to follow the main goal of the study. Data were collected using a questionnaire through face-to-face interviews of a random sample of rural households. Food security status was assessed using HFIAS and FCS indexes, while household welfare was calculated by six indicators. Also, income inequality was measured using Theil, Atkinson, and FGT indexes. This study was implemented in Dowreh Chegeni county in Lorestan province in Iran. The questionnaires were completed by 201 households in the study location. The target sample consists of the households who are living permanently in the rural area. Of the total sample 40.79% were food secure, while about 13.4%, 14.4%, and 31.3% of the sampled households faced marginal, moderate, and severe food insecurity. All welfare indicators showed that degree of income inequality of the households in marginal and moderate categories was greater than other households. The results showed that household welfare is directly and significantly associated with food security. This suggests the wisdom of the government and the related organizations focusing on improving the welfare status of the households using different policies such as providing affordable houses for poor households, preparing long-term loans for the households to purchase their needed assets, and facilitating the purchase of livestock for the rural households to produce their needed foods.

在本研究中，评估了农村地区家庭生计和收入不平等与可持续粮食安全之间的关联。我们使用横断面数据和定量分析来遵循研究的主要目标。数据是通过对农村家庭的随机样本进行面对面访谈而使用问卷收集的。粮食安全状况使用HFIAS和FCS指数进行评估，而家庭福利则由六个指标计算。此外，收入不平等是使用 Theil、Atkinson 和 FGT 指数来衡量的。这项研究在伊朗洛雷斯坦省的 Dowreh Chegeni 县实施。调查问卷由研究地点的 201 户家庭完成。目标样本包括长期居住在农村地区的家庭。在总样本中 40.79% 是食品安全的，而大约 13.4%、14.4% 和 31.3% 的抽样家庭面临边缘、中度和重度粮食不安全。各项福利指标均显示，边缘和中等类别家庭的收入不平等程度大于其他家庭。结果表明，家庭福利与粮食安全直接且显着相关。这表明政府和相关组织的智慧，着眼于改善家庭的福利状况，采取不同的政策，例如为贫困家庭提供经济适用房，为家庭购买所需资产准备长期贷款，以及促进购买。为农村家庭生产所需的食物提供牲畜。和严重的粮食不安全。各项福利指标均显示，边缘和中等类别家庭的收入不平等程度大于其他家庭。结果表明，家庭福利与粮食安全直接且显着相关。这表明政府和相关组织的智慧，着眼于改善家庭的福利状况，采取不同的政策，例如为贫困家庭提供经济适用房，为家庭购买所需资产准备长期贷款，以及促进购买。为农村家庭生产所需的食物提供牲畜。和严重的粮食不安全。各项福利指标均显示，边缘和中等类别家庭的收入不平等程度大于其他家庭。结果表明，家庭福利与粮食安全直接且显着相关。这表明政府和相关组织的智慧，着眼于改善家庭的福利状况，采取不同的政策，例如为贫困家庭提供经济适用房，为家庭购买所需资产准备长期贷款，以及促进购买。为农村家庭生产所需的食物提供牲畜。结果表明，家庭福利与粮食安全直接且显着相关。这表明政府和相关组织的智慧，着眼于改善家庭的福利状况，采取不同的政策，例如为贫困家庭提供经济适用房，为家庭购买所需资产准备长期贷款，以及促进购买。为农村家庭生产所需的食物提供牲畜。结果表明，家庭福利与粮食安全直接且显着相关。这表明政府和相关组织的智慧，着眼于改善家庭的福利状况，采取不同的政策，例如为贫困家庭提供经济适用房，为家庭购买所需资产准备长期贷款，以及促进购买。为农村家庭生产所需的食物提供牲畜。
