مطالعه حاضر به بررسي رابطه بين امنيت غذايي و فقر درآمدي در مناطق روستايي شهرستان املش از توابع استان گيلان پرداخته است. داده‌ها با استفاده از روش نمونه گيري خوشهاي چندمرحله‌اي تصادفي و به كمك تكميل پرسشنامه‌هاي مبتني بر استاندارد امنيت غذايي خانوار از نمونهاي شامل دويست خانوار روستايي بهدست آمد. براي تعيين وضعيت امنيت غذايي خانوارها، از روش استاندارد امنيت غذايي خانوار و براي تعيين فقر ذهني از طيف چندگزينه‌اي ليكرت و همچنين، براي تعيين فقر نسبي از مخارج سرانه خانوار استفاده شد. افزون بر اين، با بهره‌گيري از مدل لاجيت چندگانه و تحليل اثر نهايي، بررسي تأثير فقر درآمدي بر امنيت غذايي خانوارهاي روستايي صورت گرفت. نتايج نشان داد كه فقر ذهني و فقر نسبي داراي رابطه مثبت و معني‌دار با ناامني غذايي خانوارهاي روستايي است. بررسي تحليل اثر نهايي نشان داد كه فقر ذهني بيشترين تأثير را در امنيت غذايي دارد.

This study aimed at examining the relationship between food security and income poverty in rural areas of Amlash County in Guilan province of Iran. Data were collected from 200 rural households in a multistage cluster random sampling method as well as the food security standard questionnaire completed by the households. A household food security standard method was used to determine the food security status of the households. The Likert multi-choice spectrum and household per capita expenditure were also used to determine the mental and relative poverty. In addition, using multiple Logit model and analyzing the marginal effect, the impact of income poverty on food security in the rural households was examined. The results showed that the mental and relative poverty had a positive and significant relation with the food insecurity among the rural households. The analysis of the marginal effect showed that the mental poverty had the greatest impact on the food security. So, to deal with the food insecurity at various levels in the rural community, the poverty reduction in this community should be focused due to its highest priority and effectiveness.
