The purpose of this study is to understand status of food security and its influencing factors such as poverty, occupation, education and natural hazards. The data were collected from Sarankhola Upazila at Bagerhat district, Bangladesh through direct observation and questionnaire survey on food security status. More emphasis was given on knowledge of food security, dietary diversity, yearly statistics of food security and their copping strategy. The result reveals that people of the area face serious food insecurity in different categories, more so on qualitative food security. About 91% people are qualitatively food insecure. Low dietary diversity in foods causes this situation worse. Occupations with high wages, education, own food production have positive influence to achieve food security. Conversely, poverty, illiteracy, little self production make people vulnerable to food security in study area. Due to increase of one crop land year after year, only 7% people get support from their main food production through a year. Low education level households have less food security; 72% people never heard of balanced diet. Most households claimed that salinity (49%) is the main cause of low food productions and money (60.6%) is the main problem to purchase food. Cyclone and salinity is the main natural disruption in food access or production. Women face more food insecurity due to cultural factor. People mostly tried to cope with food insecurity from family or neighbor’s help. This study concludes that poverty, socioeconomic situation and coastal specific featured-natural hazards make the area worst in food security.
