Food security is introduced as a global indicator of the welfare level of households worldwide, ‎especially in developing countries. Also, income extracted from the entrepreneur of women in ‎the rural area affects the total income of the household and their access to high-quality foods based on ‎their preferences. In this study, the association ‎between food security and the entrepreneur of women was investigated in the rural area in ‎Khorramabad county in 2019-2020. Data ‎were collected via face-to-face interview and the status of food security was assessed by using ‎Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS). The results showed that about 23.6% of ‎households were food secure while 13.9%, 23.8% and 38.7% of them were marginal, moderate ‎and severe food insecure, respectively. Also, about 79% of households who have an ‎entrepreneural woman faced food insecurity, while about 73.9 of those who don't have faced ‎food insecurity. The results showed that the probability of being food secure in ‎households with a female entrepreneurial member who is activated in agricultural production and ‎handicraft activities was higher than that of conversion and service industries. The results of ‎the logistic regression model showed that some factors including the background of ‎entrepreneurship activity, household income, entrepreneural income, occupation of head of ‎household and personla saving were directly associated with food security. While distance from ‎the central market was inversely associated with food security. So, distributing inexpensive raw ‎materials, providing subsidized inputs, improving job opportunities, holding educational classes, ‎providing low-interest facilities for economic empowerment and stimulating productive activity ‎for entrepreneurial households was suggested.‎
