This research aims to identify the factors influencing food security among households engaged in bean and maize farming in Uganda.
Utilized secondary data from the NARO Impact Evaluation Survey with 1,428 households.
Measured food security using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS).
Employed Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) regression to analyze data.
Conducted post-estimation diagnostics to confirm model robustness.
Higher education levels and larger farm sizes significantly reduce food insecurity intensity.
Widowed or divorced households experience increased food insecurity severity.
Tertiary education and farm size predict structural food security.
The model validated with likelihood ratio tests and diagnostics confirmed appropriateness.
