abstract = "The objective of the study was to review the concept and theoretical outlook of food security, the food security situation and major cause of food insecurity in Ethiopia. This paper was based on reviewing secondary data from different scientific literatures. The literatures used were collected from scientific findings and journal articles through internet. The review indicates that Ethiopia is chronically and seasonally food insecure country. Nearly 33 million people are suffering from chronic undernourishment and food insecurity. Different studies indicated that the status, depth and severity of food insecurity in Ethiopia are dynamic. The problem is compounded by drought, population pressure, backward agriculture, land degradation, poor infrastructure facility and low level of off-farm/non-farm activities. Therefore, future policies, investment strategies as well as different actions directed towards improving food security situation in Ethiopia should focus on enhancing household heads and members to engage in different income generating activities, improving farmers’ access and use of agricultural technologies, encouraging the farmers to develop and adopt soil and water conservation measures, improving households’ access to financial and social capital, and awareness creation on family planning",
