This research study measures diet quality and economic vulnerability dimensions of food security in farming households of Kashere community of Akko local government area of Gombe State. Well-structured questionnaire was used to source for data from 100 randomly selected farming households. Food Dietary Diversity, Food expenditure share and descriptive statistic were used to analyze the data. The mean age of the farming household was 39 years and most (80%) were married with an average household size of 9 persons. The results obtained revealed that majority 56% belonged to the medium dietary diversity range and 68% of the farming households are not economically vulnerable to food insecurity. The study suggests provision of nutrition education or campaign awareness in the study area to educate farming households.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
