    Household food insecurity remains a critical development challenge particularly in-low and middle income countries where livelihoods are vulnerable to economic and environmental shocks.

Food insecurity can be identified in various suspects and is a pervasive global issue impacting individuals which can be characterized by limited nutritious food in the household. Using household level survey data and applying econometric characteristics the analysis assess how different forms of remittances influence food access, consumption patterns and copying strategies. The paper used secondary data from the central statistics agency (Ethiopia Socio economic Survey) and analyzed to identify food insecurity around the zones and woredas of the region. The findings indicate that both food and cash remittances significantly contribute to reducing household food insecurity, though their effects vary in magnitude and mechanism. Therefore, the findings highlight a significant disparity and show ways of minimizing the food insecurity across the region. It also highlights the importance of migration linked support system and suggests that policies facilitating safe migration and efficient remittances channels can enhance household resilience In line to this, I insights contribute to a deeper understanding of how remittance flows serve as informal social protection in food insecure settings.
