Abstract: Food security exists when all people, at all time, have physical and economic access to sufficient and nutritious food. The study aims at developing a conceptual model on determinants influencing the household food security in India. Theoretical model approach and systematic investigation of the available literature was undertaken, to identify various determinants affecting the household food security (HFS). The results inferred that factors viz., age of the household, gender, education, employment, household members' income, social status, nutritional knowledge, land ownership, assets, inflation, land production, livestock are important factors for determining HFS. A deceptive restraint of the study was the non-existence of the contributions based on empirical data. Future research should empirically validate the conceptual framework and examine the mediating and moderating effects of antecedents on the relationship between HFS and various determinants.
