Abstract: This research examined the effect of landownership by women on household food security in Benin. This research aims also to determine factors that influence women ownership of land in Benin. The data used comes from the Global Analysis of Vulnerability and Food Security survey (AGVSA, 2017), endogenous switching regression is used. The results estimated reveal a positive and significant effect of women's landownership on household food security. The results reveal also that the factors that significantly and positively influence women land ownership are age, level of education (none), household size, agricultural empowerment index, access to credit and status of dwelling place (family property). The results point to the very important role of landownership by women in solving food insecurity in rural Benin.
