All four food security components availability, accessibility, use, and stability are affected by climate variability, increasing hunger risks in the area. Rainfall shortages or excesses reduce food production, producing food instability and famine. This article examined how climatic variability affects family food security in Asegede Tsembla Woreda, Tigray Regional State. Three home kebeles were chosen using stratified random sampling, whereas 135 respondents out of 5345 households and key respondents were picked using simple random and purposive selection, respectively. Data was collected by observation, interviews, written questionnaires, and FGD. Inferential statistics (one sample t-test) and descriptive statistics (frequency, means, and standard deviation) were used for qualitative data. Data was analysed using chi-square (x2), paired t-test, and multiple regression model. Study found that the precipitation concentration index (25.64) is more than 21 and indicates significant rainfall concentration. One-sample t-test analysis showed that the poorest parts of the globe had greater food intake in Kcal/person/day than the study area. There is also substantial correlation between variability occur in your area in the last 10 years and susceptible to climatic variability X2(1, N=135) = 58.793, P< 0.05). There is a strong positive association between family food security and independent factors (r=+.971, p<0.013).
