摘要
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between agricultural productivity and food security of households in Brazilians metropolitan regions, considering others individuals' factors. We found that there are significant relationships between the level of education of the household head, the presence of persons under 18 in the family and the fact that per capita income household earning is less than minimum wage and food security. Productivity gains are indeed associated with greater household food security, but in low proportions, due to high influence of particular characteristics, such as education and income.
