In this regard, the required data were obtained by stratified random sampling from 105 farmer households in the region. Coping Strategy Index was used to measure the food security status of households. Also, to determine agricultural sustainability, an aggregated index based on economic, social, and environmental pillars was used using Analytical Hierarchy process method. Pearson's correlation coefficient was emplyed to investigate the relationship between sustainability and food insecurity. Based on the results, gross profit margin from the economic aspect, empathy from the social aspect, and pesticides from the environmental aspect had the greatest impact on agricultural sustainability. Furthermore, 57% of farmer households in the rural areas of Amol County suffered from food insecurity. 39% had moderate food insecurity, and only 4% enjoyed food security. In addition, respondents use different levels of coping strategies to deal with food insecurity.
