The aim was to determine the possible association between food insecurity and the sociodemographic conditions of families in the rural area of Pueblo Nuevo, Córdoba, Colombia. It was a cross-sectional study using surveys to collect sociodemographic and food insecurity data in a rural area of Pueblo Nuevo, Córdoba, Colombia in which 391 families were surveyed to obtain relevant information. The Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale (ELCSA) survey was applied to evaluate the food security of the families. ⋯ Only 5 families (1%) showed adequate food security (AFS), while 235 families were in the severe food insecurity (SFI) category. Positive correlations were observed between types of food security and educational level (P<0.023), family income (P<0.001), and household size (P=0.002). A high prevalence of food insecurity was evident in the studied families, influenced by household size, lack of income, and low educational levels.
