The aim of this study was to assess contribution of soil and water conservation practices tornhousehold food security in Ensaro Woreda, Amhara National Regional State, Ethiopia. Household based cross-sectional research design and mixed methods of data collection werernemployed in the study. Household survey was conducted on 423 sample households thosernselected from Stratified random sampled kebele. In addition; household food balance model wasrnused to assess household food security status. For analysis descriptive statistics mainly percent, mean, chi-square and cross tabulation were used. Logistic regression analysis was also done tornidentify determinant factors for adoption of soil and water conservation measures and foodrnsecurity. Among implemented technologies all farmers used crop rotation as conservationrnmeasures. Stone bud, compost and stone-faced soil bund were the most implementedrntechnologies on cultivated land which covered 54.0 %, 23.4 % and 20.6% of the technologiesrnrespectively. The research findings revealed that 60.8% of the household were non-adopter andrn39.2% was adopter of SWC technologies. And also 73.3% household was food secured but thernremaining were food in-secured. The distance to market, perception to technology profitabilityrnand SWC training were found significant determinant factors for adoption of SWC technologies. Whereas, family size, total land size, distance to market and adoption of SWC technologies werernthe factors that af ecting household food security status in the study area. As a result, all otherrnfactors held were constant, household who adopt SWC technologies on their cultivated land werern14.8 % (0.148*100) higher probability to food secured than SWC technologies non-adopterrnhouseholds. This indicates that there is significant dif erence between SWC technologiesrnadopters and non-adopters food security status. Therefore, governmental and non-governmentalrnorganization emphases should be given for SWC technologies adoption that is suitable for theirrnagro-ecologies and provide training.
