This study examined the impact of COVID-19 on food security across the rural-urban interface of Bangalore. The primary data for the study was collected from 482 households through telephonic survey. The Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) approach was used to estimate the prevalence of food insecurity. The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 70 per cent of the households were food secure across rural, transition, and urban gradients of the north and south transect of Bangalore, while the percentage of food insecurity ranges from 7 to 30 per cent. Variables associated with food security status in the rural-urban interface of Bangalore were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression. The results revealed that COVID-19 had positive influence on food insecurity status. The adverse effect of COVID-19 pandemic contributed to a rise in food insecurity, low dietary consumption, and malnutrition. Thus, study highlighted the need for further investment in targeted social protection strategies and safety nets as part of multi-sectoral solutions to improve household food security during such pandemic periods.
