In this study, we analyzed the effect of the implementation of targeted subsidies program on food security in Iran during 2005-2012. A model of food security was estimated after calculating the adult’s energy intake through household’s consumption information.

The results of these changes are the increased cost of living and decreased share of income spent on food. http://ijer.atu.ac.ir/article_7236_9f54c16465f6050a772e099031013234.pdffood security subsidy reform program iran
