Abstract	Food security and livelihood sustainability are critical issues for tribal communities in Kandhamal, Odisha, where geographical and socio-economic factors pose significant challenges. This study explores the intricate relationship between food security and livelihood practices among these communities. It examines how traditional agricultural practices, market access, and climatic variations impact their ability to secure sufficient, nutritious food. The research highlights the role of government interventions and non governmental organizations in addressing these challenges and improving the socio-economic conditions of tribal populations. Findings reveal that while traditional knowledge and community support systems play a crucial role, there is a pressing need for integrated policies that enhance agricultural productivity, market accessibility, and resilience to climate change. This study aims to provide insights into sustainable development strategies that can improve food security and livelihood outcomes for the tribal communities in Kandhamal.
