Abstract
There is strong relationship between food security and the reproductive health of women which informs the current research interest in this area. Women account for more than half of labour force needed to produce food to be consumed in Africa and their health is a factor that must be considered in order to ensure and sustain food security. The four dimensions of food security-food availability, food utiliztion, food accessibility and stability-were discussed. This reproductive health issues are a very central concerns to African women throughout their entire lives. The conceptual framework in fig.1 points to the various variables that will improve the quality of life of women for good healthy living and consequently sustain household food security. The layout of the paper will make for adequate comprehension and guide future research interest.
