The study aimed at examining the food insecurity trends and coping strategy of households in the Savelugu-Nanton Municipality of the northern region of Ghana. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey. The samples size was 300 household heads who responded to a semi-structured interview guide. Data were collected on the bio-characteristics of the household head, farm characteristics such as farm size, labor, crops grown, harvesting, consumption, ad infinitum. Other areas of data collection cover the duration of food storage. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to analyze the data. Bivariate test, frequency, and percentage were estimated from the data collected. The findings of the study show that there is a rise in food insecurity from April to June among the majority of households between 2013 and 2016 farming season leading to a reduction in food consumption (80%) and increase in rural-urban migration (91%). It is recommended that the Government of Ghana should tackle the menace of climate change through policy formulation and make the provision of dugout or dams available to communities to engage in all year-round agricultural activities.
