 note = {The paper examines determinants that influence resilience to food security using a survey of 140 rural farm households in the Peanut Belt of Senegal. I analysed the data using principal component analysis and regression model. The results show income diversification, targeted relief, the number of people employed in the family, organic fertiliser and age of household head which affect resilience. Income diversification provides farmers new sources of revenues. Facing land degradation and the decrease in yields, a shift to organic fertiliser (manure and compost) as agricultural technology and practice helped farmers spend less money on farm materials and soil revitalisation. Targeted aid from the local nongovernmental organisation and partners provided care and food to vulnerable households. Considering the feebleness of farm production in the Peanut Belt, an increase of off-farm active household members improves resilience. Households that solely rely on agricultural production to survive face severe risks of food insecurity. Besides, homes with aged household head face with food insecurity. Elderly family heads struggle to keep up with farms and need more labour force. My findings also suggest the village Keur Bamba holds the highest resilience index and female household heads have higher resilience index than male-led households.},
