[en] The current paper analyses the contribution of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) to households’ food security bordering the complex Pô-Nazinga-Sissili, a protected area in south Burkina Faso. Using primary data from a sample of 263 randomly selected households, two food security indicators, the Household Dietary Diversity Score and the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale, were calculated. Binary logistic regression and ordered multinomial logistic regression of these respective indicators on the socioeconomic characteristics of households, with a particular focus on economic dependence on NTFPs, have shown that NTFPs are means to improve household food security. It would be more appropriate for NTFPs to be deeply incorporated into public food security policies, especially in rural areas.
