The food and nutrition security situation was investigated in the former West Kordofan State, in Al Nuhud and six surrounding villages as examples of urban and rural areas. The study included 100 urban and 120 rural households using the cluster sampling covering 1389 individuals. A questionnaire was used to collect information on socioeconomic status, food intake and nutritional status of all households\\\\\\\' residents .Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS and EPI-INFO computer program. Incomes of 300 SDG of which 81.4% were urbans. 76.8% of the households earned 10 years old, C.E.D. prevalence was 46.4%, 18.0 severely. C.E.D. was very high (85.7%) among the adolescent 10-<18 group especially severe cases (58.1%). It was more prevalent in rural compared to urban households (P=0.017), among males than females (P=0.017) and among rural than urban females (P=0.027). In the income-generating category (18-60 years old) under nutrition was 33.3% with 6.5% severe cases. It was higher in rural than urban households (P=0.000), slightly higher but not significant in females compared to males (P=0.526) and also higher among rural males (P=0.000) and females (P=0.000) compared to urban ones. The association between the selected socioeconomic parameters and the nutritional status was investigated. Monthly income had an inverse relationship (P=0.000), food expenditure (P=0.001/0.004) and number of meals/day (P=0.007/0.006) a direct relationship. However, household size relationship was only significant in rural areas (P=0.018). Recommendations for possible implementations are suggested to the authorities for improving the food and nutrition security in North Kordofan State
