The paper studies the micro-level food security of the poor people in the rural area of our country systematically. At first, the paper summarizes the theory of micro-level food security, and furthermore analyzes it in detail. Secondly, the paper describes the general situation of the poor people in the rural area of our country and the conditions of their micro-level food security. Thirdly, the paper mainly analyzes the influencing factors of the micro-level food security of the poor people in the rural area of our country. Lastly, the paper puts forward the countermeasures of realizing the micro-level food security of the poor people in the rural area of our country, makes conclusions and the outlook of further research.Through research, the paper gets several important conclusions as follows:1. Since the policy of reform and opening up, the number of poor people in the rural area of our country has decreased rapidly. The standard of living of the rural populations has improved a great deal. But because the rural populations in our country mainly live in the undeveloped mountainous areas, where there is infertile soil, lacking resource, bad natural environment and living or producing conditions. Furthermore, most of the poor populations are the old and weak or those who lose the ability of working. Adding to the instability of the income which is earned by the populations who have got rid of poverty, the phenomenon of returning poverty is serious. So, the task of helping the poor to get rid of poverty is much more arduous.2. The situation f the micro-level food security of the poor people in the rural areas of our country has improved to a degree. However, it is not stable. When the poor people are subject to the surprise attack from the outside, they would plunge into the situation of micro-level food insecurity again. Moreover, because poverty is the main cause that leads to the micro-level food insecurity of the poor people in the rural areas of our country and it needs long-term economic development to enhance the people's ability to get food and improve the approaches to getting foods. Therefore, the micro-level food insecurity of the poor people in the rural areas of our country will exist for a long time.3. The income of the poor people in the rural areas, their capability of producing grain and the situation f the circulation of grain have positive correlation with the poor people's micro-food security. The prices of the grains and the number of the household populations have negative correlation with the poor people's micro-food security. In these influencing factors, the income of the poor people is uppermost. It not only influences the micro-level food security through influencing their purchasing power, but also has close relation with other factors. The regression result of the model also reflects the influencing degree of every factor.According to the influencing factors and their influencing degree, the paper puts forward the measures of realizing the micro-level food security of the poor people in the rural areas of our country. The most important measure is to help the poor people in the rural areas to increase their income, and make them get rid of poverty downright. Furthermore, enhancing their capability of producing grain, improving the situation of the circulation of grain, controlling the number of the household populations and enhancing their quality are of great significance in realizing the micro-level food security of the poor people in the rural areas of our country.
