Ethiopia's economy is based primarily on agriculture, which is approximately employing 85\% of the country's population \hyperref[b1]{[2]} . Ethiopia had nearly 38.5 million hectares of agricultural land in 2020, corresponding to over 34 percent of the country's total land area \hyperref[b2]{[3]} . Ethiopia is one of the most food-insecure countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since 1980, the government had a persistent food shortage. And, it is ranked 104 th out of the 121 nations having enough data to compute the 2022 Global Hunger Index rankings. Ethiopia has a deep sever level of hunger, with a score of 27.6 \hyperref[b3]{[4]} .\par In Ethiopia, 22.6 million people are food insecure due to drought, conflict, and increased in food prices \hyperref[b4]{[5]} . Bodurtha et al. (2011) \hyperref[b5]{[6]} report that 60\% of Ethiopia's rural residents do not have enough acreage to provide enough food for their own families, and 43\% of them live in a landless household. The farm size of Ethiopian households ranges from 0 ha to 10 ha. According to Headey (2014) \hyperref[b6]{[7]} , Ethiopia has an average cropland size of 0.96 hectares per household, with regional variances. The Southern Peoples Regions and Tigray both have 0.49 hectares. The region with the greatest land per family is Oromia (1.15 ha), followed by Amhara (1.09 ha). The country has gone through three main types of land tenure systems. The current system of land tenure was implemented in 1991, the Derg military regime London Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Sciences was in place from 1974 to 1991, and the Imperial government functioned until 1974. Currently, the system of land tenure treats land as a public good. And, the Land policy has not brought the anticipated results and is also not participatory.\par As a result, providing households with land and a guarantee of food security will be one of Ethiopia's most significant challenges in the coming decades.\par The ability of a family to feed itself depends on having access to farmland, which is the bedrock of the livelihoods of many smallholders \hyperref[b7]{[8]} . Most research in Ethiopia didn't explore the long-run dynamic linkages of food security and farm size, and it includes the works of Diriba, 2020 \hyperref[b8]{[9]} ; Gebissa, 2021 \hyperref[b9]{[10]} ; Frankenberger and Coyle, 1993 [11] ; IFPRI, 2020 \hyperref[b11]{[12]} ; Mengistu, 2014 \hyperref[b12]{[13]} ; Teshome, Arega, Mehrete, 2021 \hyperref[b13]{[14]} ; Bodurtha et al., 2011 \hyperref[b5]{[6]} ; Paul and G?th?nji,2017 \hyperref[b14]{[15]} . Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the dynamic linkages of food security and access to land in rural households in Ethiopia over time using the system GMM approach. \section[{II. METHODS AND MATERIAL}]{II. METHODS AND MATERIAL} \section[{Data Source}]{Data Source}\par The ESS survey, which collected information from 3288 households, provided the household parcel-level data used in our study. Ethiopian Socioeconomic Survey (ESS), the first-panel survey with a household questionnaire and comprehensive agricultural data, was conducted by the World Bank \hyperref[b15]{[16]} Living Standards Measurement Study, Integrated Surveys of Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) group, and Ethiopian Central Statistical Agency (CSA) \hyperref[b16]{[17]} . ESS1 stands for the first wave of the ESS, which took place between 2011-2012; the second wave, which took place in 2013-2014; the third wave, which took place in 2015-2016; and the fourth wave, which took place in 2018-2019. Since ESS4 for 2018-19 is a new panel and not a continuation of the ESS3 wave, we did not include it in the study. Finally, the data is organized, coded and estimated using STATA 17. \section[{Estimation Approach}]{Estimation Approach}\par We used the system GMM method as an estimation strategy for the study because it accounts for time-invariant household-specific effects, addresses the endogeneity issue of the lagged dependent variable, permits some degree of endogeneity in the other regressors, and optimally combines information on cross-individual variation in levels with that on within-household variation in changes \hyperref[b17]{[18,}\hyperref[b18]{19]} . Two-step system GMM estimates were also chosen over the one-step estimation because they are robust to heteroskedasticity and panel-specific autocorrelation with Windmeijer correction for limited samples, which helps to remove standard-error biases. Some prerequisites are dealing with data before estimating the long-run GMM coefficients. First, the short-run system GMM has to be calculated along with post-diagnosis tests (instrument validity test, serial correlation tests, and robustness check). The GMM estimate, a new estimator that combines the regression-in-differences with the regression-in-levels in a system, has obtained considerable traction in the empirical literature employed for this study. The two models (at "level", "first-difference") are specified as follows in light of this introspection: \section[{Log-ann-food-cons-peraeq ilt =? ? +?log-food-cons-ann-peraeq il, t-1 +?log-Farmsize}]{Log-ann-food-cons-peraeq ilt =? ? +?log-food-cons-ann-peraeq il, t-1 +?log-Farmsize}??? + + ? ??t ; ?=1 ? ? µ????? j=1??k; i=1?n; t=1?, T + ? ??t ; i=1?, n; t=1?, T Î?"log-ann-food-cons-peraeq ilt =?Î?"log-food-cons-ann-peraeq il,t-1 +?Î?"log-Farmsize ??? + + Î?" u it ?=1 ? ? µ?Î?"????\textbf{(2)}\par Where log-ann-food-cons-peraeq ilt denotes food security and for household i for location l over period t; log\textunderscore food\textunderscore cons\textunderscore ann\textunderscore peraeq il,t-1 entails the lagged dependent variable's value for household i in location l over period t; log-Farmsize ??? denotes logarithm of HHs total London Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Sciences 48© 2023 Great ] Britain Journals Press | 8 | Volume 23 Issue ?"?

For the disturbance-term, the following householdspecific fixed effect is assumed:??? t = ??+ u it .\par Secondly, the long-run effect for the k th parameter is computed as follows:? k / [1-?]\textbf{(3)}\par Where ? k represents the short-run coefficients of the independent variables and ? represents the coefficient of one period-lagged value of the dependent variable.\par Finally, year dummies control for time variations of the dependent variable across the panels is also estimated. Therefore, the year dummies are computed as:[e ? -1] X 100\textbf{(4)}\par Where ? represents the year dummies coefficients, and e represents the exponent (i.e., the base or the anti-log) of the natural-logs. This is always used when the dependent variable is expressed in natural logarithms, and the explanatory variable is a dummy (1/0) measure. \section[{III. RESULT AND DISCUSSION}]{III. RESULT AND DISCUSSION} \section[{'Generating' Long Run GMM Coefficients}]{'Generating' Long Run GMM Coefficients}\par This section briefly discusses the long-run estimates. The results of system GMM estimates (Annex-I) are Computed. The results are further validated using different diagnostic tests, which include serial correlation and "Sargan / Hansen" tests (Annex-II). the result further confirmed the authenticity of the estimated model and the instrumental variables, respectively. Robustness of the GMM results was checked from the pooled OLS (Anex-III), the fixed effect (Annex-IV), and the difference GMM (Annex-V) model results.\par Hence, the findings are robust when applied to too many different model specifications and instrument sets. Given the usual ceteris paribus assumption, the system-GMM coefficients are short-run coefficients. If the System-GMM result is significant it is also possible to compute the long-run GMM coefficients. The system GMM test in Annex-I shows that, all the coefficients at 5 \% were found significant. The long-run GMM coefficients could be generated only for the significant short-run coefficients. Thus, Table {\ref 1} below gives the long-run effect for the k th parameter.\par Table {\ref 1}: Long-run GMM coefficients of the significant system GMM coefficients We were looking closely the STATA outputs of the long-run coefficients. First, we observed that, we had found Z-statistics instead of t statistic but it doesn't loss the interpretation. The estimated long-run coefficients or the test output of the long-run GMM model in Table {\ref 1} simply shows that, a percentage change in adult equivalence, one year-lagged of annual food consumption per adult equivalence, number of household parcel, households distance to main road (Kms), heads age, households distance from the market center (Kms) and female-headed households leads to about 1.315\%, 0.576\%, 0.144\%, 0.032\%, 0.131\%, 0.123\%, 0.377\% decrease in annual food consumption per adult equivalence or food security level of household in the long run at 1\% significance level, respectively. It also shows that, a percentage change in total farm size of families (acre), tropical livestock units, and heads completed primary education leads to about 0.076\%, 0.521\%, 0.177\% increase in annual food consumption per adult equivalence (food security level of a household) in the long-run, at 1\% significance level. Adult equivalence and annual food consumption per adult equivalence exhibit an elastic relationship, and the other independent variables were found to have an inelastic relationship with the dependent variable. Household's Farm size (acre), tropical livestock unit, and household head completed primary education has a more significant positive effect on annual food consumption per adult equivalence in the short-run (0.179\%, 1.23\%, 0.419\%) than in the long-run (0.076\%, 0.521\%, 0.177\%) respectively. \section[{"Plotting" Year Dummies in System GMM}]{"Plotting" Year Dummies in System GMM}\par Year dummies control for time variations of the dependent variable across the panels is also computed using the general formula. This is used when the dependent variable is expressed in natural logarithms, and the explanatory variable is a dummy (1/0) measure. Therefore, the 2016 (y\textunderscore 3) from the system GMM output is computed as follows:\par [e 0.2613757 -1] X100= 29.87\%\par As a result, in Ethiopia's rural and small-town areas, the average yearly food intake per adult equivalence in 2016 was 29.87\% greater than the average in 2014, ceteris paribus. The 'computation result' that was previously displayed is supported by Figure {\ref 1} which also depicts the trend of food consumption over time. \section[{London}]{London} \section[{IV. CONCLUSION}]{IV. CONCLUSION}\par We concluded that farm size, measured in acres, had a significant and favorable impact on food security both in the short-run and long-run. And, there is an inelastic relationship between farmland availability and long-term food security level of families. Since there is an inelastic relationship between farmland and food security, the data strengthens the argument that farmers' productivity is harmed by public land ownership. As farmers seek to raise food for their families, this causes serious issues. To grant farmers their land rights, land policy should be centered on households' access to land.
