Achieving urban food security before and after COVID-19 lockdown among urban households’ in Ghana is key. This paper compares the pre-and post-COVID-19 lockdown food security status of urban dwellers in lockdown cities of the Greater part of Accra in Ghana using the Rasch and ordered logit model. From a sample of 340 respondents, the study found a significant difference in household food security status and predictors of food security. Prior to COVID-19 households were ‘High food secure’ (36.4%), but post-COVID-19 lockdown made more households ‘Very low food secure’ (12.35%). To combat post-COVID-19 lockdown food insecurity in urban agriculture is encouraged
