The objective of this research was to indicated community food security indicators based on the culture and community relationship. Twelve communities of Mae Taeng district, Chiang Mai province were categorized to four ecological zones; (1) Upland communities in the forest conservation area, (2) Upland communities outside the forest conservation area, (3) Lowland communities outside irrigation area and (4) Lowland communities in irrigation area. The results showed that significant indicators (p < 0.01) were related to community food security (CFS) as follows; soil resource, land use, community cooperative, the cultural features of food production and consuming, cultural features of the natural resource management. According to the relationship between the cultural strengthen and community relation, the results revealed that three significant indicators were community collaborating to forest conservation and water management, soil conservation and the inheritance of food production culture. Furthermore, the results from sixty communities were evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis found that measurement model of indicators and observed variables were high goodness of fit. The model of natural resource management strengthen were seven observed variables as follows; (1) collaboration of forest conservation (2) collaboration of water allocation (3) collaboration of water reservation (4) collaboration of aquatic animals conservation (5) use of fertilizer (6) use of green manure and (7) mulching. And the goodness fit statistics were 2= 19.88, df = 11, p = 0.051, Root Mean Square Error of Approximate (RMSEA) = 0.036, Adjusted Goodness of Fit (AGFI) = 0.976. Similarly, the model of food production and consuming strengthen were four observed variables as follows; (1) inherited wisdom of planting (2) inherited wisdom of harvesting (3) inherited wisdom of cooking and types of food consuming (4) inherited wisdom of food preserving. The goodness fit statistics of this model were 2 = 3.41, df = 2, p = 0.182, RMSEA = 0.034, AGFI = 0.986. In addition, the Pearson’s chi-square correlations showed that almost the observed variables were significantly (p < 0.05) related to CFS situations. But the communities at the upland outside the forest conservation zone exhibited that the collaboration for forest conservation with non significant (2 = 6.51, p = 0.164). Then, by better collaborating of natural resource management and good inherited wisdom of food production were more effected to CFS situation for the lowland communities than the upland communities. With high cultural strengthen found that lowland communities have a good food security with an average 49.35%, whereas the upland communities were 17.35%.
