Prioritized problem: Malnutrition among women of reproductive age increases the risk of mortality during labor and delivery which further leads to their

newly born children at risk of long term deficiencies. Improving nutritional status, including micronutrient status, can lead to

increased productivity, increases child survival and growth.This reduces mental morbidity and mortality. To overcome this problem,

Kitchen garden is considered to be the best possible solution.

Source of Technology: TNAU 2012

Description Food and nutritional security is the key areas in developing country need to be addressed should address. For poor households,

vegetables and fruits are often the only sources of micronutrients in the family diet. Establishment of Kitchen Garden in rural areas

is easy due to availability of space for farm families who are already engaged in agricultural practices. Kitchen gardening is one of

the World’s most ancient food production practices and is practiced throughout the world. Homestead production of fruits and

vegetables provides the households with direct access to important nutrients that may not be readily available or within their

economic reach. Vegetables play a crucial role in human’s diet and rural generation should get awareness about importance of

vegetables (Simple Jain 2017).Hence, kitchen gardening would be a good mean to improve household food security.
