Abstract

Home food gardening is a potential food provisioning strategy that involves utilizing the physical, social, and economic resources of a household to produce food, particularly vegetables, fruits, berries, and herbs. While the division between farming and home food gardening can be blurred, in contrast to farming, home food gardens are in close proximity to the place of residence and involve smaller plots of land as well as a wider diversity of crops (FAO 2004).
