| description | Homestead gardening (HG) offers a practical, low-cost, and gender-responsive way to improve nutrition and build resilience, especially in climate-stressed regions. With support from the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) under the CGIAR Program on Scaling for Impact, homestead gardening is being introduced and scaled in parts of Patuakhali, Rangpur, and Nilphamari, where households face both climate and nutrition challenges.
To date, the initiative has reached about 10,000 women farmers, providing them with seeds, training on composting, crop management, water management, and guidance on growing diverse crops close to home. It simply focuses on enabling women to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs in small plots around their homes so they can supplement their families’ diets year-round, even during lean seasons or climate shocks. |
