Abstract

Improving food security as well as reducing poverty and hunger is the most important challenges the world is facing during COVID-19 period. Indians are facing the same particularly, in eastern part where poverty and malnutrition is a big problem. Climate change has impacted productivity of crops and sustainability of ecosystem. This study was done with the objective to develop climate resilient home garden model for year round production of nutritional vegetables. A model of 100 m2 area was developed and established at ICAR-RCER, Patna during 2019–21. The year round vegetable patterns were divided into three cropping seasons per year including winter (mid-October to mid-March), pre-rainy (mid-March to mid-June) and rainy (mid-June to mid-October). The season-wise production was highest in winter (166.6 kg) followed by monsoon (91.9 kg). The results suggest that a homegarden may give a considerable amount of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron (60.70%), calcium (52.29%), 7415 g/day (>100%) vitamin A, and 89.91 mg (>100%) vitamin C per day to each family member.
