Pandiammal(2020) A study conducted in Ramanputhur, India, found that

household members are the best population to make awareness about the importance of kitchen gardening. The study
found that 83% of household members had moderately adequate knowledge about kitchen gardening, while 10% had
adequate knowledge and 7% had inadequate knowledge. The correlation between knowledge and attitude towards kitchen
gardening was positive, with a r = 0.040, indicating moderately adequate knowledge. The study suggests distributing
booklets to improve knowledge and attitudes among household members.

Gita J. Bhimani , M. K. Bariya(2020) study was conducted to study the awareness and adoption of kitchen gardening
in urban areas. 100 urban kitchen garden owners were selected from a trained group in Surat. The results showed that the
majority had medium level knowledge about kitchen gardening (70%), while 9% had high knowledge. The adoption rate
was medium (55%), with only 20% of urban women having high adoption rates. This study highlights the importance of
urban garden cultivation for accessing adequate nutrients and promoting healthy vegetable production.

Phool Kumari, Anant Kumar ,et.al (2018) Over half of the population suffers from chronic food insecurity, and global
food production needs to increase by 70% to meet daily caloric requirements. Rural communities often consume low-
quality food due to lack of purchasing power, ignorance, and unavailability. A study conducted in 12 villages found that
most farm families had limited kitchen garden space, with many lacking knowledge about seeds, irrigation stages,
manure, fertilizer, transplanting distance, and sowing time. Introducing kitchen gardens helped families save money on
vegetables and reduce health problems by using a balanced diet.

Dr. Vinita Singh, Dr. KP Tiwari 2022 conducted 117 demonstrations in Tali village of Karkeli block between 2018-19
and 2020-21 on nutritional kitchen gardening. Six training programs were given to 125 participants to increase vegetable
availability and nutrient intake at household level. The study found an improvement in vegetable availability and
consumption, with an average per capita vegetable availability of 271.43 gm/day in Kharif and 298.97 gm/day in Rabi.
Major constraints faced for kitchen garden establishment included unavailability of quality planting material and seeds of
HYV vegetables.

Pragya Ojha and Shyam Singh 2019 assessed the knowledge gained and changes in vegetable production after
establishing a model kitchen garden. 50 rural women were randomly selected, and the Kitchen Garden Kit was used as a
critical input. Results showed a significant increase in vegetable production, knowledge, and economic performance,
proving kitchen gardening a viable livelihood strategy.

Anuradha Ranjan Kumari 1 , Shamsher Singh2, et.al (2017)Kitchen gardening has been a common practice in rural
India since ancient times, with women playing a significant role in growing vegetables for family needs. The KVK
Deoria has demonstrated kitchen gardening to 250 farmers and women over the last four years, aiming to improve health
and hygiene measures. The demonstrations have led to healthier, long, prosperous, and biodegradable lives for the
women. The knowledge of kitchen gardening has increased significantly, with a majority of women having a high level
of knowledge after contact. However, input constraints remain a significant challenge for the women's adoption of
kitchen gardening.

Seema chawla,Chander bhan ,et.al (2016) assessed the impact of kitchen gardening training on rural women in Tamkot
and 12 SPM villages. The training increased environmental beauty and income for growers, but recommended long-term
interventions to support livelihoods with market links and community strategies for improved access to products and
services. Kitchen gardens are indigenous livelihood practices, especially among women, and their benefits are
particularly visible in poor households.

Chandra Kala Yadav ,Nimisha Awasthi (2022), study conducted under the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) in 8 villages
of Kanpur Dehat found that household food processing and kitchen gardens significantly contribute to national food
security. The study involved 120 households and 120 trainees, focusing on pre-test, intervention, and training. The results
showed increased vegetable and regional fruit yields from 2017 to 2020, with Rabi crops being the highest yield. The
monthly mean income from kitchen gardens was Rs. 1034.6, resulting in increased consumption and happiness in the
family environment. The study emphasized productivity, profitability, sustainability, and stability

Jessie Suneetha W,J. Hemantha Kumar, et.al (2022) The concept of cultivating vegetables in tribal communities in
India has decreased due to climate changes, monkey menace, and changing lifestyle preferences. To address this, tribal
communities in Enkoor (M), Khammam district were provided with seeds for year-round vegetable cultivation, along
with perennial trees for antioxidant benefits. During COVID-19, farmers saved Rs. 5200-6800 per household per year,
increasing the consumption of green leafy vegetables and roots and tubers. This also improved the consumption of eggs,
non-vegetarian foods, and snacks

Dr.P.Aishwarya, Dr.M.Divya, et.al (2023) conducted a study which includeThe kitchen is a crucial part of a household,
and its choices can have an environmental impact. More people are consciously making their homes eco-friendly,
focusing on environmental protection, saving money, and improving health. By implementing simple changes like
recycling and energy-efficient appliances, a kitchen can become a sustainable place. Technological advances have led to
unprecedented challenges, such as climate change, diminishing resources, waste, allergies, stress, and water scarcity.
