dc.descriptionThe case study assesses the impact of home garden interventions on living conditions, crop production practices, crop diversity, and harvest use of rural households that received (only) seed kits and planting materials from IIRR. The aim of the case study is to gain insights into the multifaceted benefits of minimal home gardening interventions in Guinayangan, Quezon. 100 households across target barangays/villages received a one-time distribution of approximately seventy-five indigenous crop varieties—locally adapted cultivars grown in IIRR crop museums in Silang—with minimal additional support. The deliberate focus on indigenous crops and seeds, which have endured harsh or variable conditions, aimed to enhance garden success rates by leveraging their adaptability to local environments. The study assessed multiple factors, including crop diversity, social benefits, dietary improvements, garden produce utilization, income contributions, and overall household food security. Additionally, a sub-study undertook an in-depth evaluation of the nutritional impact of home gardens on households maintaining biodiverse, multi-species gardens primarily composed of indigenous crops and locally adapted cultivars.
