Abstract

Home gardens have been an integral part of the recent food-based interventions aimed at stimulating changes in dietary patterns and improving nutrition. However, evidence of their effects on food security, dietary quality, child anthropometry and incomes is limited, particularly among vulnerable populations groups. Using panel data from a sample of approximately 1900 households from vulnerable population groups in Odisha, India, difference-in-differences and other econometric techniques, we analyse the effects of home gardens on food security, dietary quality, child anthropometry and income. On average, home gardens contribute to better household food security, higher dietary quality of men and women but do not contribute to higher children's dietary quality and anthropometry. Also, home gardens increase monthly per adult equivalent incomes by 37% and reduce the prevalence of poverty by 11.7 percentage points. Quantile regression results suggest that home gardens enhance food security and incomes in all quantiles, but richer farmers benefit more than poorer farmers. Overall, home gardens can enhance household food security, dietary quality of men and women, and income gains among vulnerable farming population groups, but they may not suffice to improve child dietary quality and anthropometry.

印度奥迪沙农村农户的家庭花园、家庭营养和收入
家庭菜园是最近以食物为基础的干预措施的一个组成部分,旨在刺激饮食模式的变化和改善营养。然而,关于它们对粮食安全、饮食质量、儿童人体测量和收入的影响的证据有限,特别是在弱势群体中。利用来自印度奥里萨邦弱势群体的约1900户家庭样本的面板数据,采用差异中的差异和其他计量经济学技术,我们分析了家庭菜园对粮食安全、饮食质量、儿童人体测量和收入的影响。平均而言,家庭菜园有助于改善家庭粮食安全,提高男性和女性的饮食质量,但无助于提高儿童的饮食质量和人体测量。此外,家庭菜园使每个成年人的月平均收入增加了37%,贫困率降低了11.7个百分点。分位数回归结果表明,家庭菜园提高了所有分位数的粮食安全和收入,但富裕的农民比贫穷的农民受益更多。总体而言,家庭菜园可以提高家庭粮食安全、男女饮食质量和弱势农业人口的收入,但它们可能不足以改善儿童的饮食质量和人体测量。
