. Home Gardens in Nepal. Pokhara, , 2004.

This book on Nepalese home gardens brings together new research findings and perspectives to show us how home gardens contribute to the development, nutrition, and well being of rural households. The extensive literature on home gardens has addressed the various aspects of food security, nutrition, income, gender, biodiversity and ecosystem services that characterise home garden systems. The authors of this volume have gone further than simply enumerating the attributes of home gardens; they have shown how home gardens can be supported and mobilized as a development intervention that contributes to empowering rural households by generating income and improved nutrition in ways that areembedded in local cultures and traditions.
