1.

2. Being a basic human need, food has been declared as a fundamental right under the
United Nations (UN) Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) 1948. Scarcity of
food can be a potential source of conflicts and incidence of socio-economic and political
instability. There is a close nexus among food insecurity, poverty and disease. So food is
not only an agricultural and a trade commodity but is also a political and public health
issue.
3.
4. Despite being a complex process, securing food is the only way to honour the right to
food and thus international commitments. Food security leads towards healthy lives, a
resolve national governments have reiterated through international covenants and
declarations such as the UDHR 1948, International Covenant on Economic, Social and
Cultural Rights (ICESCR 1966) and World Food Summit (WFS-1996).
5.
6. Food security has international, regional, national and household dimensions.
Effective supply and demand and equitable distribution of food are the preconditions to
secure food at any of these levels. A minimum level of health standard that can help
convert food intake to support a healthy body is an additional requirement to measure
effective food security. Home gardens are found in many humid and sub-humid parts of
the world. They are sometimes called backyard or kitchen gardens. These gardens have an
established tradition and offer great potential for improving household food security and
alleviating micronutrient deficiencies. Gardening can enhance food security in several
ways, most importantly through:
7.
8. Direct access to a diversity of nutritionally-rich foods, increased purchasing power
from savings on food bills and income from sales of garden products, and
9. fall-back food provision during seasonal lean periods.
10.
11. The concept of backyard gardening was developed during world war II when Mayor
of New York addressed the nation and requested to temporarily give access to the
/var/www/apps/conversion/tmp/scratch_4/265324609.docx1 | P a g e

unemployed migrants to their back yards for growing food for the nation to overcome
food insecurity problem.
12.
13. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has this challenge as well as its more than 40% population lives
below the poverty line and intake of daily calories is below standard unit of 2200 per day.
14.
15. The campaign is a new approach which would be motivated the community for
utilization of their resources for fetching livelihood.
16.
17. The project comprises of a package to be extended to the people having an area of
about 5-7marlas lying untouched/unused with their house; where they will have to
classify with proportion of it with kitchen gardening, poultry and goat keeping. This area
would also have a portion of it for ornamental plantation/cut flowers.
18.
19. The project is aimed at to make the depletion in to abundance.
20.
21. According to the estimated population 2014; Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has 14.313
million of male population where as 13.619 million female (total 27.932 million). The
ratio of female population is 48.8%. Customs and Traditions of the province did not
allow women folk to work in the fields. Setting a half of the population in isolation did
not worth to economic growth and it ends all efforts to a failure combating poverty
alleviation. Keeping in view the present population growth rate (2.82% Census 1998);
the population of the province would become 37.746 million in 2025. The present
scenario did not ensure food availability for the population rather revolutionary steps
should need to be taken.
22.
23.
24. Multiple strategies are required to address the issue of food production and food
security. The choice of feasible approaches hinges on the existing social, political, and
economic conditions and resources available to design and implement the intervention.
Home gardens are a time-tested local strategy that are widely adopted and practiced in
various circumstances by local communities with limited resources and institutional
support. It is evident from the literature that home gardens are a part of the agriculture
and food production systems in many developing countries and are widely used as a
remedy to alleviate hunger and malnutrition in the face of a global food crisis.
25.
26. Globally, home gardens have been documented as an important supplemental source
contributing to food and nutritional security and livelihoods. 'Food production on small
plots adjacent to human settlements is the oldest and most enduring form of cultivation'.
For centuries, home gardens have been an integral component of family farming and local
food systems. Home gardening is an ancient and widespread practice all over the world.
In the literature, home gardens are classified as mixed, kitchen, backyard, farmyard,
compound or homestead garden.
27.
28. Mushrooms have been valued throughout the world as both food and medicine for
thousands of years. They are a rich source of nutrition and form a major chunk of health
foods. Fats occur in mushrooms in minor amounts, especially compared with protein and
carbohydrates, and the fatty fraction consists predominantly of unsaturated fatty acids
such as linoleic acid, they may be the perfect food for maintaining a healthy heart and
cardiovascular system. Earlier Mushroom eating was restricted to specific regions and
/var/www/apps/conversion/tmp/scratch_4/265324609.docx2 | P a g e

areas of the world but due to globalization, interaction between different cultures,
growing consumerism has ensured the accessibility of Mushrooms in all areas.
Mushrooms are increasingly gaining acceptance in different Cusines and
in everyday consumption. They have created a space in a common mans kitchen. Also,
current trend of consumption conveys the opportunity that lies in the area of mushroom
exports.
29.
The two most commonly grown species of mushroom in India are white Button
mushroom and Oyster mushroom. Cultivation of the common white button mushroom
requires technical skill. Apart from other factors, the system requires humidity, two
different temperatures i.e. Temperature for spawn or vegetative growth (Spawn Run): 22280C, for reproductive Phase (fruit body formation): 15-18 0, Humidity: 85-95% and
enough ventilation during substrates that are sterilized are easily contaminated unless
spawned under very aseptic conditions. Therefore steaming at 1000C (pasteurization) is
more acceptable.
30.
31.
The proposed project would help to produce nutritious food for common
people with extra earnings to the farm families.

A. BACK YARD GARDENING
102.
103.
Vegetable crop would fetch 60 Kg/marla yield at an average the total
estimated produce from 5 marla vegetable garden would be 300 Kg. If the cost of
this produce is estimated at a lowest (Rs. 25/- p.kg), the owner will earn/save
expenditure of Rs. 7500/- from one season.
104.
B. KITCHEN GARDENING
105.
106.
9000 farm families would fetch their food through kitchen gardening (6
members family at an average that means 54000 persons would have benefit of the
project). The activities and skill would further be adopted by the community bringing
the idle small units in to use. (Cost per beneficiary comes to Rs. 4118.00 in three
years).
107.
C. MUSHROOM CULTIVATION
108.

109.
Each Mushroom cultivation center will produce 8.4 tons per annum.
Total production of mush room from 750 centers is estimated as 6300 tons per
annum. Each center will have 432,000/- net income per year.
