Home gardening increases the diversity of foods available to households, which in turn leads to better overall utilization of nutrients, including calories. Vegetables and fruits often make other foods more palatable and can lead to an overall increased food intake.
Reason:
Cambodia is a least-developed, low-income food deficit country emerging from decades of civil conflict and economic stagnation. According to the new international poverty line set by World Bank – US$1.25-a-day, 42 percent of Cambodians live in extreme poverty. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) 2008 Global Hunger Index also lists Cambodia as one of the 33 countries having an “alarming or extremely alarming” level of hunger.

The unexpected rise of food and fuel prices in 2008 had a big impact on programme implementation. A recent impact study on soaring food prices concluded that 1.7 million Cambodians experienced food insecurity as an effect of high food prices, and that this number was expected to increase to 2.8 million, a fifth of the population, during the next "lean season". The study also found that 98 percent of the poor have incurred new debts and half of them cut back on food consumption or referred to inferior foods as a coping mechanism.
