Abstract
Narmada district is tribal dominated district with 78 per cent tribal population distributed in all the five blocks of Narmada district. The 89 per cent of the population of the district resides in villages and depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Farmers of tribal women in Narmada district in ruler area with small backyard spaces have been using this space for commercial monoculture and disposing the produce in local market. However while purchasing the vegetables for household purpose from the same local market the poor tribal women has an obvious habit of purchasing the cheap vegetables irrespective of their nutritive value. This practice deprived them of a combination of nutritive vegetables from their menu especially due to higher prices. Poor economic condition of the tribal farm women and fragmented land holdings are the major constrains so necessary for making Backyard nutritional kitchen garden.
