Abstract
Southeast Asia is home to both severe over- and under-nutrition. Continued pressures on environmental sustainability and rapid urbanization are also of growing concern in the region. This paper focuses on home and community gardens and is based on examples from various parts of the world. The paper addresses how their risks and benefits may be assessed within a framework of nutrition-sensitive food systems and in the context of sustainable development. Entry points for policy makers in the Southeast Asian region, who wish to support home and community gardens, are identified and the paper concludes with a set of recommendations.
