Summary
This study investigates the association between home gardening and dietary intake of fruit and vegetables in rural settlements of Northeast Hungary. The research addresses whether household-level food production contributes meaningfully to meeting nutritional recommendations in populations with potentially limited commercial market access. Findings likely inform policy and practice around the public health value of domestic food production in rural European contexts.
UK applicability
Whilst the Hungarian rural context differs from UK conditions in terms of agricultural infrastructure and market access, the findings may be relevant to UK food security and nutritional health initiatives in underserved rural areas, and could inform policies promoting allotments and home growing schemes.
Key measures
Home garden prevalence and characteristics; fruit and vegetable consumption frequency or quantity; household demographics; garden production data
Outcomes reported
