AbstractKitchen gardens may improve family food security and nutrition. While these gardens are the domain of women in Afghanistan, women face unique challenges accessing training and resources to maximize small-scale agricultural output. The University of Maryland's Women in Agriculture Project builds capacity among female extension educators to work with vulnerable women to implement and maintain kitchen gardens. Extension educators use experiential methods to teach vegetable gardening, apiculture, small-scale poultry production, post-harvest handling and processing, nutrition and marketing through workshops, demonstration gardens and farmer field schools. This paper explores contextual factors related to women's food security and agricultural opportunities, describes key project activities and approaches and discusses project success and challenges, sustainability and implications for future programs.

Full textAbstract:
The current epidemic of cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) in Pakistan started in 1988 with the natural host range limited to a few plant species in the family Malvaceae. However, we have observed expansion in the host range of the virus, and several non-Malvaceous plants were found to be infected with the virus. Characteristic symptoms of CLCuD such as leaf curl and enations have been observed on radish plants, primarily in kitchen gardens. However, in 1999, levels of infection of 10 to 90% were observed both in commercial fields and kitchen gardens in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Both symptomatic and nonsymptomatic samples were collected from five different locations. Total DNA was isolated, dot-blotted on nylon membrane, and a full-length clone corresponding to DNA A of cotton leaf curl virus was labeled with 32P dCTP and used as a probe for the detection of a begomovirus. Strong signals were observed in symptomatic plants while no signals were observed in nonsymptomatic plants. Infection with a begomovirus was further confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using degenerate primers for DNA A (1). Primers specific for the two distinct begomoviruses associated with CLCuD were also used in PCR reactions (2), and products of the expected size were obtained from all symptomatic samples, confirming infection with begomoviruses similar to those associated with CLCuD. A full-length probe of a nanovirus-like molecule associated with cotton leaf disease (3), called DNA 1 was labeled with 32P dCTP and detected the virus only in symptomatic plants. Similarly, primers specific for DNA 1 (3) amplified a product of expected size when used in PCR. On the basis of symptomatology and the detection of specific viral components associated with the disease, we confirmed that radish plants are infected with Cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV). Since radish is a short duration crop, infection of CLCuV in radish may not serve as a direct source of infection for the next cotton crop. However, it is a potential threat to tomato crops which overlap with radish in the Punjab province. The detection of CLCuD in radish is another example of the mobilization of begomoviruses to previously unknown hosts. References: (1) M. R. Rojas et al. Plant Dis. 77:340, 1993. (2) S. Mansoor et al.

Diawali dengan pilah sampah kemudian secara kolektif sampah dapur dikomposkan menjadi pupuk. Berbagai jenis sayuran dapat ditanam melalui media kebun vertikal sehingga membantu mewujudkan kemandirian sayuran segar bagi keluarga. Secara spesifik rekayasa berkebun sebagai mekanisme edukasi perilaku pro-lingkungan kepada warga serta penerapan ipteks bagi masyarakat. Secara general rekayasa sosial menginspirasi masyarakat berkebun atau media komunikasi bagi sesama penggiat berkebun. Untuk penerapan secara lebih luas perlu didasari oleh komitmen kuat dari kader serta proses evaluasi sehingga proses perbaikan akan dilakukan sebelum musim tanam berikutnya.
ABSTRACT
The community empowerment activity aims to help Family Prosperity Empowerment Program (PKK) in creating environmentally oriented productive society. In accordance with partner problems, the output is in the form of gardening engineering in RT 02/02 Beji Timur. The implementation method is through collaboration and outreach with the Chairperson of PKK involving 10 housewives (dasawisma) in gardening practices. Gardening engineering utilizes wastelands and narrow fields between citizen’s houses in RT 02/02. The gardens designed vertically using water pipe or mild steel frame and plastic gutter. The model makes it easier for housewives to do gardening activities and move them to another lands. The output benefit is bridging gardening habits with pro-environment behavior. Starts with sorting out the trash and then the kitchen trash composted into fertilizer collectively. Various types of vegetables can be planted through vertical garden so that helps the families with the fresh vegetable independence. Specifically gardening engineering is a pro-environment behavior education mechanism and the application of science and technology in the society. Generally, the social engineering inspires gardening community or communication media for fellow gardeners. For wider application, it needs to be based on strong commitment and evaluation process from the cadre so that the repair process will be carried out before the next planting season.

The article discusses the kind of a typical house of the medieval Volhynian of the late XIV – middle XVI centuries. It is based on narrative and archaeological sources. The author explores the stages of building a house, material options and the help of craftsmen, external and internal appearance of the house, a variety of household utensils. It was found out that the family yard consisted mostly of living quarters, stables, farm pits and gardens. Wealthy townspeople placed baths in the yard, obtaining permission from the administration. The construction of the house was the business of the owner, who, in addition to the involvement of artisans, was himself a worker. An essential attribute of the dwelling was the furnace, which was decorated with tiles of geometric or floral ornament. Until the beginning of the sixteenth century, the living quarters were wooden, while the administrative and church buildings were made of stone. This was one of the causes of city fires that local authorities tried to fight, limiting candle light and hiring a city security guard. It is noted that in order to fill the houses, the market was filled with wide range of products from local manufactures, from shovels to variety of colored glasses, bowls and other kitchen essentials. It was proved that the home decoration was influenced by owner’s activities, his well-being and aesthetic preferences typical for the residents of the region. It was also determined that the dwellings of Volhynian were rich enough. In addition to that, the development of the city was monitored by the local authorities, which often abused its power.

Fruit and vegetables (F&V) are imperative for good health, yet less than one per cent of Australian children consume these food groups in sufficient quantities. As guided by Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), this paper aimed to: (i) understand key informant perspectives of the amount, types and quality of F&V consumed by rural and remote Western Australian (WA) children; and, (ii) determine strategies that could increase F&V consumption among rural and remote WA children. This qualitative study included 20 semi-structured interviews with health, school/youth and food supply workers, focusing on topics including: quantity and type of F&V consumed and strategies to increase children’s consumption. A thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo qualitative data analysis software (Version 10, 2014. QSR International Pty Ltd., Doncaster, Victoria, Australia). Key informants reported children consumed energy-dense nutrient-poor foods in place of F&V. Strategy themes included: using relevant motivators for children to increase their preference for F&V (i.e., gaming approach, SCT construct of ‘expectations’); empowering community-driven initiatives (i.e., kitchen gardens, SCT construct of ‘environment’); increasing food literacy across settings (i.e., food literacy skills, SCT construct of ‘behavioural capacity’); developing salient messages and cooking tips that resonate with parents (i.e., parent newsletters, SCT construct of ‘self-control’); increasing F&V availability, safety, and convenience (i.e., school provision); and, considering the impact of role models that extend beyond the family (i.e., relatable role models, SCT construct of ‘observational learning’). Overall, a comprehensive strategy that incorporates relevant motivators for children and families, supports local initiatives, reinforces the range of role models that are involved with children and creates healthier environments, is required to increase F&V consumption among children.

Introduction. While school-based kitchen garden programs are shown to improve fruit and vegetable consumption and knowledge among children, there has been little research on participant perceptions of these programs, specifically among minority populations that are disproportionately affected by and at high risk for overweight and obesity. This qualitative study examined the perceptions of and values associated with participation in school-based kitchen garden programs implemented through Edible Schoolyard New Orleans in low-income, predominantly African American schools in New Orleans, Louisiana. Method. Qualitative data were collected through semistructured focus group discussions with key stakeholder groups at schools offering Edible Schoolyard New Orleans. Results. A total of 10 focus groups were conducted across 4 middle schools with students ( n = 27), parents ( n = 17), and teachers ( n = 17). Four primary themes emerged during data analysis: development of life skills, food and health, family and community, and experiential and participatory learning. Conclusions. To strengthen the sustainability and potential impact of school-based kitchen garden programs, future intervention strategies should place specific emphasis on the themes that emerged from this study. School-based kitchen garden programs may be a promising strategy to positively influence the individual, social, and physical environmental factors that contribute to overweight and obesity in low-income, African American communities.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Pilot study of the composition of wastes was carried out in 15 rural family households engaged in agricultural activity. In the study group the average resident of rural areas generates about 166 kg of municipal wastes annually. The conducted studies showed that the composition of municipal wastes coming from rural households changes seasonally. During the periods of summer and autumn, the quantity of bio-wastes increased distinctly. The average mass of wastes transferred to the companies engaged in the collection of wastes in the analyzed rural households is almost 50 kg · M–1. year–1. The studies showed that over 80% of organic wastes (kitchen and garden) is utilized in the place where they are generated. In the studies, organic wastes were collected selectively (in separate bags), which undoubtedly had infiuence on their humidity (70–90%). Laboratory analysis of these wastes showed that the ratio C:N in it was from 7 to 19, whereas pH lay within the limits from 5.8 to 6.9 indicating its very good properties for the composting process. Therefore composting of organic waste from rural household should be recommended as the best way for its disposal and the weight reduction of biodegradable waste going to landfills. Comparison of the analyzed variants showed that some waste other than kitchen and garden does not leave the holding (it is re-used or burned in home hearths).

In a cuisine known best for its ample portions of pasta and in a cold climate favoring hearty food, Utica Greens, a méélange of sautééed escarole, cherry peppers, garlic, cheese, prosciutto, breadcrumbs and olive oil, has become a regional specialty. ““Greens”” now appear on the menu of virtually every Italian-American restaurant in Utica and can be found on buffet tables at receptions and potlucks in the surrounding area. Incorporating interviews with chefs and household cooks, this article charts the history of Utica Greens from its origins as a humble dish prepared in Italian-American family kitchens to its appearance in local restaurants where it has become a nostalgic marker of a time when people grew their own food in backyard gardens and home-grown vegetables were at the center of family life.

Full textAbstract:
This paper tries to highlight the women’s working status in previous time to some changing status these days in Sinhupalchowk District. In the previous time women have to do all manual work, women reserve the grain, tend to the livestock, grow the vegetable in the kitchen garden, transplant the saplings at the start of the cropping season and than again reap, thresh and clean the harvest. Such activities are not restricted to the village economy alone; women are also equally involved in other development work of their community these days.
The family work could be defined as the total volume of physical and mental labour performed for the maintenance of a family. It incorporate all the endeavors applied for the person him/herself and for others. Indeed, the family work in total should be termed as the collective responsibility of all the members of family. However the burden of family work is usually greater for the women and for those people living in the marginalized economy of the household. The CNAS collected data suffices the ground to conclude that the women in Sindhupalchowk have miserable life .But now-days some women are changing their employment to government service and foreign employment.

My mother grew up in a small Punjabi village not far from Chandigarh. As she chopped onions for the evening meal or scrubbed the shine back onto a steel pan or watched the clouds of curds form in a bowl of slowly setting homemade yoghurt, any action with a rhythm, she would begin a mantra about her ancestral home. She would chant of a three-storeyed flat-roofed house, blinkered with carved wooden shutters around a dust yard where an old-fashioned pump stood under a mango tree.… In England, when all my mother's friends made the transition from relatives' spare rooms and furnished lodgings to homes of their own, they all looked for something ‘modern. ’ “It's really up to date, Daljit,” one of the Aunties would preen as she gave us the grand tour of her first proper home in England. “Look at the extra flush system … Can opener on the wall … Two minutes' walk to the local amenities …” But my mother knew what she wanted. When she stepped off the bus in Tollington, she did not see the outside lavvy or the apology for a garden or the medieval kitchen, she saw fields and trees, light and space, and a horizon that welcomed the sky which, on a warm night and through squinted eyes, could almost look something like home.

agricultura tradicional de sequeiro e de regadio. Inseridos os estudos de caso de referência – o
Regadio do Nascente e as hortas da Ribeira das Mercês – nos usos agrícolas da água, em
correspondência com a pequena agricultura familiar de subsistência, procura-se através da
análise da gestão social da água de rega de uso comum compreender algumas dimensões
sociais (económica, jurídica, relacional, simbólica e outras) da sociedade do Alto Barrocal
incluída nas freguesias de Querença, Tôr e Salir do concelho de Loulé, sobretudo do ponto de
vista do agricultor. Manter activo o uso comum da água no fundo dos vales, zonas
tradicionalmente privilegiadas do ponto de vista dos recursos hídricos, pode significar para as
gentes do Barrocal o acautelar de um recurso indispensável a um futuro que se afigura incerto.
Incerto do ponto de vista da auto-subsistência familiar, incerto do ponto de vista do recurso
água.This text aims to examine and find out how draught and torrential downpour situations are managed according to traditional practices of rainfed and irrigated farming in the Algarvian Barrocal region, which is a typical torrential flow regime area. By examining the social management of the common use of irrigation water, it aims to understand the social dimensions (economic, legal, relational, symbolic and others) of the people of Alto Barrocal in the Querença, Tôr and Salir parishes in the Loulé municipal council, particularly from the viewpoint of the farmer, with reference case studies – the Regadio do Nascente [Spring Irrigation] and the hortas da Ribeira das Mercês [kitchen gardens of Ribera das Mercês] – included in the agricultural use of water with relation to small, family-run subsistence farms. Maintaining an active common use of water in the valley bottoms, which usually have greater water resources, could mean the protection of this essential resource for the people of Barrocal in the uncertain future. Uncertain from the standpoint of the self-subsistence of farm families, uncertain from the standpoint of water resources.
