Abstract

The demand of vegetables and fruits are increasing along with the increasing population. But due to expansion of settlements, the cultivable land is decreasing, especially the fellow land beside the house which is suitable for kitchen gardening. The paper covers the discussion related with kitchen gardening and different socio-economic indicators such as- income, occupation, education, knowledge about kitchen gardening, tendency of gardeners, attitudes of land owners regarding kitchen gardening. In the study area, almost all of the houses have 1/6 to 3+ decimal vacant lands in and around their houses. This land is remaining fallow all over the year. However, the present study tries to focus on the problems and prospects of kitchen gardening on these fallow lands located in ward 24 of Khulna City Corporation Area. Some suggestions have been outlined from the study, which will be useful for further studies and to take pilot/action oriented programmes on kitchen gardening in the study area as well as in other areas of Khulna City Corporation.
