Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Herbal consist of several vital constituents which plays vital rule to improve health conditions of rural people. Rural people can harvest several kinds of vegetable which also demonstrated potential biological effect against several disease conditions. Socio-economical conditions also play major role for safeguarding people health conditions. This study influence social awareness among rural people by harvesting vegetable and use of these vegetable to maintain food nutrition value of a healthy body. These also help to raise their socio-economic conditions to leads healthy life. The homestead activity was conducted in six poor and marginal farm families at MLT site, Shibpur, Rajshahi during rabi 2009-10 to utilize the labour of family members and different homestead production unit with scientific way to produce fresh and safe vegetables and fruits. Among the tested homestead, each homestead, produced 628.0 kg of vegetables and fruits, Among the vegetables, own consumption by their family member 343.0 kg, free distributed 135.0 kg sold 150.0 kg and average intake/person/day 233.3 kg (considering 7 family members) respectively. In this investigation, demonstrated that rural people intake lots of vital nutrients from these vegetable as well as increase their socio-economical condition. They improve natural body immunity due to intake most vital constituents from these vegetables. So, we can use this model against malnutrition and social economic development.

Commodity: Fresh and processed food

Objectives:

A base line survey among the selected homestead farmers were done before intervention. Every homestead production cost was 2100 Tk considering, only seeds, Fencing materials, seedling/sapling. In this report 6 (six) production units and 17 (seventeen) fruits and vegetable crops were considered. Data were collected from vegetable sector mainly and some cases papaya, guava also considered from November, 09 to May 2010 that have been incorporated in this report. Now vegetable cultivation is still running in those homesteads. Data on total production, consumption,

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Shibpur MLT site, Shibpur, Puthia, Rajshahi in 6 poor and marginal farm family selected with the help of local DAE personnel during rabi, 2009. The selected farm families were ICM club member. Different vegetable patternt were tested in different production units according to “Goyespur vegetable production model.

Achievement/Findings:

Six homestead activities are going on round the year. According to “Goyespur Model” Here we considered only six production units only. From these production unit per homestead produced 628.0 kg, Own consumption 343.0 kg, free distributed 135 kg and sold 150 kg of vegetable. Average every family (family member 7) member uptake vegetable per day per person was 233.3 g. According to this model average vegetable requirement is sufficient up to 11 family members. In this investigation, demonstrated that rural people intake lots of vital nutrients from these vegetable as well as increase their socio-economical condition. They improve natural body immunity due to intake most vital constituents from these vegetables. So, we can use this model against malnutrition and social economic development in under developing and developing countries.
