The difficult terrain coupled with small and fragmented land holding in the North-West (NW) Himalaya poses a great challenge for improvement in the agricultural productivity and profitability in order to ensure the food and nutrient security to the inhabitants. The niche potential of off-seasonality explored for vegetable cultivation in twentyeight low cost greenhouses in a small hill village of Uttarakhand state of India, a part of NW Himalayan region. These greenhouses helped in maintaining the congenial environment for plant growth. Promising cropping system of vegetable cultivation was experimented, validated and popularized at the farmers’ field. This resulted into enhancement of production efficiency to 3.71 kg/100m2 /day and thus, fetched good returns from the investment on greenhouse cultivation. This scheme of greenhouse cultivation of off-season vegetables can not only bring the prosperity to the farmers but also address the issues of food and nutritional security to the people living in hill and mountain regions.
