Data from 1710 farm families across 12 states, has been analyzed through Partial Least Squares Path Modelling and logistic regression, indicates that Nutri-Gardens positively impact the family nutrition. In conclusion, Nutri-Gardens offer a holistic approach to improving nutrition in rural India, empowering women, raising their socio-economic status, and promoting nutrition education and community participation. The collaboration among various stakeholders is essential to disseminate information effectively and ensure the success and sustainability of Nutri-Gardens as a cost-effective and sustainable approach to mitigate malnutrition in the rural households.
