Contribution of own food production to household dietary diversity and nutrient intake adequacy among refugee households in Palorinya, northwestern Uganda

20261 citationOpen accessGulu University

Abstract

Own food production contributes moderately to dietary diversity and minimally to nutrient intake adequacy. Education level, land access, and kitchen gardening play important roles in shaping HDDS and nutrient intake adequacy. Interventions should focus on promoting kitchen gardening, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, and improving refugee land policy to enhance nutrient intake in refugee settlements.
