dc.descriptionA research paper on women involved in commercial gardening ventures in rural Zimbabwe.en
dc.description.abstractA garden is a place for growing plants. Historically the home garden was meant to improve the nutrition and the quality of life of the family. In most of the developing countries where women are dispossessed, overworked and overlooked they arc the primary actors in home gardening. One of the greatest constraints to women's increased productivity is lack of time. To address a stark picture of insufficient intake of protective food and a high incidence of deficiency diseases, most people should be encouraged to grow their own fruits and vegetables. As women in developing countries are overworked, and have very little control of land under traditional land tenure, well organized home gardening should be encouraged. The type of crop to be grown will depend on locality but indigenous or native fruits and vegetables need scrutinyen
