HG4RR is an international network of expert researchers and practitioners from South and East Asia and Europe that works to advance knowledge of topics related to home gardens, resilience, food security, and home garden interventions in crisis settings. The HG4RR network has partners in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Germany, the Philippines, Nepal, Thailand, and India.
We aim to deepen our understanding of small-scale home gardens in vulnerable households living under extreme uncertainty or in humanitarian crisis settings in order to inform policy and development interventions. We are particularly interested in understanding the ways that home gardens can be used as a coping strategy to strengthen food and nutritional security and resilience, and how they contribute to women’s empowerment and peace-building.

The HG4RR Network in hosted by the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
