abstract: 'Background Home gardening is a strategy to improve nutrition and food
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
security. More information is needed about optimizing gardens in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
different contexts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Objective The aim was to identify implementation barriers and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
facilitators for a home gardening intervention in rural Guatemala and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inform future larger-scale interventions in the region.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Design A mixed-methods implementation study using the RE-AIM (Reach,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) framework was
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
conducted from January 2019 to July 2020.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Participants/setting Families (n = 70) in rural Guatemala participated
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in the intervention. Staff (n = 4), families (n = 6), and community
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
stakeholders (n = 3) participated in interviews or focus groups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Intervention Participating households received seeds and seedlings for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
16 crops, garden construction materials, agronomist-delivered education
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and assistance, and a standard-of-care nutrition program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Main outcome measures Implementation data were collected from program
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
records and observations, participant surveys, and interviews and focus
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
groups. Crop count and nutritional functional diversity of home gardens
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
were assessed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Statistical analyses performed Descriptive statistics were calculated
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for quantitative outcomes. Qualitative data were double-coded and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
organized into overarching themes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Results Reach: Ninety percent of eligible households participated. Child
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nutritional eligibility criteria was a barrier to reach. Effectiveness:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Participants and stakeholders felt the intervention improved access to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
diverse foods. Cultivated crops increased an average of five species
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(95\% confidence interval {[}CI], 4-6) at 6 months, although not all
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
were consumed. Adoption: The main community adoption barrier was water
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sourcing for garden irrigation.Implementation: Raised beds were the most
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
common gardening method, with good adoption of agricultural best
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
practices. Gray water filters and flexible implementation were important
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for participation. Maintenance: Crops failure rates were low. Seed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
availability was a sustainability challenge. Direct costs were 763 USD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
per household.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Conclusions Interest and engagement with a home garden intervention in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Guatemala were high. Gaps between garden production and consumption,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
access to water, and seed sourcing should be addressed in future work.'
