Forest diversity and Nutritious Diets . Available Iron in mg from one day food consumption data ( on raw food basis) Available Calcium in mg from one day food consumption data (on raw food basis). Andherilima a village with shrunken forest and Laxmipur with good forest cover. From randomly selected 50 % households for 5 days, across 6 month actual cooked ingredients were weighed and estimations were made for different nutrients. The data of 11 household data is presented above. It is only estimation made from raw foods that went into cooking pot remarkable.
Dietary Diversity Score • DDS is collected in 25% of total villages in the HHs having (0-2) years children & pregnant mothers. • 24 hour recall method was used with respondents • Analysis is shared with community. • Crop plan prepared according to DDS analysis. • Separate crop plans for farms and Nutrition garden are prepared.
Low score- HHs consumed 3 ~ 5 varieties of food groups in last 24 hour. Medium score- HHs consumed 6~ 7 food groupsHigh score- HHs consumed more than 8 food groups
Crop Planning • Crop Planning is prepared with each HHs for farm and nutrition garden to ensure balanced diet with appropriate quantity. • Communities have been facilitated to collect seeds from neighbouring villages to increase their existing crop diversity. • After crop planning, diversity increased to 11~12 varieties from 4~ 5 varieties. • Increase of pigeon pea cultivation, consumption and bringing in more land under pulses away from cotton. • More than 5000 families planting one papaya and drumstick tree each in their backyard.
Increasing crop diversity and productivity at farm and garden Increase in availability of more carbohydrates, proteins, fat and other vitamins and minerals at households
