Based on their land physical conditions, house yards in rural areas of South Sumatra can be classified into six major types. Home garden models for each type of house yard had been developed. The objective of this study was to evaluate contributions of the applied models in fulfilling nutritional requirements of rural families in South Sumatra. Results of the study indicated that home gardens could contribute only <12% of protein, <10% of minerals, and <25% of vitamin B required by the families. However, of 40 villages studied, ≈20% and 34% of the families could fully received their vitamins A and C, respectively, by consuming crops produced at home gardens. Low contribution of home gardens on protein, minerals, and vitamin B was mainly related to small acreage, low fertility status of the land, and kind of crops grown. Major sources of vitamins A and C were fruits and vegetables.
