families of Punjab. Ten districts were randomly selected with the help of respective KVKs. From each district, one village
was purposively selected. Twenty farmers were randomly selected from each village. The study highlighted that large
proportion of the respondents (73.2 %) used one kanal land for nutrition garden and nearly forty per cent respondents
(47%) cultivated vegetables, pulses and fruits in their nutrition garden. Adoption quotient of land used for nutrition garden
was 43 and adoption quotient of crops (vegetables, pulses and fruits) cultivated in nutrition garden was 80. The whole
adoption of model nutrition garden was 61.5 per cent. The findings revealed that technological gap for practice I (area
