Implication

Analysis reveals food gardens do not significantly enhance food security in households, suggesting improvements in income generation and extension services are needed.

Key Points

Household food security status is negatively influenced by home and community gardens, highlighting a complex relationship.
Total income was a significant positive factor (p < 0.001), while household size showed a strong negative impact (p < 0.001).
The study applied a Tobit regression model to analyze data collected from 223 respondents using structured questionnaires.
Implications suggest that land reform and improved access to credit and education are necessary for better food security outcomes.
