Demonstrates significant links between agrobiodiversity and food security in vulnerable communities, highlighting benefits of intercropping.

To explore the contribution of indigenous agroforestry systems to food security through agrobiodiversity assessment.
Examined homegarden agroforestry systems in four socio ecological zones.
Conducted agrobiodiversity inventorying using direct counting in 192 homegardens.
Collected data on food security indicators including Food Consumption Score and Body Mass Index.
Applied regression models to analyze relationships between agrobiodiversity and food security.
Found significant association between agrobiodiversity and food security indicators.
Shannon Diversity Index recorded an average of 1.38, while Livestock Diversity Index was 0.69.
Regression models suggested a modest impact of agrobiodiversity on food consumption scores.
Household income and education had a greater contribution to food security than agrobiodiversity alone.

Sharma et al. (2026) studied this question.
