Abstract

Home gardening offers one approach to improving the Indonesian diet, which is known to contain inadequate vegetables and fruit. It is also a suitable response to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly to improve food security but also to promote secondary benefits. We report on a household online survey (n = 1201) explored both the level of interest in household gardening and the impact of COVID-19 on this interest. The sample extended to all the country’s main islands, across income levels, employment status, education, and age. The popularity of home gardening was fund to vary with most of these variables, but universally to increase as a consequence of the pandemic. Insights are offered for promotion of vegetable consumption and its role in nutrition and food security. Recommendation for future research are made.
