Abstract: Increasing urbanization has made living space very scarce and sparse. The urbanites have lost backyards, back up gardens and community spaces. The need for fresh vegetables and green leaves is increasing at the same time hence urban householders are turning towards kitchen gardens and urban farming. Creating an organic kitchen garden has become a fashion and passion with urbanites. Especially women are showing interest in kitchen gardening. This concept is gaining popularity as more and more women are looking at kitchen garden as a strategy towards empowerment and sustainability. Space constraints cultivating a garden for pesticide free vegetables and fruit may seem like a far-fetched idea. But this is seen as an achievable idea for women in urban India. This is assisting women to increase their responsiveness about nutritional intake value and diet consciousness among urban women.
