Benefit of fruit plants under nutrition garden

I was a member in the community nutrition garden in 2013 and I got inspiration to take up Farming System for Nutrition (FSN) activities. The M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation provided me with saplings of amla, custard apple, papaya, sapota, mango, moringa, lemon, curry leaves and agati and gave technical guidance. I have no agriculture land and I work as an agriculture labourer on Mr. Sudhakar Mule’s farm land. With his permission, I planted the saplings on his farm and we share the produce.
