Abstract
The Resilient Rural Belize – Backyard Gardens (BYG) intervention aims to enhance the resilience of smallholder farmers in Belize by addressing food insecurity, low household income, and vulnerability to climate-related shocks. As part of the broader Resilient Rural Belize (RRB) project, the BYG intervention provided beneficiaries with agricultural inputs, including vegetable seeds, tools, small livestock, and technical training. Endline data gathered in early 2024 from 1,350 households (85 per cent coverage) shows changes in household income and food security, and improvements in resilience to climate shocks. The results indicate that the intervention significantly increased household income by an average of 1,371 BZD, driven primarily by gains in crop and livestock-related earnings. Beneficiaries also reported improved resilience to shocks, with reduced asset losses and reliance on external coping mechanisms, such as borrowing or unconditional assistance. However, the impact on dietary diversity was limited, despite increases in protein-rich food consumption. The intervention shows promising short-term results.
