      abstract = {The present study focused on addressing the factors  influencing the adoption of homestead vegetable farming by  rural farmers in a selected region of Bangladesh. It also  assessed the farmer’s perception of vegetable farming in  their homestead areas. A total of 92 households were  interviewed randomly through field survey method.  Perception index, gross margin and net return analysis,  Logit regression model were employed to analyze the  collected data. Most of the household’s liquidity asset  increased after involving in homestead vegetable farming  which has been identified from perception index analysis.  Vegetable cultivation in the homestead areas was profitable  as the undiscounted benefit cost ratio for three selected  vegetables was greater than one. The chances of farmers to  practice homestead vegetable farming are increased with  their level of education, farm size, household income,  extension contact and availability of irrigation water.  However, engagement in off-farm activities by farmers  reduced the chance of involvement in homestead vegetable  farming as the farmers had lesser time to devote in such  activities. For encouraging farmers to practice homestead  vegetable farming, both government and private institutions  should play their role to provide regular extension  service, training facilities and to ensure availability of  irrigation water.},
