Abstract: The current research paper takes a look at back-yard gardening practices within the Serbian- Hungarian border region with the intention to evaluate the role of the inner settlement gardens in rural development through promoting self-sufficiency and potential commercialization. The project aims to explore possibilities for promoting spin farming as a tool for development in rural communities by exploiting unused capacities, encouraging local and household self-sufficiency, generating supplemental income and popularizing traditional, hand-crafted, local and bio-products. Results of the survey conducted in the area are presented along with possible future actions utilizing information obtained during the project.
