Agroecology
In Nepal, all four food systems—agriculture, forestry, aquaculture, and fisheries—are under threat due to development-focused, productivity-centric plans and policies. The country’s increasing reliance on agricultural imports, coupled with extreme climate conditions, poses a significant risk to food security. Recently, record-breaking rainfall in Nepal caused substantial agricultural losses, with the government estimating a Rs 6bn loss in the sector. Floods devastated paddy crops during the harvest season, causing immense hardship for farmers.
