Climate change has ruined Nepal’s vegetable farms. Are farmers ready to save themselves?

Domestic and foreign tourists have long been drawn to the breathtaking views of the grasslands of Chitwan, which are home to a wide variety of wildlife, the verdant hills of Dhading, where farmers are constantly engaged in agricultural activities, or the pristine Trishuli flowing from Nuwakot, known for its exhilarating rafting excursions.

But, they are less appealing than they once used to be. The increasing population is one of the major causes of it. Moreover, climate change is affecting agriculture and crop production in the region. Although crops like rice ad maize are affected less, climate change has significantly impacted the production of vegetables. It has been found that due to their high sensitivity to unstable and uncertain environmental conditions vegetable production has been affected.
