Climate-Resilient Agriculture for Ensuring Food Security – By Shubas Kumar || Krishi Vines
Introduction Agriculture is the sector most directly exposed to climate variability, as temperature extremes, erratic rainfall, flooding, and drought reduce yields and destabilize food supply chains (Aryal et al., 2024). The FAO estimates that climate-induced shocks have already lowered productivity in regions of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, threatening food security for millions of smallholder…
Conserving Crop Diversity as a Strategy to Combat Climate Change – By Sarita Bhandari || Krishi Vines
Introduction Crop diversity refers to the variety of plant species used in agriculture and the genetic variation found within those species. It exists at two main levels: Between species and Within species. With the changing pattern of climate, it is threatening biodiversity through changing ecosystems, shrinking habitats of wild crops relatives, and by increasing the…

A step towards a climate resilient society ||Krishi Vines||
IntroductionThe problems associated with climate change are becoming more widely recognized by governments, corporations, and the general people worldwide. While certain climate changes may have detrimental socioeconomic effects never seen before, others may have advantages if enough preparation and notice are given.Climate resilience denotes the ability to anticipate and reduce risk to climate variability and…
Agrobiodiversity in Nepal ||Krishi Vines||
Agrobiodiversity -also known as agricultural biodiversity-is the diversity and variability of plants, animals, and microorganisms which, by direct or indirect use, contribute to food and agriculture. It refers to diversity within species (genetic diversity), between species (species diversity) and of ecosystems (ecosystem diversity).Nepal is rich in biodiversity and is ranked 49 globally. The country contains…
Nepal’s Conservation Crossroads: Saving Tigers and Rhinos in the Shadow of Progress || Saqib Shamim || Krishi Vines
Nepal’s journey in conservation has been filled with remarkable accomplishments. In recent years, the combined efforts have led to the doubled tiger populations and revived the number of the iconic one- horned rhinoceros.
