Introduction   Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an integrated approach to manage landscapes—cropland,  livestock, forests and fisheries-that address the interlinked challenges of food security and  climate change. As the impacts of climate change become increasingly evident, the agricultural  sector faces unprecedented challenges. Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) emerges as a vital  approach that seeks to enhance agricultural productivity while…

Introduction The rate at which plant species are becoming extinct is alarming worldwide. While much attention is placed on the rate at which animals are lost, the loss of endangered flora likewise poses serious threats to the ecosystems and human health. Plants represent the backbone of biodiversity, supporting innumerable life forms and playing roles in…

Introduction Nepal, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and diverse ecosystems, is at a critical juncture as it grapples with the devastating impacts of climate change. The interplay between rising global temperatures, erratic weather patterns, and human activity has precipitated an increase in climate-induced disasters, including floods, landslides, and droughts. Over the years,these catastrophic events not…

1. Introduction: Nepal, a country renowned for its rich biodiversity and unique geographical features, faces significant challenges due to climate change. This article explores the impact of climate change on the vulnerability of agrobiodiversity in Nepal, examining the complex interplay between changing climatic conditions and the nation’s agricultural ecosystems. 2. Background: Nepal’s agrobiodiversity is a…

As the world struggles with the increasing effects of climate change, agriculture faces the dual challenges of adapting to new environmental conditions and reducing its contribution to global warming. Global agricultural production and food security are negatively impacted by biodiversity loss and the consequences of climate change. CSA, or climate-smart agriculture, is an approach to…

Agrobiodiversity and decomposer insects are deeply interconnected, playing crucial roles in the health and sustainability of agricultural ecosystems. Decomposer insects such as termites, flies, and beetles play a crucial role in agrobiodiversity by contributing to essential ecological processes like nutrient cycling, soil health improvement, and organic matter breakdown. Their activities directly influence the biodiversity of…

Introduction Global climate change is having profound effects on food nutrition and agrobiodiversity, which are critical to food security, human health and environmental sustainability. Agrobiodiversity, which refers to the variety and variability of plants, animals, and microorganisms used directly or indirectly for food and agriculture, is essential for sustaining ecosystems, improving agricultural resilience, and maintaining…

Introduction Climate change is increasingly recognized as a global threat, impacting ecosystems around the world. In Nepal, where the biodiversity of the mountain ecosystems is critical to both local livelihoods and global ecological health, the effects of climate change are becoming more visible with each passing year. Nepal’s mountain regions, including the Himalayas, are hotspots…

Introduction Traditional farming practices have been essential in maintaining and preserving agro-biodiversity for centuries. Unlike modern industrial agriculture, which often prioritizes high-yield monocultures, traditional systems foster a rich variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms. These practices not only ensure the sustainability of ecosystems but also provide critical resources for food security, cultural heritage, and ecological…
