Agrobiodiversity Enhancement Through Agroecological Approaches – By Smreeti Paudel || Krishi Vines
Enhancing biodiversity through agroecological methods entails incorporating ecological concepts into farming methods to build more resilient and sustainable ecosystems. Agroecology encourages organic agricultural practices, crop rotation, and a variety of crops to promote soil health and natural pest management. In addition to increasing biodiversity on farms, this improves ecosystem services including nutrient cycling and pollination,…
Climate Smart Agriculture: A sustainable Future – By Stuti Acharya || Krishi Vines
Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is a landscape management approach that adapts farming methods, livestock, and crops to the current anthropogenic climate change. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring food security for the growing global population. So, the emphasis is not just on sustainable agriculture, but also on boosting agricultural output. Climate smart agriculture…
Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA): Integrating Agrobiodiversity into Nepal’s Farming Systems – By Bandana Paudel || Krishi Vines
Abstract As global agricultural systems face escalating threats from climate change, Nepal’s unique geography and rich cultural heritage highlight the urgency for adaptive practices. This article explores the principles of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) and emphasizes the critical role of agrobiodiversity in enhancing the resilience and sustainability of farming systems in Nepal. By implementing integrated agricultural…
The Role of Traditional Knowledge in Enhancing Climate Resilience in Nepalese Agriculture – By Prashiddha Devkota || Krishi Vines
Traditional knowledge basically refers to the knowledge, skills, and philosophies developed or adapted by the inhabitants of the particular area. It is developed over time and is tied to the particular community or natives. Traditional knowledge can help meeting the goals of societies by developing sustainable agriculture and ensuring food security for local communities. Traditional…
Agrobiodiversity as a Pillar of Climate Resilience: Insights from Nepal – By Kritika Shiwakoti
Climate change presents significant challenges to global agriculture, with its impacts growing more severe each year. Unpredictable weather patterns, prolonged droughts, floods, and rising temperatures threaten food security and livelihoods, especially for smallholder farmers. To address these challenges, agrobiodiversity—the diversity and variability of plants, animals, and microbes used directly or indirectly in agriculture—has emerged as…
Impact Of Microplastic In Local Water Bodies In Nepal: A Growing Environmental Concern – By Nikita Thapa || Krishi Vines
Nepal, known for its rich biodiversity and abundant water resources, faces increasing environmental challenges, including the contamination of local water bodies with microplastics. Microplastics are the plastic particles smaller than 5 mm in diameter. They enter the environment either as primary or secondary microplastics. Primary microplastics are released directly in their original form often from…
Innovative Tools and Techniques for Agrobiodiversity Conservation – By Sudarshan Panta || Krishi Vines
The varied topography and climatic conditions of Nepal host an astounding level of agrobiodiversity. Besides underpinning national agriculture, this biodiversity indirectly supports livelihoods and further improves food security. However, rapid urbanization, climate change, and unsustainable agricultural practices now pose significant threats to this valuable resource. Thus, against these, innovative tools and techniques are rising to…
Climate-Resilient Crops in Nepal: Harnessing Agrobiodiversity for Sustainable Agriculture – By Resham Basnet || Krishi Vines
Nepal, with its diverse agroecological zones, is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as erratic rainfall patterns, droughts, and rising temperatures. These changes threaten food security, livelihoods, and ecosystems, especially for smallholder farmers who rely on traditional agricultural practices. In response, there is a growing emphasis on developing and promoting climate-resilient crops through the…
Climate Change and Melting Permafrost: A Threat to Agrobiodiversity – Barsha Sapkota || Krishi Vines
Permafrost is any ground that remains completely frozen—32°F (0°C) or colder—for at least two years straight. These permanently frozen grounds are most common in regions with high mountains and in Earth’s higher latitudes—near the North and South Poles. Permafrost covers large regions of the Earth. Almost a quarter of the land area in the Northern…
Effect of climate change in pollinator population: A threat to Food security – By Asmita Ghimire || Krishi Vines
INTRODUCTION Pollinator populations are declining worldwide and over 87% of flowering plant species and 87 of the leading global food crops rely on pollinators for seed production. Pollinator decline seriously impacts biodiversity conservation, reduces crop yield, and threatens food security. Pollinator populations around the world have been declining at an alarming rate in recent decades…
