Climate change refers to long-term fluctuations in temperature and weather patterns. Variations in the solar cycle are generally responsible for such fluctuations. Global warming is a big part of this—it’s like the Earth’s atmosphere getting warmer because it’s holding onto more heat from the sun. The Earth’s atmosphere acts like a cozy blanket, keeping just…
In an age dominated by industrial agriculture and monoculture farming, Nepal is rediscovering the value of its forgotten crops. As global food systems become increasingly uniform, traditional crops that once thrived in Nepal’s diverse regions have been marginalized. However, a growing movement to revive these crops is not only preserving the country’s rich agricultural heritage…
Introduction With its diversified climatic conditions and topography, Nepal is one of those countries that are rich in biodiversity, thereby providing a home for a wide range of agricultural biodiversity, also referred to as agrobiodiversity. Agrobiodiodiversity concerns the diversity of crops, livestock, and microbial diversity on which sustainable agriculture is based. It is critically important…
1. Introduction to Precision Agriculture 1.1 Definition and Overview Precision agriculture, often referred to as precision farming, is an innovative approach that utilizes technology to monitor and manage field variability in crops. This method allows farmers to optimize their inputs such as water, fertilizers, and pesticides based on the specific needs of their crops. By…
In today’s era marked by climate change and water scarcity, the challenge of ensuring food security while protecting our planet’s biodiversity has never been more critical. Water smart-agriculture is emerging as key solution to this dilemma, focusing on efficient water use and promoting practices that supports sustainable ecosystem. This article explores how water smart-agriculture can…
Introduction Nepal is renowned for its rich diversity in ecosystems, civilizations and landscapes shaped by its unique geography and cultural heritage. This diversity is also evident in its agricultural systems, where a wide range of crop varieties, livestock breeds, and other biological resources have long been preserved through traditional farming methods. Communities in the western…
Abstract Agrobiodiversity encompasses the variety and variability of plants, animals, and microorganisms used for food, fuel, and fiber. Farmers play a critical role in maintaining this diversity through traditional farming practices and innovations suited to local environments. This research highlights indigenous methods of agrobiodiversity conservation, exploring sustainable farming techniques that preserve diverse crops and livestock…
Abstract Urbanization leads to habitat fragmentation, pollution, and the introduction of invasive species, while climate change exacerbates these challenges through altered temperature and precipitation patterns, extreme weather events, and rising sea levels. Case studies from the Himalayas, Southeast Asia, and Latin America highlight the urgent need for sustainable urban planning, nature-based solutions, and policy interventions…
Introduction Agrobiodiversity, or agricultural biodiversity, refers to the variety and variability of plants, animals, and microorganisms used for food and agriculture. It includes genetic resources, species diversity, and the diverse ecosystems within which agricultural activities occur. Agrobiodiversity is crucial for resilient food systems, ensuring food security, and enabling adaptation to environmental changes. However, the global…
Cities are becoming more and more acknowledged as essential locations for the protection of biodiversity as global urbanization picks up speed. Sustainable cities are largely dependent on urban agrobiodiversity, which is the range of crops, animals, and ecosystems that are a part of urban agriculture. It expresses cultural legacy, increases resistance to environmental problems, improves…
