Climate-smart agriculture in Nepal

The document outlines a project designed to identify, test, and scale climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies in Nepal to address climate-driven agricultural distress. It highlights that scaling these technologies requires multi-sectoral collaboration and is dependent on specific agro-ecological contexts.

• Nepal's agriculture-dependent communities have faced serious distress due to climate-related events, specifically increased temperatures, unseasonal heavy winter rains, and long drought spells during the monsoon season.
• The project determined that the process of scaling up champion climate-smart agriculture technologies is non-linear, varies by agro-ecological context, and requires collaboration across multiple sectors.
