Agriculture is the backbone of Nepal’s economy, providing livelihoods for over 65% of the population. In the heart of the Himalayas, where fertile valleys and diverse climates support a wide range of crops, agriculture is more than just a way of life — it is a path to resilience, food security, and empowerment.
At CDCN, we believe that investing in sustainable agriculture is investing in the future of Nepal. Our agricultural programs are designed to uplift smallholder farmers by promoting eco-friendly practices, improving access to resources, and enhancing local knowledge. From organic farming and soil conservation to training in climate-smart techniques, our work helps communities adapt to a changing environment while increasing productivity and income.
We focus on empowering women, youth, and marginalized groups to take leadership roles in agricultural development. By connecting farmers to markets, encouraging cooperatives, and promoting agri-entrepreneurship, we help build stronger rural economies and healthier communities.
Together, we can cultivate a future where every farmer thrives, every family has enough to eat, and Nepal’s rich agricultural heritage is preserved for generations to come.
