    Script Nepal is one of the countries hardest hit by climate change. Farmers are the worst affected. Poverty and  impacts of climate change are pushing people to migrate. Intense monsoon rains bring on flooding, erosion and landslides. Droughts are more frequent and cause widespread damage to crops. More thatn 50% of households in Arghakhanchi District have a family member that migrated for work, the majority are men, while women remain on the frontline of climate change. To assist farmers in Arghakhanchi, FAO supports 30 farmer field schools, benefitting over 800 women. The women meet regularly to learn new farming practices to combat climate change. They are comparing five different maize varieties to determine which perform best. On one plot they grow crop the traditional way, on the other one they use new farming methods. Farmers now conduct seed-germination tests. They assess the soil moisture and acidity. More nutritious grasses are being introduced for fodder. Farmers are learning about parasites that affect their livestock and how to treat them. In Southern Nepal, FAO supports some 3,000 farmers through 120 farmer field schools, so that families can be reunited and farmers can continue to live on and off their land.
