Nepal: Coping with Climate Change, Addressing Migration 
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. 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.

10. View of Bhagawoti village


11. Man from Bhagawoti village


12. Women walking carrying fodder on their heads


13. Wide shot of low hills and clouds in Arghakhanchi district


14. SOT Pushpa Khanal – Farmer (Nepalese): For the last ten years we have been noticing the impacts of climate change. Right before harvest, we’ll get hail and strong winds. New diseases are emerging in our vegetables. Parasites are out of control with our livestock.


15. Goat eating fodder


16. SOT Goma Panthi Khatri – Farmer (Nepalese): Climate change is a big challenge for us and our crop yields have dropped. We used to harvest 700 kg of grain, but now it’s 200 kg. 


17. Goma spreading drying seeds on the ground / various


18. Goma in vegetable garden


19. SOT Goma Panthi Khatri Farmer (Nepalese):  Many men are forced to go abroad. We need to shift our traditional farming calendar to adapt to the changes. Somehow we need to increase our crop yields so those who left can come back and others don’t leave. Women are starting to migrate and this is a big problem.


20. FAO local Coordinator Madhav Parajuli and Government official Nanda Lal Pandey at training session of farmer’s field school / various


21. Women looking at fungus on a leaf


22. Government official Nanda Lal Pandey talking at training session


23. Women measuring maize plants


24. SOT Indira KC – Facilitator of Narapani farmer field school (Nepalese): Now we plant maize in straight lines with enough space to walk in the field. 


25.  Â SOT Indira KC – Facilitator of Narapani farmer field school (Nepalese): We used to spread seeds randomly on the slope and they were always washed away by landslides. Now we have learned about intercropping and how it strengthens the top soil… And that our crop yield can increase using this sloped land.


26.  Â Maize crop grown with new adaptation technique


27. Pan from maize grown with traditional method to maize grown with new technique


28. Women in field with intercropping cultivation: ginger and maize


29. Women practicing seed-germination tests / various


30. Women checking soil moisture retention / various


31. Women checking soil acidity / various


32. SOT Pushpa Khanal – Farmer (Nepalese):  This has all been a very good experience for us. Before there was the risk the expensive seeds we might buy at the market would not grow. But now now we know what types of seeds will be good for us.


33. Various of seed-germination tests


34. Women picking  drought resistant fodder and feeding it to buffalo


35. Women checking parasites in goat’s eyes


36. Rupa Thapa feeding goats


37. SOT Rupa Thapa – Farmer (Nepalese): After applying what I’ve learned so far about livestock, my goats are the healthiest they’ve ever been and they’re gaining weight. 


38.  SOT Rupa Thapa – Farmer (Nepalese):We are able to sell the big goats and sometimes the smaller ones.


39. Rupa with her goats / various


40. SOT Rupa Thapa – Farmer (Nepalese): This kind of programme needs to continue, so we can learn more adaptive ways. I hope one day we can create a good environment so our husbands can come home and work back in their homeland and be with their families.


41. Rupa and other women at farmers’ field school / various





ENDS 
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.
