To scale up the results, the project will also test a public-private partnership model for reaching 25,000 households. Nearly 70% of Nepal’s cultivated crop land is on narrow rain-fed terraces which require planting and weeding by hand: isolated work that is usually done by women. The research contributes to better working conditions for women, and helps farmers cope with climate change.application/pdfenSUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE KITSTERRACE FARMINGFARMER TRAININGWOMEN FARMERSNEPALSOUTH ASIAWOMEN IN AGRICULTUREAPPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGYNITROGEN FIXATIONNITROGEN FIXING BACTERIALEGUMESPolicy Brief
