Enhancing Sustainable and Agrochemical-Free

Agriculture in Nepal

About the Project

We aim to promote agro-chemical-free and sustainable agriculture practices in Nepal. We strive to increase awareness about the detrimental impacts of synthetic chemicals on both human health and the environment. Additionally, we are dedicated to facilitating a transition to organic farming by equipping farmers with reliable, authentic, and effective alternatives to agrochemicals.

In order to attain our goal, we will exclusively conduct the major initiatives in five districts of Nepal, benefiting 375 farmers and 750 secondary students directly.
