Situation of Family Farming in Nepal
• Mainly subsistence oriented and yet not capable of feeding the people and facilitating economic development of the country
• Average annual growth rate of agricultural productivity is only 2.7 to 2.8 percent occurring during past two decades.
• The soaring food price is affecting the food security and increasing vulnerability
• Agriculture is becoming least preferable vocation to young generation within rural areas
![Page 10: Celebration of International Year of Family Farming 2014 in Nepal](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/568148e5550346895db6014e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Situation of Family Farming in Nepal
•Difficulties of accessing fair prices, resources and production inputs such as land, water, pasture, local high quality seeds and equipment
•Aging of the rural population due to migration of younger generations to urban centers. This is reducing the number of young people involved in Agriculture.
•Challenge of climatic changes and increased incidences of natural disasters. It has increased the vulnerability of both water intensive cropping system and rain fed agriculture.
•Lack of effective recognition of women’s roles in agriculture
