Climate change is devastating traditional farming in the Himalayas. Unpredictable rainfall, earlier springs, and more frequent droughts are causing crop failures. Farmers who have grown potatoes and barley for generations are watching their harvests shrink year after year.

Food insecurity is increasing as traditional crops fail. Families are forced to purchase expensive imported food, draining limited incomes. Young people are leaving farming communities for cities, threatening the sustainability of mountain agriculture.

Farmers need new knowledge and tools to adapt to changing conditions. Without support in transitioning to climate-resilient practices, these communities face increasing hunger and economic hardship.

This program will train 800 farmers in climate-adapted agricultural techniques, provide improved seeds, and establish demonstration greenhouses in 12 villages.
