About Lesson
  • The most prominent difficulty faced by farmers of Nepal is that of the terrain and environment in which they live.
  • Population pressures have forced farmers to clear more land, leading to deforestation that has adverse effects especially on the fragile mountain environment.
  • Not only does deforestation increase the likelihood of landslides, but it also reduces the watershed area leading to drinking and irrigation water shortages, decreases the supply of fodder for livestock and firewood for cooking and heating purposes.
  • Such problems further degrade the ability of the subsistence farming system practiced in Nepal to provide for the food needs of villagers.
  • This increase in production has not been able to meet the ever increasing food needs of the people due to increase in population and the domestic food supply on Nepal is getting bad.
