🐝 Happy World Bee Day! 🌸

Bees do more than make honey — they keep our food systems alive. Without pollinators, nearly one-third of everything we eat simply wouldn't exist.

On this special day, we're excited to share a video: 🎥 "Pollination Management: A Frontier to Revitalizing the Agricultural Systems" produced by us for LI-BIRD (LI-BIRDko Chautari (ली-बर्डको चौतारी)) — exploring how thoughtful pollination strategies can transform modern agriculture and help us build a more food-secure future.

👉 Watch, share, and let's celebrate the tiny wings behind our biggest harvests!

पर्यावरणीय कृषि भन्नाले रैथाने ज्ञान र स्थानीय स्राेतमा आधारित दिगाे तथा प्रकृतिसम्मत खेती प्रणाली भन्ने बुझिन्छ । यो उत्पादनको माध्यमको रूपमा मात्र नभइ, वातावरण, समाज र अर्थतन्त्रसँग जोडिएको एक समग्र प्रणाली हो । यसले परम्परागत ज्ञान, स्थानीय अभ्यास, जैविक विविधता, प्राकृतिक स्रोतहरूको दिगो उपयोग, र किसानको भूमिका तथा अधिकारलाई केन्द्रमा राख्छ। नेपालजस्तो भौगोलिक र सामाजिक विविधता भएको देशमा, पर्यावरणीय कृषिले स्थानीय सन्दर्भअनुसार दिगो, उत्थानशील र समावेशी कृषि प्रणाली विकास गर्न सहयोग गर्छ ।
यस पुस्तिकामा पर्णावरणीय कृषिका असल अभ्यासहरूलाइ समेट्ने प्रयास गरिएको छ ।

[Publication] Farmers Field School Manual on Pollination Management |
Pollination boosts yields and quality for over 75% of global crops, yet it remains largely overlooked in Nepal’s agriculture. This Farmers Field School (FFS) manual aims to build awareness and capacity among farmers and agriculture technicians for pollinator conservation and pollination service management. It covers key topics such as pollination importance, pollinator decline, and agro-ecological practices including pest, soil, and nutrient management.
Developed through FFS sessions in Jumla, the manual’s principles are relevant across Nepal and similar smallholder farming contexts worldwide.
This manual is an output of the “Embedding Sustainable Pollination Management into Nepalese Agricultural Systems” project, funded by the UK Darwin Initiative, and led by the University of Bristol in collaboration with LI-BIRD, HERD International, MoLMAC, AFU, and TU.
