The project objective is that farmers in the Koshi River Basin are resilient to climate variability and change and adopt sustainable farm-based livelihoods. Barriers to this objective are addressed through three components. First, the scale-up and roll-out of climate resilient and sustainable farming practices will lead to agricultural communities with diversified livelihoods and improved climate resilience. Second, the strengthening of farmer climate and market foresight services will allow farmers to address climate risks and enhance productivity over near and longer timescales. Third, the creation of an enabling environment will facilitate sustainable market driven farming systems more responsive to climate risks.
