Increases in soil erosion, landslides, flash floods and droughts \u2013 all which climate change drives \u2013 especially effect its agricultural sector. Poor rural people, who rely on farming for survival have the most to lose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/en\/where-we-work\/nepal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FCA Nepa<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/en\/nepal-country-programme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">l<\/a> has joined an ambitious new project in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.giz.de\/en\/worldwide\/17956.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GiZ<\/a> amongst others, and with funding from the EU and Finnish and German governments, to promote Climate Resilient Agriculture (CRA). Briefly explained, CRA is the ability of any agricultural system to anticipate and prepare for extreme weather and climate change, as well as adapt to, absorb and recover from it. This can be through new techniques and innovations, but also as simple as ancient arts like crop rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The GRAPE programme<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The project, known as the Green Resilient Agricultural Productive Ecosystems (<a href=\"https:\/\/grape.gov.np\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GRAPE<\/a>) programme, helps farmers, cooperations and small business build their climate resiliency in a sustainable way \u2013 both environmentally and financially.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While that means training on agricultural practices, it also means supporting municipalities in integrating climate change into their planning and assisting with information roll-out to the entire region.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate Resilient Agriculture is not a common term in Nepal, and we knew that our first step needed to be that of connecting with people, not immediately implementing change. Too many climate response initiatives fail, because they rely too heavily on specialised technology, often brought from outside.
