The 8th National Conference on Food Science and Technology [Food Conference - 2018] was successfully held in 22- 23 June 2018 in Kathmandu.
It was organized by Nepal Food Scientists and Technologists Association and co-organized by CAFODAT, Central Campus of Technology and Department of Food Technology and Quality Control (DFTQC). YPARD Nepal was the communciation partner for the conference and it was promoted as #fcon18 in social sites. Click download to access the document.
Climate change has a profound impact on agriculture with dwindling crop production putting global food security at risk. Nepalese agriculture is at a great risk of losing the battle against climate change due to undiversified, traditional and monsoon-dependent farming practices. A study funded by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) revealed that by the 2070s, net agricultural losses in Nepal due to climate change are estimated to be the equivalent per year of around 0.8% of current GDP, or US$140 million/year in current prices
2. Climate Change Adaptations and Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA)
