Food insecurity in Nepal


The Oxfam case study done is bias towards the rural places of Nepal. It is an informative article since there are statistics and facts about the people who face food insecurity. The reason 31% of the people in Nepal face food insecurity is because they live in terrains that do not favor agriculture, the climate changes unpredictably, men of the families go abroad to work and exporting food is very expensive.  The article is also shares the ways they are trying to solve this problem. They have come up with ways to irrigate the farms, produce seeds and harvest crops, creating a bridge between the communities and the traders, building infrastructures that will help the people, especially from the mountainous region, to import crops and to train communities (especially women) about new farming techniques.
