Sustainable Agriculture Volunteer Abroad in Nepal
Agriculture is the single largest employer in Nepal, providing livelihoods for 68 percent of the population.

Agriculture is the single largest employer in Nepal, providing livelihoods for 68 percent of the population. However, many local farmers struggle to make a profit and produce an adequate supply of food for their communities. As a volunteer on the Sustainable Agriculture project in Nepal, your focus is on providing support to small-scale local farmers, resulting in improved livelihoods for farming communities and more resilient and sustainable agriculture practices. Volunteers are placed with a local family to provide assistance on a farm, learning traditional Nepalese agricultural techniques and practices while also introducing knowledge of newer farming methods and market opportunities. You can expect to be involved in tasks such as clearing land, cultivating and harvesting crops.

Making yourself uncomfortable is the best way to grow
by: Alondra EchiverriProgram: Sustainable Agriculture Volunteer Abroad in NepalI have a few favorite moments, but I really enjoyed my time in Chitwan handling and caring for the Buffalo. I've never worked with livestock before, and it was a tough and thrilling experience. There were six Buffalo and I helped clean their pens and feed them. Another favorite moment was cultivating a few gardens in Pokhara and having to chase off monkeys. I have never experienced anything like that. That was also a tough and thrilling experience! The biggest impact that this volunteer trip had...
Meeting the home stay family was life-changing
by: Carol WelchProgram: Sustainable Agriculture Volunteer Abroad in NepalScotia was very helpful. The local team were very organized and helped us with anything we needed. The ability to explore Nepal and all of its great excursions was great: zip lining, safari and helicopter tour of Everest. Meeting the home stay family and starting out as guests and ending up as part of the family was the biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me. It is a wonderful experience especially if you go somewhere out of your comfort zone!
