Climate Change is a global issue today. Among different sectors being affected by climate change, Agriculture is the prominent field affected by a change in climate in Nepal. Furthermore, Nepal is one of the fourth most vulnerable countries hit by climate change. In such a scenario, it is obvious that climate change has adversely affected Agriculture Sector. So for this, a developing country like Nepal need to adapt Conservation Agriculture Practices over the traditional method of farming that can cope with change in climate by taking the perspective of women towards Agriculture. Why women?? It's because more than 50% of farmers are female, they are the backbone of development of Agriculture Sector. So, it's high time we need to raise the voice of women towards nature by involving them in Conservation Agriculture Practices. There is no Climate Justice until and unless there is no Gender Justice.

Caste and Climate Change
Caste-based discrimination affects more than 260 million Dalits worldwide who suffer from the hidden apartheid of segregation, exclusion and discrimination. Dalit women and girls are the most discriminated, systematically excluded and historically oppressed group in the sub-continent. Dalit women lag behind in most of the areas of human development indicators. Unequal access to resources and opportunities makes Dalit Women more socially vulnerable and frequently exposes them to the chance of being a victim to caste, class and gender-based violence. A woman’s caste in South Asia can increase her exposure to mortality as a result of factors such as poor sanitation and inadequate water supply and health care, says a report by the UN Women. It states that the average age of death for Dalit women is 14.6 years younger than for higher caste women. This story depicts how the historic, institutionalized and systemic oppression of Dalit women from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal will make them one of the most vulnerable, susceptible and high-risk targets in the changing climate.
Nature, Food System and Ecosystem
I have been teaching in one of the most marginalized, poor, and economically deprived communities in Dhading district of Nepal. Around 65 % of the population consists of extremely poor and backward communities of Chepang, Magar, Gurung, and Tamang ethnic groups. I worked in the community to promote cultural diversity. I taught secondary level kids of the communities and provide them several exposure and opportunities. I engaged the kids and their guardians in tree plantation, commercialization of farms, income generation and other economic activities.
