Suraj comes from a family of smallholder farmers. At one time, Suraj used to produce seasonal vegetables like chili, onion and tomato. However, due to the lack of water to be used for irrigation, growing vegetables during the dry season was extremely difficult. At the same time, growing tomatoes during the rainy season, when they fetch high prices, was not feasible because excessive rain would negatively affect both crop growth and attract pests and increase the risk of disease. As a project participant in the FOSTER project, ADRA supplied Suraj with plastic materials, and other local materials, to build a greenhouse. In addition, he installed a drip irrigation system with a 100-litre tank to be able to deliver water directly to the plant\u2019s roots, especially during the dry season.<\/p>\n

Suraj dit fi\u00e8rement \u201cI am able to extend the growing season of vegetables, especially tomato during the rainy season and gourds during winter. I am also able to efficiently use the scarce water through the drip system. This technology has really helped to boost the production even during extreme weather conditions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In the last three years, Suraj\u2019s income from his vegetables has increased by more than 300%. He has already sold his tomatoes worth NPR 50,000 (CAD 530.00) and is hoping to make more from the onions in his field. Suraj is also using a variety of integrated pest management practices including yellow sticky traps, lures and pesticides made from locally available botanicals. It has helped him to significantly reduce the application of chemical inputs. Now that he is using fewer chemicals, he has seen an improvement in the soil\u2019s condition as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"Sustainable Development Goal 13 is about climate action and is one of 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015. The official mission statement of this goal is to \u201cTake urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts\u201d. SDG 13 has targets which are to be achieved by 2030.<\/p>\n

Le projet FOSTER<\/span><\/h2>\n

Apr\u00e8s le tremblement de terre d\u00e9vastateur au N\u00e9pal en 2015, ADRA a aid\u00e9 les personnes vivant dans les zones rurales du N\u00e9pal \u00e0 se r\u00e9tablir avec le projet FOSTER. Dans un projet conjoint financ\u00e9 par ADRA Canada et la Banque canadienne de c\u00e9r\u00e9ales, ADRA N\u00e9pal a travaill\u00e9 avec des agriculteurs pour leur apprendre \u00e0 r\u00e9ussir dans l'\u00e9levage de ch\u00e8vres et le mara\u00eechage. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ces m\u00e9thodes simples, ADRA a aid\u00e9 les gens \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper de nouvelles sources de revenus pour aider \u00e0 subvenir aux besoins de leurs familles.<\/p>\n
