Farmers in Nepal are beginning to understand the importance of bio dynamic farming. Many of the vegetables farmers have converted to organic or at least the use of less chemicals. The local cooperative, Coopeatenas, would like to continue the conversion to sustainable farming and organic, when possible. Work side by side with the farmers to learn the practices, show them new alternatives, and interview farms with the potential of converting them to sustainable agriculture.
