Nepal the land of the braves, Nepal the home to supreme natural wonders, Nepal the birthplace of ultimate ambassador of peace GAUTAM BUDDHA, & Nepal a landlocked Himalayan Nation tucked between two giants India and China is heavily dependent on agriculture and hence the farmers. Whatsoever, farmers in Nepal are not as privileged as they should have been for multiple reasons. SADP-Nepal aims to provide these hardworking farmers every possible assistance including researched backed knowledges, ideal market for their products, introduction of simple agro technologies to add value and shelf life to their high value crops and products, encourage them to practice organic farming and conservation of surrounding environment among others. We SADP-Nepal, a Non Government Organization expect support from everyone in Nepal or abroad capable enough help by any means to uplift the lives of countless farmers in urban and rural Nepal.

Let’s join hands to support our farmers to increase income generation activity in 2026. Your small help can be life-changing to our farmers !!

Volunteer for the better future!!

SADP-Nepal caters opportunities to volunteers from around the world in multiple areas but all aimed to boost environmentally sustainable regenerative organic farming in Nepal and to uplift the lives of underprivileged farmers of Nepal. Prior to plantation of any crop or plant, the timeline between the plantation of the crop and harvesting and post harvesting activities including facilitating justified market as well as researching and implementing ideas to  value add to the available farm products to enhance the shelf life are all the areas our volunteers are welcomed and encouraged to work.

RESEARCH AND TRAINING (CONSERVATION, SOIL FRIENDLY ORGANIC FARMING, MARKET FECILITATION AND PRODUCTION ENHANCEMENT)

Basically, the agriculture in Nepal is very much disorganized in every phase despite the profession being dependent by almost two-third of its population. There could be multiple reasons but the most important reason is the lack of education. SADP-Nepal wants to make an impact by offering as many farmers with the right education. Education comes with the research backed training campaigns.

First Phase Training

We as an organization with our volunteers are always willing to do the needful research mainly based on degree of availability of  four components for successful regenerative organic farming; soil, water, sunlight and natural fertilizers. Based on the findings we shall organize training campaigns all across Nepal with our volunteers to offer farmers a window of relatively larger opportunity to produce the right product out of their farms so that their income gets higher. This phase of the training also includes the techniques required to properly nurture the plant organically so that the food that yields is more and healthier. 

 

Second Phase Training

The second phase training is before the time of harvesting and during harvesting. The training is again based on research and development done by SADP-Nepal and our volunteers. This training includes the innovative ways to make more out of what our farmers have. The training at this phase brings the scattered farmers together for the uniformity of the value they deserve by facilitating the right market. The training also induces traditional ways to  modern innovation to value add to the product produced to enhance shelf life for year around income.

REGENERATIVE ORGANIC FARMING WITH THE FARMERS

The regenerative organic farming together with our farmers is the need of today’s world if we are really willing to fulfill healthy food security in the future. SADP-Nepal is working everyday to educate our farmers about the importance of this method of farming. The soil health is very necessary and because of human greed to yield more we have been using chemical fertilizers for ages and if this phenomena continues eventually the soil becomes lifeless and hence it produces nothing. Our regenerative organic farming includes activities as follows in which our volunteers are encouraged to work with us together.

Conservation of Water Bodies and Forestlands

The effort of SADP-Nepal has always been to conserve the ecology in the vicinity of the farmlands wherever we work. It is integral and hence we with the local farmers and the volunteers are involved in conservation activities like cleaning the rivers, lakes and ponds, constructing a water body or a reservoir, planting the high carbon sinking plants like bamboo in the empty forest lands, getting rid of evasive alien plants from the environment and planting the high value indigenous herbal plants in the forest areas.

 

Working in Organic Farms with the farmers

SADP-Nepal has the network of organic farms with facilities of food and accommodation is various parts of Nepal. Our volunteers can work in these farms learn about indigenous plant species of the country, experience the traditional farming ways and also enjoy the authentic lifestyle of the farmers of Nepal. In these farms volunteers can observe and learn the techniques of producing vermicompost. In addition in these farms volunteers also can gain knowledge of Nepalese culinary arts to some extend. 

EXPERTISE AND TECHNOLOGY 

No industries can sustain without the expert knowledge and the necessary technology and so is the case with regenerative organic farming. SADP-Nepal collaborates with the experts of regenerative organic farming and innovative technical minds required for the industry. They help us in developing the road map of achieving our goal of food security for the future in a sustainable way and uplifting the livelihoods of the hardworking farmers. Our Volunteers can work with these experts and farmers together and be the part of of change. It is an opportunity to witness the small but very important actions taken everyday to conserve the irreplaceable resources of the environment for the future that guarantees the food security.

Expertise

Expertise in regenerative farming not only refers to agricultural scholars with university degrees, it also refers to those who have working on this area for a very long time and learnt how the nature works. SADP-Nepal provides opportunity to our volunteers to work with both kinds of experts in regenerative organic farming whose ultimate goal is to conserve the environment, obtain food security and heal the nature to its best possible form. 

Tradition & Technology

Technology in farming is an old story but technology in organic farming is still evolving. SADP-Nepal considers technology involved in this type of farming  should be free from all sort of equipment and processes that degrades the environment and nutritional value of the food output. We are always keen on learning in finding ways to add value to our farm products for the longer use without contaminating it with no or almost negligible artificial chemicals. SADP-Nepal also works with the farmers and mentors to produce value added products and this is an opportunity to our volunteers to work and learn the traditional Nepalese way slightly blended with technology to preserve food and their value added forms for the longer use.
