Sammendrag

Agricultural intensification (AI) has for the past two or three decades been a widely practiced agricultural production system used in the mid-Hill watersheds of Central Nepal. This has been triggered by rising human and livestock populations which exert a serious pressure to the available agricultural land. The need to increase and secure agricultural output required greater use of agrochemicals (fertilizers and pesticides). The indiscriminate use of diverse types of pesticides and the exposure of farmers to these raised a number of questions relating to health, produce quality and environmental degradation. Kathmandu University in cooperation with Agricultural University of Norway and Jordforsk initiated a three year project in 2003 funded by the Norwegian Agency for International Development (NORAD) to, among others, provide: 1. A clearer understanding of the potentially adverse impacts of agriculture intensification in the mid-hills of Nepal; 2. Improved understanding of how market forces and external interventions may impact socio-economic development of rural communities and factors motivating farmers to adopt intensive production systems in the mid-hills; and 3. Useful policy formulation and implementation guidelines and tools for rapid assessment of land use and agricultural impacts of AI on soil and water quality and on environment and human health.
