Comprehensive sectoral restructuring, political commitment, new institutional and legal frameworks, and governance reforms are essential, while carefully navigating regional geopolitical complexities. The book provides a roadmap for restructuring Nepal's agriculture sector, with scientifically robust chapters, that address policy and climate change issues, and align with national policies.
