VIN s Environment and Conservation Programs focus on promoting community awareness of crucial environmental issues and developing solutions. VIN runs a number of environmental projects to conserve, promote and protect environment and culture and to prevent, abate and control water, land and air pollution in order to enhance health, safety and welfare of this and future generation. We use permaculture for sustainable farming We started teaching and implementing Permaculture from later 2018 We believe Permaculture help restore whole ecosystemAgriculture provides subsistence and employment for 80 of the population of Nepal, accounting for approximately 39 to the total GDP. The development of the sector is crucial for the empowerment of those who rely upon it and for the national economy.Since Nepal is in Himalayan region, it has been badly affected by the Climate Change The sources of water are drying; new types of moths / insects are in existence; the crop cultivation time changed, unexpected change in climate, unpredictable rainfall, draughts etc. are the result of global warming Nepalese farmers facing.Okhaldhunga is vulnerable to food insecurity. Though agriculture is major profession of people they are suffered due to insufficient food production. This is all due to unavailability of fertile land, soilerosion, lack of irrigation, unavailability of quality seed, fertilizer and technology. The project would support them in sustainable food production by providing them knowledge, skills and resources. This supports in improving their livelihoods by ensuring advance agriculture and livestock management with balancing environment and ecology.12 principles of Permaculture Observe and interact- Let s slow down and observe and appreciate our surroundings and others. Let s slow down and interact with others, in real life, not on our phones. Catch and store energy- Take time to relax to restore balance and energy. Also, for me this means associating myself with those who bring positive energy and it means doing things that bring me joy and make me feel energized like running and learning. Obtain a yield- In permaculture, this of course might mean planting in such a way that the most food is created. The food is the reward. In life, we can work to obtain an intrinsic or extrinsic reward. These rewards need not be strictly financial. Perhaps the reward is making a difference in your client s life or making your coworker s day a little bit easier. Apply self-regulation and accept feedback- Self-regulation or self-control allows us to be accountable and it empowers us. Feedback helps us improve which will help us excel at work. Use and value renewable resources and services and produce no waste- These two principles are simply common-sense tips to living a eco-friendly lifestyle and in creating a more sustainable world. Design from patterns to details- Permaculture calls for standing back and observing
Basic English should be spoken among the participants. The volunteer should be fully vaccinated and should have a certificate against COVID-19
