Main activities
Awareness Programs
Organic Association of Nepal organizes various types of awareness programs to enhance the public knowledge about the benefits and necessity of organic farming.
Trainings of Trainers
We conduct various training programs for the trainers. This training package will help to create a outstanding trainer in the field of organic production.
Trainings of Farmers
We provide in-depth training to farmers who can use this knowledge to engage in sustainable organic farming, which not only increases their revenue but also help preserve the environment.
Capacity Development
Capacity Building and Training Programme enables people, communities and organizations to strengthen their capabilities to develop, implement and maintain effective organic production.
Education Programs
The main objective of OAN education program is to provide tools and skills related to organic method of production so that people can make a living based on these skills.
Organic Seed Distribution
OAN also aims to be a distributer of organic seeds at subsidized price.
Organic Fertilizer Development
Organic fertilizers carry some other perks. Because they contain organic material, they improve the soil’s structure or its “workability.”
Organic Market Establishment
OAN aims to create opportunities for the smallholder farmers by inclusion into domestic and international organic markets.
Target Beneficiaries
The program primarily targets organic commodity producers, processors and women led CBOs of all (seven) provinces of Nepal. The consumers in these areas can also derive benefits from the proposed program.
Expected Output
This program expects to train a significant number of farmers, producers, women groups from 21 districts of Nepal and will also train the trainers and technicians about the methods of organic farming, manufacture and empower organic producers economically with trade and export promotion.
Establishing organic marketplaces in these communities is also another goal the association aims to accomplish. These marketplaces will help with the collection of local organic food and products will also serve as distribution centers for those products. Doing so will give the farmers financial benefits and will make it easier for the consumers to access healthy and nutritional organic food and life materials.
Setting its own certification standards for organic products in collaboration with the national authority will help with the quality control of the produces. This will ensure that the producers comply with the regulations and provide quality products to the consumers. Ultimately promotes international trade and export through quality standards compliance and export market expos.
Project Impact
The project is intended to have lasting effects on the quality of living of the members of the society. Having model communities, which benefit from organic farming, will also encourage other communities to adopt this organic production. As a result, the country will experience an “organic revolution.”
Generating a reliable source of income for the producers including women led CBOs will improve their living conditions and will also better the economy of these communities and the country as a whole with trade and export of these products. The general public will also have easier access to nutritional and organically- produced products giving rise to a healthier and economically sound Nepal. In addition, reduced pollution and balanced eco-system will give way to a sustainable environment.
