OMLAS Agriculture in Nepal

ABOUT THE PROJECT

"Youth Movement for Sustainable Agriculture"

We aim to promote agro-chemical-free and sustainable agriculture practices in Nepal. We strive to increase awareness about the detrimental impacts of synthetic chemicals on both human health and the environment. Additionally, we are dedicated to facilitating a transition to organic farming by equipping farmers with reliable, authentic, and effective alternatives to agrochemicals.
