On 22 April 2026, ForestAction Nepal, serving as the Secretariat of the Alliance of Agriculture for Food, organized a press conference in Kathmandu to formally release its comprehensive policy suggestion letter titled “Reforms to be Made in the National Commitment on the Agriculture Sector.”
The policy response follows the Government of Nepal’s publication of its National Commitment Document on 14 April 2026, which reviewed the agricultural manifestos of six major political parties and invited feedback from sector stakeholders.
Drawing on its long-standing research and advocacy work in sustainable agriculture and food systems, the Secretariat prepared and submitted a set of strategic recommendations aimed at strengthening the policy direction of Nepal’s agricultural sector. These recommendations have formally been submitted to the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers.
The initiative reflects the Alliance’s continued engagement in evidence-based policy dialogue and its commitment to promoting sustainable, resilient, and inclusive food systems in Nepal.
