In Simthali, New Growth is establishing a resilient community by shifting away from subsistence farming and embracing sustainable organic practices. Their goal is to empower farmers, showcasing adaptability in the face of challenges posed by climate change and illustrating how strategic planning can transform adversity into opportunities for transformative agricultural prosperity.
The lack of infrastructure, particularly roads, poses a significant obstacle to commercializing fruit and nut trees and supporting incomes in Simthali.
New Growth, in collaboration with partners like Planta mi Arbol, guides farmers away from daily wages toward market confidence, providing essential training for resilience in the face of evolving markets and climate change affecting subsistence farming.
The collection of 5000 wild walnuts marks the beginning of their planting program in 2024 sponsored by Planta mi Arbol, serving as a cornerstone of a biodiversity replanting initiative. This effort fosters environmental sustainability and nurtures local community resources, contributing to both people and nature. These trees not only support the community’s nutrition but also provide avenues for sustainable income.
Planta mi Arbol expands this impact by donating 300 softer walnut trees, creating opportunities for small farmers to secure substantial future income. This contribution is complemented by training programs, ensuring farmers are well-equipped to navigate the changing landscape of local agriculture.
Collaborative efforts are underway to explore the potential of walnut oil for future markets, with plans to integrate walnuts into all community forest schemes. As Nepal shapes its development vision, the integration of rural populations into a productive economy takes precedence. The story of walnuts in Simthali mirrors the broader challenges and opportunities in rural Nepal. With strategic investments, infrastructure development, climate-resilient agriculture, and a commitment to diversified, sustainable practices, Simthali unlocks its true potential—one walnut at a time.
