Government of Nepal has declared irrigation as one of the leading programs for the agriculture development. Though Nepal has abundant water resources, water available for sound irrigation is still scarce. In the absence of well-organized water governance mechanisms, adequacy, fairness and reliability of water and sustainability of operation and maintenance, crop productivity remain low. This is not properly happening as most of the farmers have inadequate irrigation, inputs, technology, low education status, subsistence oriented farming, marginal farmers, low farm income, low purchasing power and poor health. The crop cultivation more than one time in a year has its positive relationship with cropping intensity and vice versa in the study area. Hence, households need to be getting up and encouraged towards year round irrigation that produce different types of the crops in different seasons and ultimately backs up in cropping intensity as well as productivity. The crop production is fluctuated widely as a result of the amount of water available as well as weather conditions. Despite the higher yield of spring paddy, the cropped area is constrained due to limit water availability in spring season.

This write-up aims to first clarify the notion of phenomenology by offering sayings of different experts of this genre. Thereafter, it attempts to briefly trace its genesis and classify this broad idea in three different schools viz. transcendental, hermeneutic and existential. After discussing very precisely on each of these schools, it focuses on the premises of hermeneutic phenomenology as a method for doing research. The purpose of this essay is to collect and exhibit a crude paradigmatic clue of doing a hermeneutic phenomenological research. During the course, it emphasizes on the metaphysical stance, methodological grounds, quality concerns and ethical issues that contribute to its paradigmatic assumptions.

This book analyzes the sustainability of community seed production under a rice-wheat farming system from microeconomic perspectives, considering how seed producers benefit from community seed production and how those benefits continue into the future. Seed producers' performance in resource management, governance and marketing strategies indicates current benefits, whereas soil conservation and risk-management practices provide the basis for future benefits. Community seed production is a local-level seed management system owned by farmers. This system provides the institutional mechanism to supply diversified seed demands of open-pollinated varieties of food crops in a cost-effective way in rural regions. Being able to address the concerns of food insecurity, poverty, climate stress and biodiversity loss in programs and policies of development agencies, community seed production is gaining popularity among the farmers and the policy makers in developing countries. This book discusses the issues of organizational governance of the community seed producers' groups and links them with household-level benefits to understand the organizational dynamism and the probable development paths of such organizations in the future. It also highlights the necessity to institutionalize lessons learned in community seed production in the stakeholders' programs and policies. These understandings provide a basis for formulating policies for strengthening the system in developing countries. Students, researchers, policy makers and donor agencies working with CSP in the developing world will find this book useful in broadening their understanding of CSP in general and its sustainability in particular.

"This book offers a wide, in-depth study of the gender-climate change-agriculture nexus. Despite more than 40 years of research exploring this nexus, there is still ambiguity around the foundations, connections, and approaches for planning gender-inclusive climate policies. This volume aims to clear that ambiguity"--
