An agrarian country with degraded agriculture

Overall, the agricultural sector, which should be the first priority of the state, has been neglected the most.

This country, which we used to say is agrarian, has now reached a state of ruin due to the deterioration of agriculture. The number of citizens who love soil and understand its importance is constantly decreasing.

Based on this context, Yug Pathak's article 'Searching for Bijamantra' was very instructive, realistic and touching. 

Generally speaking, education and development made agriculture more trivial instead of making it higher. The so-called educated elite would be loathe to touch the soil . The comment that the farmers who depend on agriculture are sloppy and the lazy people who eat sitting down are becoming sukila mukila.

In this way, the agricultural sector, which is in a state of crisis, has reached a critical state due to the superficial and superficial changes that have come now. Due to the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the soil is dying, and the problem of seed germination has become increasingly acute.

On the one hand, there is a lack of proper treatment for crop diseases, while there is a middleman's presence in the crops grown by farmers. Neither farmers get a fair price for their produce, nor consumers get cheap food .

Overall, the agricultural sector, which should be the first priority of the state, has been neglected the most. Traditional mixed farming system is also a huge heritage in this country, which is rich in biological diversity. 

In the name of modernity and development, this sector, which has started to decline continuously, should not be delayed to improve the country by making it a respectable profession. When you are hungry, you don't eat stones or banknotes, you need something that grows in the soil.

When the big neighboring countries are moving towards rapid industrialization, what Nepal can do is to increase exports by producing healthy food. -Krishna Kumpure, Adamtar, Dhading
