For many landless and marginalized families in Nepal, securing a stable livelihood remains a constant struggle. Seasonal wage labor is often their main source of income, leaving households vulnerable to food insecurity and economic shocks. In this context, beekeeping is emerging as a practical and climate‑smart livelihood option -one that requires little land, modest investment, and can be managed from home.

To promote this opportunity, UN‑Habitat as part of the ongoing project funded by Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Kores implemented  a five‑days’ Basic Beekeeping Training for Landless Farmers in Dang district. The training was conducted from 16 to 22 March 2026 in partnership with Good Neighbors International (GNI) Nepal and the Community Self Reliance Centre (CSRC).
