Abstract
Nepal is one of the climatically vulnerable countries with the outgrowths considerably visible in the tropical area of Nepal- the Terai. The farmers here have been confronting challenges in farming, provoked by the issues of climate change affecting their production (yield), deteriorating soil health and the entire livelihood of the farmers. Effective strategies to improve the agriculture practices including the soil is the necessary viewpoint in the terai. The farmers of this region have been adopting and combining their inherited/indigenous knowledge and with the scientific practices incorporated to their traditional, could help them cope with the ongoing climate change judiciously. Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) this approach also has possibilities to mitigate the challenges, especially in the Terai region of Nepal which is the dominant core of production within the whole country.
