We welcome Milan Shrestha as a new group member and are looking
forward to his introduction and input into the discussions of this group.

I would like to encourage all members to write a few lines about your
SRI activities during this upcoming monsoon season.

- Are there any new innovative projects?
- How are you promoting SRI at the farmers level?
- What are new developments in SRI in Nepal?

Looking forward to a lively exchange of ideas and hope that rains will
come in time and sufficiently. The increase of rice-prices worldwide
should spur us to produce more rice - it will be worth it!

Regards from Germany,

Dear Chris,
I was starting from most recent emails and hadn't seen this when I
replied. Yes, 2,500 m seems to be the SRI record. This will be good news
in Bhutan too. We will put an item on this in the next Update, and will
post the picture and your info on the Nepal page. Many thanks,
Norman

Dear Basanta ji,

congratulations for joining our group. We are looking forward to learn
about you and your work in Laos. I guess the SRI experience there will

bit about yourself. Thanks,

to learn about SRI (System of Rice Intensification) method. Farmers
were represented from Surkhet, Banke, Bardia and Dang district. Among
35 visitors 8 were women participants. They visited several SRI fields

Hello SRI group

As a new member to this group, let me introduce myself.

I am a brand-new expat in Concern Worldwide, based in Nepalgunj as a programme
advisor. My main duty fr the next 2 years is to establish and livelihoods
programme for us - from research through planning and partner selection to
funding and implementation. We are a very small team here, and like everyone
else will be working entirely through partners.

As I am new here I cannot give a clear idea of what we will be doing, although
there are certain aspects of livelihoods that are of particular interest, such
as:
- agricultural improvements for increased production and sustainability (which
is where SRI and permaculture / conservation agriculture / agroforestry come in)
- better community management of common resources (NTFPs etc)
- better links to markets through storage, processing, value adding etc
- assisting groups of vulnerable people to establish incone generation through
saving and credit schemes leading to some sort of economic activity (them to
decide), in a sustainable way economically, socially and environmentally

I am very interested in the promotion of better agriculture for smallholders,
especially in food insecure areas, and the advocacy for widespread change in
mentality regarding agriculture, towards what I call 'intelligent planning and
design', into which SRI neatly fits!

We will be focused, at least for the next few years, on the mid-west region, as
we already have projects under way there.

I am looking forward to your comments and my participation. I would love to
receive any research documents on the mid west or rural livelihoods in Nepal, if
anyone has any... and once I have more of an idea of what we are doing, I'll be
happy to share information too.

Dom Kihara-Hunt

REPORT ON SRI PERFORMANCE AT 2300 METERS ELEVATION IN NEPAL

Chris Evans, who helped get SRI started in Nepal in 2001, has sent the most recent issue of the Himalayan Permaculture Group's "Newsletter and Progress Report" for June-December 2006. This contains a report from work of the Permaculture Group in Humla region in the Far West of Nepal (http://ciifad.cornell.edu/sri/countries/nepal/nepatanewsletter.pdf).

A farmer-cooperator Manjit Tanata planted two plots of SRI rice on his farm at 2300 m elevation, it reports. After one month, he became anxious about the slow growth of the SRI plants, so he replanted one of the plots with conventional methods. However, Manjit found that his SRI plot eventually outperformed the replanted plot and all other rice plots in the area. "[Manjit] says next year he will plant more land using SRI principles and will teach other farmers how to do the same." (p. 4) There also a picture (p. 12) of the SRI rice of Shyam Shrestha, who represented Nepal at the first international SRI conference in Sanya, China in 2002.
