Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Sustainable Agriculture Volunteer Program in Nepal.

On this program, you will assist a local family with small-scale farming tasks. Volunteers gain farming experience in a cross-cultural setting while helping to introduce newer farming techniques and agribusiness principles that can improve productivity, sustainability and financial security for the farmers, their families and the community.

On arrival in Nepal, volunteers stay in a local hotel in Kathmandu for their two-day orientation. Volunteers are then accommodated together in homestays and hosted by local families who have been approved by our program staff. We give your host family a fee for your support, food and board. It is exciting to stay with a host family, providing you with a unique opportunity to learn about the Nepalese way of life, meet local people, try traditional food and speak the local language - especially when host families in Nepal tend to have limited English.

The program has start dates the first and third Monday every month throughout the year.

This program ranges from 3-12 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available on our website.
 
As a Sustainable Agriculture volunteer, you’ll provide support to small-scale farmers, helping to improve livelihoods for farming communities and implementing more resilient practices. Volunteers are placed with a local farming family to provide assistance on a farm, learning traditional Nepalese techniques and practices while also introducing knowledge of newer farming methods and market opportunities. You can expect to be involved in tasks such as:

• Clearing land
• Cultivating and harvesting crops
• Caring for and moving livestock
• General farm maintenance

For those with prior knowledge or experience, there is also scope to introduce new ideas on how to manage the business side of farming and provide support to increase their financial security. Volunteers who want to help in this capacity should have basic knowledge in related subject areas, such as economics, agriculture, micro-enterprise, accounting, business or entrepreneurship.
