Abstract

Resilience can be defined as the capacity of a household to maintain basic sustenance in food and health. Farmers have developed manifold strategies to cope with frequently occurring minor stress factors resulting in fluctuating yields. Major disasters such as earthquakes or landslides, which occur periodically, are more difficult to prepare for. This article focuses on food securing strategies at farm and community level that contribute to a resilience capacity, and compares the disturbance factors and the resilience capacity of Nepalese farmers, then and now.
