The earth is very diverse. This is evident from continent to continent, country to country or even town to town. What doesn’t change across the globe is basic human needs. The need for food, water, and shelter is essential no matter where you stand in the world (Conrad, 2010). Agriculture plays a huge role in all three of these fundamentals. This is why agricultural practices across the world are necessary. The agriculture sector in Nepal accounts for over 70% of employment (Central Intelligence Agency, 2016). This value proves that the reliance on agriculture is very important to Nepalese. Khadka states that a crucial reason to Nepal’s poverty is because of agriculture. Majority of people are involved in agriculture but with lack of tools and knowledge the industry is not generating near its potential (1998). The goal is to design and/or discover a Canadian made product in hopes to better agri-food techniques in Nepal.
