A recent study by Nepal's Forest Research and Training Center reveals a notable shift in the country's land use pattern. The report conveys a significant reduction in agricultural land from 24.34% in 2019 to 22.59% as of the present, attributed primarily to an exodus from rural areas. Concurrently, forest coverage has seen a notable expansion, rising from 41.71% to 46.08% over the same period, indicating a positive trend towards greening of the countryside. This change underscores the importance of balancing agricultural needs with forest conservation and highlights the need for sustainable land use policies to ensure the well-being of Nepal's rural population while protecting its environmental heritage.
