 Nepal is a landlocked nation located in South Asia between India and the Tibet

Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. The capital of Nepal is Kathmandu,
which is also the largest metropolitan area, with about 5 million inhabitants. Nepal is divided
into five development regions and fourteen zones. The development regions are Eastern
Region (Purwanchal), Central Region (Madhyamanchal), Western Region (Pashchimanchal),
Mid-Western Region (Madhya Pashchimanchal), and Far-Western Region (Sudur
Pashchimanchal). The fourteen zones of Nepal are Bagmati, Bheri, Dhawalagiri, Gandaki,
Janakpur, Karnali, Koshi, Lumbini, Mahakali, Mechi, Narayani, Rapti, Sagarmatha, and

Pros:
1. Lesser Costs, Higher Gains
According to farmers who practice conventional farming, one of its benefits
is the cheaper costs of using this method. Unlike organic farmers who use
compost and animal manure which are expensive to ship, conventional
farmers can use synthetic chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge that are
cheaper. Also, they can also make use of a larger area of land to plant their
crops and thus, can sell higher when the demand is also at its peak

2. More Job Opportunities

Advocates for conventional farming posit that there are several ways
this method opens doors for the working class. Since farmers can use
 larger areas of farmlands, potential farm workers will be given jobs
easily because of the need for more help in the fields. Other job
opportunities include drivers of delivery trucks, laborers and helpers.
3.  Increase of Food Production
Since production costs of conventional farming are low, farmers will
be able to produce more crops and as a result, meet the growing
demand for food supply. With the effects of global warming which
include natural calamities, drought and the like, food production
becomes low.
 Cons :
1.  Presence of Pesticides
One of the drawbacks of conventional farming is the use of
chemical fertilizers and pesticides that are used and sprayed on the
crops. These harmful chemicals can enter the crops and when
animals and human beings eat these crops, they will be exposed to
health risks attributed to the use of these synthetic chemicals.
Concerned groups say that 13 types of chemicals can be present in
conventionally grown crops which children usually eat.
2.  Health and Environmental Hazards
Opponents of the use of the conventional farming claim that this
method introduces pollutants to the environment like the
byproducts that result from the process of manufacturing these
chemicals and fertilizers. As for the case of animals being used for
food production, conventional farming also has an impact on this
because these animals are fed with mass-produced feeds that can
also potentially harm these animals.

  Pros:
1. Increase economy of country:
The study was designed to analyze the production trend, annual growth rate, export
and import, and prospects of the Nepali orthodox tea. Findings showed that production
of tea is in increasing trend with an average annual growth rate of 9.55%. Despite
possessing ample opportunity in domestic and international markets, yet country only
produces little amount of orthodox tea. Further, 90% of the total produced orthodox tea
was imported primarily to India which has been one of the factors for not being able to
receive optimum premium as compared to other tea exporting countries like China and
India.

2 . Creation of Employment:
